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.

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 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?
So I can't spell, so what!!!

Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
It has to be. Look at the picture with three versions of the diopter sights, set at left.
