114-195.... .... .... ....


Then I get stuck, this is probably something my brain should be able to figure out...
114 + 165 = 279 true bearing to target

John’s way you will get to the same place, but in this case, since the answer would be negative, you need to add 360. That’s the general rule, if you get an answer that doesn’t make sense meaning it is less than zero or greater than 360, add or subtract 360 as necessary.

My advice would be to pay very close attention to my use of the attack disc in the video there, because that is what the disc does for you. When you use it, you just have to be sure that you have the toggle switch flipped so that it slaves to your course.
