Thanks for pointing out seat differences.
It’s a step in the right direction.

only
the carrying handle
to hold it.
Never use the shocks as hand holds.
They rip right off. Grip the bodies of
both sights to pull them out of their
bags. Put both hands in front of the
sights to slide them back on the round’s
rails.
Same thing goes for the
eyeguards. They’re only glued
on. If you pull on them or use
them as focus knobs, they come
off. Without eyeguards, the
sights give you a black eye.

Dragon that can’t see is a Dragon that can’t hit a target. That’s why it’s
critical you protect the Dragon’s eyes: its sights.
Most sights are blinded by carrying bags
that have lost their padding. Without pad-
ding, one good bump can crack either
sight’s trigger. Check your unit’s bags for
padding. Support can replace both the
bags’ cushion cover and collar.
Even with the padding, it’s a good idea
to add extra cushioning with sponges or
foam rubber, particularly around the trigger.
Protect the night sight eyeguard when you pack
the tracker by screwing it in as far as possible.
Otherwise, the carrying bag’s insert rubs it off.
Watch your hands when you handle the sights.
Lift the night sight out of its bag straight and slow.
If you jerk it out, you crack the trigger. As soon as
the sight’s out of the bag, take hold of the carrying
