I see this topic has bubbled up yet again on another thread. By now, I've read lots of articles on this topic (being visually cross-eye dominant myself)... but none of it really clicked all that well until I started watching videos on the topic. Because if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million! FYI, the BEST video I've found on this topic so far is the one I'm attaching. Now, quite frankly, a lot of what it covers is still over my head, mainly because it covers types of scopes that I know nothing about (ACOGs, etc.). Some of you advanced shooters might get a lot more out of it. Nonetheless, what I liked about the video was the following: It's well-filmed with high production value... unlike a lot of stuff on YouTube It covers pistols, rifles and multiple types of scopes (shotguns is the only platform it doesn't address --- so once I find a great video on that, I'll share) Multiple methods are covered: both eyes open, one closed, shifting the position of your head, etc. It shows that one method might work better for you than others --- or you, in fact, might adopt multiple methods (for different situations) You get to see this guy transitioning seamlessly from one method to another (at amazing speed!) He even ends the video on an up note - "don't think of it as a disability - just find workarounds, train a lot", etc. >>> You know, MODS... maybe there should be a forum devoted to: VISION (Cross-eye Dominance, Presbyopia, Other). These are very common issues that affect LOTS of people, yet the threads are scattered all around the forums, making them more difficult to search/retrieve. And the topics don't always fit into the "Optics" forum either - because that's about equipment, not the person. Anyway, just a suggestion. I guess others will weigh in. Happy viewing!
