Salop Matt Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I know that after time you shouldnt even notice the bead and should shoot where you point so to speak. But what colour beas do you guys have and do any of you have 2 beads on the rib and if so how do you get on with them ? Am thinking of getting a pair on my silver pigeon as i currently only have the single standard metal one that it came with ! Twice now iv shot a clay gun with 2 beads and both times iv got on well with them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it can help ensure you keep your head down as when setting up you only see 1 bead. That said suspect it is all down to personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 This is quite interesting as I couldn't tell you without looking what colour the bead is on my F3, however I also have an extrema which I have never shot that well with. This only had a brass bead fitted. About a year ago I was shooting with a guy who had a Urika or teknys (I can't remember which) and I shot twos stands with it. I straighted those towo stands with relative ease. The only difference that I could notice was his Semi auto had a large orange bead. I bought one for my Extrema and have shot better with it from that day on. It is something I cannot explain or really understand as I don't see or take notice of the bead at all when shooting. It must work in the sub conscious part of your brain or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 A took my bead off for ages, I put it back on recently for some reason. Makes no difference. Certainly wouldn't have two of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this thing also, i thought it was a small brass one but its white one... shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon Paul Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Personally I have experimented with 2 and different coloured beads. Now gone back to standard little beretta silver ball. Like most things, give it a go and see how you get on. At the end of the day it is usually all down to personnal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
