sights

[tusti]

Read a post about a right hand shooting guy whose left eye was the dominate one. He mounted a 1 inch mirror on the tang facing toward the muzzle and lined up with the iron sights. He then mounted another mirror about 8 inches farther down and on the left hand side of the barrel and facing the first mirror. Lined it up so that when he shouldered the gun, he could look at the mirror mounted on the side of the barrel which was facing the first mirror and get a good sight picture.
I know it may sound a little Mickey Mouse and not very practical for hunting, but for bench work, he said it worked great. Anybody ever see this sort of thing before? ::

I have the same problem too. So far I've been getting by just closing my left eye. If I try to keep both eyes open, I get eyestrain headache. The mirrors would probably work, but I can't see my shootin' buddys allowing me to step to the line with mirrors on my rifle. They'd just know I was up to sumpthin crooked. :haha:

Put a piece of translucent celophane on your shooting glasses over the left eye. This blurs the vision of the left eye and allows you to focus with the right eye.

Sound a lot like something the Army uses (used) for marksmanship training...a pair of smoked glass (mirrors) lenses attatch to the carrying handle/rear sight of the M-16. While the shooter is looking down range getting a sight picture, the coach/instructor is laying at a 90 degree angle looking into the sight adaptor to watch the sight picture & make corrections :yakyak: Seems like the same idea..just a one person rig.
