- Secure a stable grip using the thumb loop and open the compass to create a sight line.
- Raise the compass to your cheekbone to establish a consistent anchor point, minimizing error.
- Align the front sighting wire with the distant landmark while looking through the rear peep sight.
- While holding alignment, glance down through the magnifying lens to read the precise magnetic bearing from the dial.
- To follow a known bearing, rotate your body until the desired degree is under the index line, then sight a landmark in that direction.
