In a separate thread I’ve been asking about shooting with a pistol ir laser and getting advise that it’s easier with a RMR or pistol ir laser with monocular over your dominant eye. Currently I’m using a PVS14 on a Rhino II over my non dominant left eye. How does every one else handle this with their setups? |

I use both sides. Walking around, normal tasks or shooting a precision rifle (clip on or thermal) while under NODs it will go on the left eye. If I am shooting a pistol or AR with a red dot I will swap it to my right eye.
I use a Wilcox j-arm so its easy to swap sides. |

Over my dominant eye so I can look through my aimpoint.

Dominant eye (right).
I can aim down the Eotech just fine for passive aiming. Movement is more natural for me. If I had to worry about white light threats that didn’t give me time to flip the tube up I would use non-dominant. |

Non dominate eye. Everything is lit up with a laser. It really makes shooting things in the dark easier.

I want to try one of those Wilcox J Arms. My USGI J arm is wore out. To the point where it doesn't even stay fully tight half the time. Jump over a log or something and it falls down one position on the j arm pivot point. |

If you're shooting a RMR or RDS set to NV mode and the lights come on with your 14 over your dominant eye you'll still be able to see your dot through your PVS14. I run my 14 slightly forward so If my 14 turns off due to the lighting environment changes I can simply tilt my head up to see under my 14 and sight through the RDS window even if no dot is visible you can use the the tube like a big ass ghost ring to aim .

Always dominant unless doing something unusual.

I've always used mine over dominant whether shooting or just walking/scanning. It just makes sense to put the magic tube over the eye that your brain gives preference to. I have shot in the dark with my 14 on my dom eye and simply turned my head to utilize my left( non-dom) eye and with white light, handheld and WML, drew and fired my dept issued G22 without a huge increase in split times. I wouldn't try to clear a building this way, but for a brief surprise engagement it's doable.

left/dominate eye, shoot right hand with the laser or just look through the 740

Do it! It was what the j-arm should have been. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The answer is both.
Traditionally it was worn over the non-dominant eye when used in conjunction with a LAM on a rifle However with the proliferation of NV compatible pistol and rifle optics wearing it over the dominant eye for "through the tube" shooting is really the best way to wear a -14. Having a mount/adapter arm that'll quickly swivel between both eyes greatly aids this. |

I just finished walking around with it switched over to my dominant eye right side. It was definitely more intuitive navigating around my backyard. I couldn’t see any better but I noticed my pace was a bit quicker than with my left. I’m still relatively new to nods so I tend to take it slow when out and about. I’ll have to try it with my rifle LAM to see if points differently. Thanks for the insights.
