Non-dominant. Easier to use optic in conjunction with nods.

We just did this thread a couple months ago and I believe it was overwhelmingly "dominant eye."
Dominant eye is what I've done with a monocular. I want the option of passive aiming and using my IR laser. |

Dominant eye for me. If you have to shoot passive with the monocular over your non-dominant eye, it's a bad time.

I also switched from my non-dominant eye over to my dominant eye. Some of my buddies are able to use Bindon aiming concept on their non-dominant eye to varying degrees of effectiveness but I found I was incurring too much parallax with that method so I switched over to dominant eye passive aiming. If you can't use the Bindon method, run it on your dominant eye to give you more flexibility and options (you can passively aim and use your laser with it vs just using your laser with your non-dominant eye).

Fuck all that noise. New cool is thermal on non dominant and nvg in dominant. Can't shoot your red dot pistol with white non dominant eye....

Dominant usually.
Non-dominant when hunting with a thermal riflescope. |

But if you want the option of passive aiming and IR dominant is the only reliable way. I believe one of the TNVC guys did had a great post about the bindon method a few months ago and why it wasn't ideal. |

Over your dominant eye and slightly forward most find it easier to move/navigate.

I've been doing it Non-dominant so long I didn't know people honestly had issues with this. I have no poa/poi shift shooting via IR or through my m5. Ymmv I guess. |

I think it depends on your setup. I'm pretty new to this but have worn my NV on my non dominate eye from the beginning with the thinking that my dominate eye will be my thermal eye whether its on my eye or rifle. My nox is finally on the way so I'll see how it works out soon.

It's 100% dependant on the situation you are going to be in.
Going dark and staying dark, dominant eye for passive. Going dark and then going to white light upon shooting/entry, nondominant. |

I find it easier to navigate and move over rough terrain with it over my non-dominant eye with the gain turned down and my dominant eye dark adapted (really helps crossing streams on slippery rocks). I do a lot more walking around under NVG than shooting at work (thankfully) and have the dual dovetail mount so it is easily switchable if need be for easier passive aiming but using the Bindon technique is also pretty viable with pistol & rifle (we’re not authorized to use lasers unless on the “Teams”).

I use dominant for the sake of passive aiming.

The best answer in my opinion is that "it depends".
Everyone's brain works differently, they have their gear setup to their preference, and they have different use/missionrequirements. The beauty of the PPVS14 is that it allows you to experiment with your gear and mission to see what works best for YOU. I tend to run it on my non-dominant eye. It works well for me, and I am able to work the red dot onto my aided eye and be accurate to PID/engagement distances. There are pros and cons to both dominant and non-dominant options, and others here have talked through a lot of those. Figure out what works best for you, practice it, and you can be very effective with the PVS14. |

I’ve flip-flopped but ended up back at dominant.

I think there’s a small issue of POI vs POA when doing that and it grows with distance. Or, maybe I’m confused. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think there’s a small issue of POI vs POA when doing that and it grows with distance. Or, maybe I’m confused. That's what I've seen, and the distance isn't that far - 15 to 20 yards and POI was off a full size silhouette. How bad it is, depends on your IPD - but you can test without shooting if you have a viz LAZER that's slaved to your optic aiming point. Do it when you still have enough illum to see the target, put your non-dom "merged" reticle center mass, then fire the viz LASER and look at where it is with your un-aided eye. |

I did non-dominant for many years but switched to dominant around 2018. I now greatly prefer dominant. I also practice shooting looking under the NODs with white light. Do it both ways and figure out what works best for you.

Dominant for me, but a big part of why is the image disparity between my two eyes. I see a lot better out of my dominant eye in general and that translates quite a bit to NVG use and how effective it works for me.

This is where being cross eye dominant comes in handy. 14 over left eye, shoot right handed with red dot with right eye for passive. Everything is where it should be if you need white light in a hurry.
