On one of the courses at the two-gun match we had to put on glasses that had our strong side eye blacked out. This was to simulate getting drywall dust or something in our eye from a round hitting near us in a house.
Then we had to shoot from our starting seated position at guys on either side of us and get up, retrieve our rifle and walk down a hall to engage a few more guys around a corner.
If you have never covered your strong side eye and shot from your weak side (especially with your rifle) this is quite the interesting experience. I had never thought to practice an off hand mag change before. The RSO said I did a damn good job of it, but I could have done much better if I had thought to practice this aforehand.
This is an easy way to throw a little stress into your practice, and I enjoyed the heck out of it. All you need is a pair of cheap safety glasses- just sandpaper your strong side lens and put them on- viola- $7 training tool.
Also, I sure am glad I have "flip up/flip to side" stuff. My batteries died on a course and my rig sure is good for transitioning between magnified optics and BUIS. Bet I will never forget to change batteries before a match again, though!
