Is this one of these vets who lost his master eye during warfare and had to adapt?
that same system has been used here in Australia for target rifle shooting.
right goes weak or left eye dominant, usually the rifles here have the front sight set to the left as well.

Weapons used also affect scored needed.
jeez,
they don't allow too much latitude for being old do they!!!
Interesting that they do though, here you just get relegated too a lower grade and told too suck it up old man!!!

Great, this 85 years old guy is aiming with his left eye for the reason that he always did it so. He won this competition for 74 times. Great shooter.

I'm sure they meant made the required points, not won the entire competition.
Here a breakdown from 2000. the numbers on the top of the columns are year of birth.

I would say he is a right handed left-eye dominant shooter............but I have been wrong before.
I see now that someone has posted a similar opinion! It's been a while since I've been on here and the newlook/format has me a little dazed and confused.

Is the front sight offset as well?
It has to be. Look at the picture with three versions of the diopter sights, set at left.
Interesting. I am a right hand shooter that is Left eye dominate. When I was a little kid I would try to cross over shoot. Dad cured me of that. I still shoot pistol with my left eye. And archery is a wild joke. Wing shooting is done with my left eye closed (yes I loose the depth perception but I have adapted) I can shoot equally as well right or left handed being steadier shooting right (mostly due to practice I think) and then I have a slightly clearer sight line shooting left. At the local range on sight in weekends when they have the running deer target I used amuse the crowd by taking my dads Savage 110DL custom 30-06 (left hand barrled action in a perfectly straight grained ***en walnut stock with fully glass bedded action and barrel channel) and my Ruger M77R in 30-06 and shooting one after the other scoring kill hits with both.
I had never seen these types of offset sights before pretty cool
