Scully Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 i was thinking about fitting a hi vis one, are they rubbish? Hi-vis?On a 101?Sacrilege!Seriously though,unless you've got eye-dominance problems I wouldn't bother.If you don't have problems then you shouldn't even be aware of the beads when you shoot;your full concentration should be on the target.They may have their uses,but I'm of the opinion that if hi-vis sights improved peoples hit rates,we'd all be using them,but that's just my opinion. You have a very highly rated gun there,as someone else said,I would leave it original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian28 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) If you fitted hi viz the mid bead would not impede the sight picture. Edited May 30, 2012 by brian28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 i was thinking about fitting a hi vis one, are they rubbish? No harm in replacing the front bead, some people find it helps them. I wouldn't bother with the middle bead (I'm assuming it's one of those tiny half-sized ones) as you'll see round it and shouldn't be looking at it when shooting.

WinchesterDave Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 have no bead you mean bud? is that so i stop looking at it when trying to shoot I do tend to try and line up the beads first then shoot its a bad habit iv got to stop , when im shouldering the gun i kinda get two sight pictures one is down the side of the barrels the other along the rib , i have to focus hard or close a eye to block one or the other out , i think its my eyes fighting one another Thats why i fancyed trying one of the hi viz beads I have the same problem with my eyes... But the side of the barrel 'picture' usually disappears when swinging through a pigeon or target if you get me? Like my right eye takes over. Could just be me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdSolomons Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yep I've never used them. Once you know your gun shoots pretty much where you look you shouldn't need them. Go with some decent lessons as a good starting point though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
