    Yep - everyone whose age is still in double figures can remember what sort of compass they have.

    That is obviously low double figures GB because I am buggered if I can remember what sorts I have. And I am not climbing in the attic to find out.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Haha Tussock, you're a funny guy... 7 minutes from "real deal" to "junk"

    Anyone using a compass should learn how/when to add or subtract declination, it is a pretty fundamental part of compass work...

    So, what would the practical effect be of using a non "universal hub" global needle compass in an incorrect zone ? How far out would it be ?
