Taran Butler demonstrates the Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC), or 'occluded eye' technique, using a Trijicon AccuPoint scope on a TR-1 Ultralight rifle. This advanced method allows for rapid target engagement at close range by shooting with both eyes open, even with magnified optics. Josh Barnett successfully applies the technique, highlighting the importance of training and versatility in shooting skills.

Quick Summary

The 'occluded eye' advantage, or Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC), is a shooting technique where both eyes remain open when using a magnified optic. This allows the shooter's brain to superimpose the illuminated reticle onto the target, enabling faster and more accurate close-range engagements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'occluded eye' advantage in shooting?

The 'occluded eye' advantage, also known as the Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC), is a shooting technique where you keep both eyes open while using a magnified optic. This allows your brain to superimpose the reticle onto the target, enabling faster and more accurate engagement at close ranges, even if the magnification would normally hinder such shots.

How does the Trijicon AccuPoint scope work without batteries?

The Trijicon AccuPoint uses a dual-illumination system. It features fiber optics that gather ambient light for bright daylight conditions and tritium, a radioactive isotope, for illumination in low-light or complete darkness. This combination ensures the reticle is always visible without needing external power.

Can the Bindon Aiming Concept be used with any magnified scope?

Yes, the Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) can be applied to most magnified rifle scopes, especially those with illuminated reticles. The key is training to keep both eyes open and allowing your brain to align the reticle with the target, effectively overcoming the typical close-range aiming challenges posed by magnification.

What rifle and optic are used in the Taran Tactical video demonstrating the occluded eye technique?

In the video, Taran Butler uses a Trijicon AccuPoint riflescope, specifically highlighting its capabilities for the occluded eye technique. The rifle featured is the Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) TR-1 Ultralight, equipped with a side-mounted RMR for close-quarters aiming.
