I understand, sometimes I wish I had more chickens.
To be fair the Polar scope will probably help somewhat but none of my shots have been with it, Polaris isn't to hard to find a centre. As long as you take the time(which isn't too long really) and care to set up it should work straight from the box. I'd say it'd encourage you more rather than discourage you.
It certainly has given me a boost.
You have came across my threads on SGL too.
