Shouldn't this hood come in Purple!

sniper training examines this detail, where the object is for a sniper to shoot with both eyes open, not everyone can do that, but it is believed that it can be trained into people

 

Ever seen a combat helicopter pilot geared up? Their helmets carry one or two eyes worth of gear, with the night vision and heads-up stuff going into one side while the other eye used for scanning the instruments and stuff inside the aircraft. A "human factors" guy from Wright Patterson air base, where they push that particular piece of the envelope told me that Army helicopter pilots can do it, or they wash out. It takes about a year to get natural with that distinct a role for the two eyes.

 

Another trick that I have not wanted to try is to deal with the need for reading glasses when you wear contacts for distance vision by changing to one distant contact lens and one near focus contact lens. Tends to mess up your stereo vision, but I know people who have found it perfectly comfortable.

 

Anyway, I can keep my left eye open even with the M2's viewfinder. At least I think I can. Now I'll look more carefully.

I'm also right handed, left eyed. I shoot camera, rifle, and bow and arrow left handed so I can use my left eye. Our son was an all American baseball player in college, and played in the minors. He's also right handed, left eyed, and was a great hitter----he was told being left eyed, right handed was an advantage, as your dominate eye is closer to the pitcher, and can pick up spin, etc better. I also have the nose grease thing---I just wipe it off with my finger or handkerchief. Guy can the red dot cloths be laundered and reused?

I would think they can , have not tried it yet but they are a very soft cloth and actually they do work well on the LCD but are really nice on the lenses which i believe it was designed for. They are not that expensive like 7 dollars each, i have one in each bag and also at my desk. I like them but there are other cloths out there also and even Canon has one .

 

 

Ah here you go the instructions There Microfibre and for lenses and washing instructions say wash it in soap-suds and clear water than air dry and will be as good as new

 

the lens cleaner is perfectly made for cleaning lenses,glasses,microscopes,monitors without using any liquid -all in alll for any delicate surface and without liquid

One thing I hadn't thought of when I got my new glasses. I got them so that they tint when going outside, I usually just get clip ons but decided the auto tint ones would be handier --- not so great for photo work. Luckily I kept my old pair and the prescriptions were almost the same.
