Pin on Compass

[Barracuda]

used to be able to get pin on compasses everywhere but now it seems like i cant find any. i used to keep them on several of my jackets as well as the mc cross pad ,dash visor etc . I really like the marbles but a little to nice to leave on the bike etc , the cheap ones are great . I would buy a dozen if i could find them still. anyone got a lead in the lower mainland?

I really dislike E-Bay in general.

I'm sure a dollar store would have something like that. I know the kids near always come home from B-day parties with something like that in a goodie bag.

I've always used my Silva Ranger (in mils, not degrees) on a lanyard (from my button hole to my left lower pocket. That way I never lose it and it's ready when I need it. Plus it's way more accurate than one that only displays cardinal points.

Silva has a small pin on compass that cost around $20. I have one but I don't it depend on it much since I alway pack the Silva Ranger azimuth model. The silva is one of the few pin-ons that is worth owning since it operates like a miniture orienting compass and is relatively accurate.

Anglo-Saxon why do you use the mills graduated compass since they're really an odd ball in north america. I have one too, but only because it's an odd ball even more than the quadrant compass has become. I understand the mills compasses are only used by the Australian military, but I don't know first-hand.

We use mils when we shoot artillery. However I agree with most everyone else that degrees are the way to go.

I do not feel comfortable with pin on compasses, or watch compasses. I trust my Silva Ranger but I've used that style for years and see no reason to change.
