I have fired rifles with scopes on them and I didn't have my eye on the scope itself. It was set up so that I could look through it and see most effectively with my eye 2-3 inches behind the scope. I was able to fire the rifle without moving my head before firing. It worked better when I was able to keep my eye on the target as far into the motion of my trigger finger as possible until I probably flinched reflexively. Just my two cents.
Isn't that what proper eye relief is for? And I can't imagine a professional sniper making that much of a "jerking" motion prior to a shot. Taking eyes off target before shooting seems to go against all weapons training been a part of.
Snipers remove eye from scope to prevent recoil eye injury. Your 100% on target.

Absolutely. 100%.
Think of a camera with a shutter ' bulb' . Your 'tool' is locked in mechanically without your 'help'.
ty, fren
No professional will shoot like that
