I then bring up the book, which doesn't really do anything but waste time, but that's realistic so I do it anyway. Then I bring up the WE again and have him give me the info. I then put the scope down and wait a couple of minutes and do it again, just as I would if I was doing it manually. I always take at least three sightings, which increases the chance of my scope being spotted.
In the end it's all hocus-pocus, since I really only needed to take one snap sighting, but it makes me feel good.
And I somehow manage to miss a lot anyway.

I do the same thing! Almost word for word.
And 'we' miss quite a bit too.
