Review on Dependable Boy Scout Compass for Navigation, Orienteering, and Survival - Liquid Filled, Rotating Bezel, Magnetic Heading - Reliable Outdoor Gear by Micheal Wolf

As a former surveyor I am well aware of the parameters of a compass of this size and configuration. This is a very good copy of the Brunton design which makes a quality product and I have used it in the field for many years. However, compasses of this size cannot be used for actual shooting, but rather for general orientation in deep forest or in the desert on cloudy days or in low light. In situations like this, they're great for getting through the bushes because, at least here in Oregon, it's usually impossible to drive straight for any length of time. Therefore, you must use it to reorient yourself each time you pass an obstacle. Of course, no compass will help you if you don't know the direction of the road you want to take. --- Get a map as there are many places (in Oregon) that have no signal at all.
