Without knowing all the data, I can only take a blind stab. Are you sure you are converting all bearings to True Bearing. This will not affect AoB, of course, but it will affect all other bearing observations. Just a suggestion.

And I would echo what Pisces posted. Try practicing in the harbour. Especially when you have a ship that is not moving so you can practice using the targeting disk. It is not easy, so don't feel bad. But it is worth it.
