Some of those sights for mounting the gun on the right but shooting with the left eye (or vice versa) are very much like the system devised by Dave Fjelline after his eye accident a few years ago. Anyone who has seen him shoot since would certainly not believe he had a handicap...

I know a fellow who mounted a one inch diameter tube on the left side of his shotgun as his right eye went bad. He shoots sporting clays and does quite well. Do what works!
Happy New Year to all, even those who think I am a dumb Colonial!

The wood block looks like a trap shooting and or sighting device.
The eye would site through a different notch at each station.
Out there doing it best I can.

CZ, think about a right handed shooter trying to line up with the right side notch in that block. It would not be easy.
I don't know what those notches are for, but my guess is that this is a prototype from a failed experiment.

What can I say?
When they teach trap shooting they divide the trap house into 5 sections.
You line your eye and barrel up over each spot.
5 slots on that bridge seems obvious to me.
Out there doing it best I can.

That kind of had the look like trap shooting to me also. I think the wood block would have been asymetrical if it were for a one eyed, cross eyed shooting.
Maybe, if there's no finish color difference under the wood or rub marks where the leather would have cinched down, it might not have been on the gun much. Just on appearances, the outer notches don't look like the comb of a stock would be much use. But, maybe the thought was built in lead and high impact point for spot shooting if someone could get it all sorted out quick enough when the bird shows?
