    I drilled a hole through a camouflage cap and using a nylon bolt, washer, and nut attached the Flip Camcorder to it. This is how the video turned out. Definately not professional, but I think it'd be ok for home videos.

    The biggest issue was adjusting the bill of the cap to point where I was looking.
    Another issue was after sitting with that on my head for 2 1/2 hours, I started to get a headache.
    I used camouflage tape (the camcorder comes in white) on the camera and it covered the microphone holes. I have some sharpees in camo colors I will paint the camera with for future use.

    Plus side:
    small and portable
    push two buttons right on your head and you're recording what you're seeing.
    So easy even a caveman could do it.

    Have you checked to see how it lines up when you take a shot? I'd think your taget would be off to the left side of the screen.

    Actually, I'm left handed so the target is off to the right when I shoot, but at 20 yards still in frame.
