Make sure that you have the optic up and scan without looking directly through the scope. Keep both eyes open and focus long. You will be aware of the dot (chevron) floating in your field of view. When your eyes pick up the target, you will be able to see the reticle peripherally and stop on the target, you would break the trigger then on a close engagement. Anything beyond CQB range, once you aligh roughly on the target as described above, your dominant eye then looks through the optic to focus on the target, and it will look like you just "zoomed-in" on it. Once your reticle is aligned, you can engage.

Works for me, every time, and is very fast.

I think I might be one of the ones it doesn't work on.


When I have both eyes open I get a distorted magnified view. The ACOG seems to work best for me when I use it with my non-shooting eye closed.

Thanks for the help Sir.

TR, when you look through an ACOG are you saying that the view is normal until you focus on the target??
