How to Use a Military Style Sighting Compass
- 1). Open the compass cover containing the sight to a vertical position, making it form a right angle with the dial portion of the compass.
- 2). Fold the rear sight forward toward the vertical compass cover aligning it with the sight slot in the cover.
- 3). Look through the rear sight, aligning it and the front sight slot with a distant object. Use a landmark, such as a mountain, power lines or a tall tree.
- 4). Look down at the azimuth on the compass dial while still holding the compass to your cheek.
