    I remember something like that. It was like a butler creek cover for the eyepiece and had yellow pointers supposedly to center your eye on the scope. I seem to recall a bit of a debate amongst the local HFT crowd as to the legality of them. Oh how us normal folk laughed........

    Accuview keeps springing to mind but I cant quite remember.

    Edit: Thanks Wil95k, I would have spent all night wondering about that....

    From what I remember they were not allowed in HFT. Part of the hype / advertising blurb was that the military were using them. Could be about 12 years ago?

    They are good and they are out there.. They make your brain automatically centre your eye with the scope to minimize parralex error, and the just seem to help bring the gun up to your eye faster... not that I've ever needed that 😂

    Maybe that is why you hear very little about them now.

    Thinking more about them, I have dim recollections that I might have met the inventor or distributor at a Shooting show or game fair??

    Do they really do anything? Always struck me as a gimmick.

    Their was a clip in version that was available at
    One of the Weston park gamefairs.Brief discussions
    Were held with an airgun magazine for a free cover giveaway but there wasn't enough money to make it
    Viable so it didn't happen.That device was tested
    At Brecon sniper training centre.

    Yes, once you line up the arrows with your crosshairs, that's it set.
    When you look through and your eye is not dead centre, you can instantly see that the edges of the crosshairs and the arrows don't like up.
    There's also a kind of peep sight effect, meaning that you naturally centre the target.
