red dots & eye dominance - Page 2

Due to the nature of EoTech's and Holosights, there is no parallax (POI shifting with moving the position of the eye). Red dot scopes do have this effect to a small degree, as the red dot image is virtually projected many feet (typically 25-50) in front of the scope.

The short answer is...Yes.

Ideally you would keep both eyes open looking at the target area with your non dominant eye and through the holographic sight with your dominant eye which will optically "overlay" the illuminated dot on your intended target...while still allowing you to view the entire scene.
I probably didn't explain that too well but, that is the proper way to use a holographic sight system on a rifle.

I think you explained it admirably.
