The bearing seems to be leading the target by about 3-4 degrees to clockwise most of the time, but I also end up with it going kind of wild either way once in a while. The targets have all been in rough water and at long range, so I'm probably not getting a good bearing on them.

My main problem is that I'm concentrating too much on the contact on the map. I need to turn it off so I can concentrate on my plot, instead of falling back on habit.

I downloaded all the pictures from that tutorial so I can flip through them. Very nice stuff!
