Any Good On-line Instructions on Lensatic Compass Usage?

[kenk]

From another thread ....

Can anyone point me to a good on-line instruction with illustrations for use of a lensatic compass?

BTW, I ordered the Lensatic compass without Tritium - it was just too expensive for what I need, and if I do any navigation at night I'll most likely be wearing a headlamp anyway.

Curious, I could not find anything about lensatic compass in those URLs. In fact, the last one explicitely stated that Silva Ranger compass is required for that course.

Have I missed something?

the only differance with the LC is that the cover is the sight and lock for the dial card.
