Thanks for posting this, I am a few months out from BMOQ and these tutorial videos are very helpful! Also do you have any advice on how to see clearer through the elcan scope on the C7A2 with the non dominant eye? Whenever I look through the elcan with my non dominant eye, it is pure black haha.

If I'm thinking of the right thing, you just have to make sure you get your off hand eye directly in line with the scope.

[@Hankhillbilly]

You are what is called "cross dominant". You can do some research using that term to find a solution that works for you. Definitely wouldn't recommend cross eye shooting for a variety of reasons. You could maybe get away with it on an eotech but any closed optic it won't work. Even if you had the longest neck in NATO, you would completely compromise your shooting stance. It goes against all the fundamentals of shooting. I only know two solutions to cross dominance: 1) learning to shoot off hand (this will come in extra useful anyways when it comes to CQB and barcade shooting) 2) try a couple training methods to make your right eye (in the event of a right handed shooter) stronger. I have seen training methods such as spending time in the optic with an eye patch on your other eye. There is internet lore out there that claims people have been able to train to make their other eye dominant. I'll believe it when I see it, but this doesn't mean you can't train your eye to pick up the site picture properly.

Do you have any advice for left handed shooters? Where should lefties attach a sling?

[@Eugene24820]

Might be wrong but I don't think it ever really matters if you're using right or left hand when attaching a sling. The point of a 2 point sling is that you should be able to carry your rifle, switch and transition so that it's able to slung onto your back when you're not using it, and be able to transition using it with both hands.
