Summary:An attachment device that shifts the exit pupil position of a telescopic gun sight is introduced. The attachment includes a refracting wedge prism to tilt the viewing axis of the telescopic sight. This, in turn, shifts the position of the exit pupil of the telescopic sight and makes it possible to view the target image from an eye position offset from the sight's optical axis. The invention provides improved ergonomics for the shooter.
