LOL. They're addicting (like knives)

Now that you have the compass, you might want the miltary technical manual also. I'm sure you already know the basics but it describes the proper way to grip this particular model to take a bearing, the ratio of bezel clicks to degrees/mils, etc. I wish I could post the link but i'ts not working for me. The best source I know is Amazon. The particular manual to look for is TM 91290-333-15.

Hi GB
I have and use the US compass. They excellent! Iwouldnt go back to the Sylva type for anything. Very tough and accurate and well worth the time to get used to them. Havent used the British one but have been told they are on the same lines as the US. I hope you find one matey.
All the best
