HDAV Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Cosd: That wasn't an attack, just comes across like that because of the way I bash the keyboard Lets see what some of the more experienced guys say about this, but that's how I see it..... No problem, didn't see it that way at all, sorry - I may be a bit clumsy in phrasing today . Like you, I have heard so many opinions on this, don't think there will be anything definitive, I've seen people make some great shots both with and without a centre bead :blink: "All rather confusing really", as the Great Spike Milligan used to say..... Centre bead is lower than the front bead so it is designed to form an 8.............On a Browning at least if you have a single bead it should sit with the end bead the mid bead is designed to help you line the 2 up and be straight (that the theory... if you have a good gun mount you shouldnt need a bead or a rib!)

station Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I tried one, great if you wanna watch the end of the gun and not the target! Have a go at watching your hand when catching a ball or the bonnet of you car whilst driving! Forget the bead, watch the target & hand eye coordination should take care of the rest.. Hopefully lol. Just my opinion, but we are all different and they obviously work really well for some as a lot of people rate them very highly. Definatly worth a go for the money it may be perfect for you. Totally agree - I bought one and it did not work for me, but we are all different. For £20 it's worth a go and you can always sell on or give to a mate.

Al69ec Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Sorry to go off topic abit but my gun only has a front bead. No middle or rear, is there a reason for it only having one? It doesn't look like its ever had another centre or rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Sorry to go off topic abit but my gun only has a front bead. No middle or rear, is there a reason for it only having one? It doesn't look like its ever had another centre or rear. Many, maybe even most guns only have one bead at the front, it's quite common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I didnt get on too well with mine but I think its a matter of perseverence, I might try it again soon. Dont let the bright green light distact you from the bird, clay etc. This was an issue for me, I ended up looking at the sight and not the target. Took it off and never refitted it. Oh, and as said it doesn't work at dusk or later on the marsh, not enough light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
