A method for correcting for tool face offset in directional drilling components, namely between a directional sensor reference point and a high side of a bent sub. Graduated markings applied on an outer surface of a UBHO sub containing the directional sensor and a reference marking on drill pipe indicating high side of the bent sub, or alternatively graduated markings applied to drill pipe relative to the high side of the bent sub and a reference marking on the outer surface of the UBHO, are together utilized to determine the tool face offset, which is then provided to a software program to permit the software programme to then indicate a correct bent sub angular orientation to the directional drilling operator at surface. Bottom hole components utilizing graduated markings on one of such bottom hole components and having a reference marking on the other of the components, are also disclosed.
