I wouldn't call this a poll but I am canvassing opinions from other people on MNVG use.
I am right handed and hence did all of my basic training and other courses firing right handed (joys of the FN). Early nineties I was introduced to the concept that I was left eye dominant and discovered that it worked somewhat to my benefit with respect to pistol shooting and firing the C7 left handed.
This left eye dominance had a bit of a down side with the use of the MNVG. I found that the default setting is to have it on your left eye. This was fine until those times during a patrol or whatever that I flipped the MNVGs up and elicited the comments on â Å“who's the drunk guy?â ? The solution to this problem was to adjust the mount so that I worn the MNVG over my right eye. Then if I flipped it up my dominant left eye did not have to re-adjust to the dark and I could actually tell what I was doing.
What I was wondering, as I have never been on an op/deployment with MNVGs, is how this effects the firing of all the wonderful new C7A2, C8A1/2, C9A whatever in theatre?
Is there a negative impact to having the MNVG on the same side that you are firing the weapon?
What is the preferred set-up or is it all personal preference?
(I imagine it is as shooting has to be natural (ie the four principles of marksmanship) but throw this out for general consumption)
