Effect on POI when occluding red dot sights

[markm]

Just did a rough non-firing experiment from the house with an aiming point of a gable end 50 yards across the street. Took aim with the cap closed and my support hand ready to flip it open. Every time I flipped the cap open the dot was actually like 16 inches right of where I wanted it.

I did same experiment. POI is expected 20moa to the right and 20moa low. Workable in short distance. Will help to place the reticle high left.

I probably won't use the technique. Cranking my lpvo down to 1x-2x will do better.

Coincidentally I've been messing with this and getting similar results to what I'm seeing here.

Big relief. I thought my eyes were too far apart.
