My eyes are slightly crossed, enough so that I lack stereoscopic vision.  This affects me in that I have poor depth perception, I cannot use 3-D glasses effectively, I cannot use both sides of a pair of binoculars simultaneously.

Wouldn't this make disqualify me for any benefit of BAC?

Most likely, yes.  Sorry.

I have slight difficulty odoing binocs with both eyes open but I am getting better as I go along.  I can however "ghost" things very easily, and have been doing that since I was 5-6 years old.  I can do it pretty good with red dots, and noticed today when I was slurping a not-so-triple-thick shake, I could easily seen down the road with nothing lost, just ghosting the cup.

I have only had about 500 rounds experience with an ACOG, but that was before I new about BAC.  Or maybe I used it and never knew it.  It has been a few months.  Next time I shoot one, I might do a BAC report.

Yeah, it sounds like your vision is too poor to use BAC effectively.  When I say poor, I mean the part about depth perception and using 2 eyes at once.  But I would still try it.

Chuck, look up Gun Gallery on Beach Blvd. There's several BAC ACOGs there mounted to display rifles, you can check them out and see if it works for you or not. Come in the day, ask for Neil.
