Yeah. Or, of course, if you have a (digital or otherwise) imaging scope you
can project it on its display. But with old-style iron sights it gets a bit
difficult. Maybe below the frontmost sight (still lousy at english
gun-anatomy) (I'm thinking about assault rifles, here) then you wouldn't
have to move the eye all that much? I'm assuming we are shooting from the
shoulder, of course. Hip-shots are only good for those with smartguns or
those with targets within ten meters, anyway.

BTW what part of the gun is called 'reciever' ? :)
