Depends. If all the relevant charts can be printed on one A4/letter size paper, something like that can be fast and useful.

If you finalize anything and want to see the curves let me know. I've been trying to solve this over the past few days and have not found an elegant solution yet.

Then I can't help you. I said "quick and dirty"
But I think the mechanic is simple enough. If getting a 1, roll a D6. Keep on rolling the D6 until it doesn't end up as a one. First D6 is -5 + D6, second is -10 + D6, third is -15 + D6, and so on.
Getting a 6 will go back to the 1 of the former dice, closing the gap some open ended roll system tend to have. The D6 also gives the advantage of ending up on an incremental of fives, making the math during play a bit easier.
The odds of a 3D20L, with this addon, to get a -6 is about 1,6%, while that untrained shooter with 2D20H as a 0,03% chance.
