FIBER OPTIC BEADS ON SHOTGUN'S.

[miroku moocher 140]

whats your opinion on them? think i might take mine off, just draws my eye's

straight to it.

I like them. I find the one on my beretta so bright that you end up not looking for it. That said the plain brass one on my Hilton is no hindrance- maybe as I've become more experienced with shotguns the bead has become less of an issue altogether.

Next time I get chance I'll have a go with gun without a bead.

If your talking about this one

I think its main use is for correcting your eye dominance,it should only attract the eye which is looking down the rib of your shot gun,heres a link to have a look at it will explain it better......

i personally thought they were brill when i started shooting because i shoot off the right shoulder but i'm left eye dominant so it helped me loads.

 

If your talking about another sort then ignore the above :laugh: .pipcock

 

ps,also good in low light ,duck shooting etc

Yeh I've not got fibre optic but I've got a mid rib bead which makes me want to line the two up and shoot like a rifle.

 

I was always tought to not look at the barrel of the gun but to look at the target.

pip it is the same as you mention. i'm right handed but shoot off the left shoulder. left eye dominant.

i shoot clays well enough wit the bead .but feather . lol well hit and miss . and that little red bead just calls out to me' OI LOOK AT ME ''. think it's gonna have to go. cheers for your input guys..

Try sticking a bit of black tape over it and see how you get on.

no worries moocher,as long as the gun fits ok using it left handed and the dominant eye is looking down the rib you should be ok ,you dont need the bead ,and shooting game etc can be totally different to shooting clays,i know a lot of decent clay shooters that cant hit birds .... pipcock

 

ps....good idea moonlighter ,block the light out and see if theres a difference....

cheers guys. moonlighter. i'l give it a try. pip i do hit birds ''just not as many as i'd like. lol.
