Quick Overview

This compass provides high-precision, off-grid ground navigation for tactical and wilderness environments. Its phosphorescent markings must be charged by an external light source to enable reliable night use without reliance on batteries.

Field Application Steps

  1. Determine your magnetic azimuth from a map, ensuring you have corrected for local declination.
  2. Execute the 'Compass-to-Cheek' technique by aligning the sight wire on a target and reading the precise bearing through the rear sight lens.
  3. For night use, charge the phosphorescent markings for 10-15 seconds with a shielded light source.
  4. Set a night azimuth by rotating the bezel ring until the luminous line aligns with the charged north-seeking arrow.
  5. Maintain a safe distance from all metal objects and power sources to avoid magnetic interference and ensure accurate readings.
