Has anyone else tried out the new signal mirrors from County Comm?

I find them excellent in their manufacture, finish and fit. I like their light weight, apparently high reflectivity, and crisp printing and sighting lines.

I was a little disappointed to find that there was no fireball or back-sighting feature. If I'm reading the instructions correctly, you're supposed to coordinate the reflection on your hand with the crosshairs, then move the crosshairs to your target.

I guess the idea is that if you keep the mirror in a fixed position relative to your eye, that calibration or alignment will hold across a distance. I don't find that to be the case.

In practice, it seemed more effective to use my fingers in a V. The spot of light seemed to drift well away from the crosshairs if any distance was involved.

Am I missing something?
