For manual sight reductions there are many options, NASR, Pub 229, Pub 249 and direct solution by the law of cosines formula (LOC). I find the LOC the most accurate and the United States Powerboat Squadron sight has a good form for this process available on their web site. The formual is easy to follow in calulator keystrokes, even for me.
