Guest Mick.j Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 The thing is - you should be looking at the target/bird NOT a ruddy great luminous bead on the end off the barrel/s. It takes your eye (well they do mine) A simple white or brass bead is all thats needed just so its in your peripheral vision. I don't see GD using one!!!!!!!!! Is that a bit clearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 But he's quite correct, they are a gimmick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Some people like them, some don't. They do help with gun fit. I would worry about anyone who said the opposite. When I am shooting, I just don't notice it. I have had them on about my last 12 guns. Ironically, some people dismiss these whilst extolling the virtues of snap caps. You couldn't make it up.

Squirrel73 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I had one on a beretta 303 when I bought it and quickly changed it for a small brass bead instead because I found it way too big and a distraction. I would call it an easy miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesj Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I found that they help with gun mount as the bead is darker if its not right in front of your eye, but a better fitting gun helped more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Hiya can I ask were you got your small brass bead from cos I fancy doing the same, cheers! You should be able to buy them from any gunsmith. Just checked Ebay. Plenty on there. Edited April 30, 2015 by motty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hiya can I ask were you got your small brass bead from cos I fancy doing the same, cheers! I would suggest you call into the Gunsmiths in the Square in Beverley, they usually have an assortment of sight beads and will usually fit them too.

Squirrel73 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I got my small brass bead for £5 fitted at my local gunshop. I guess they'll be easy to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If it makes you feel you shoot better then it's money well spent. No different to people constantly changing chokes or using different cartridges in each barrel etc. Each to their own. If it helps then it's done its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 If 'easy hit' beads lived up to their names we'd all be using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 By the same token - if brass beads worked - everyone would have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolkngood Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Same with ported, extended chokes, adjustable combs and butt pads, twin beads, ported barrels, 32 inch barrels etc etc. It's not what you've got......it's what you think you can do with it. Isn't that right lads? Well that's what I keep telling my missus anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I recently bought a miruko 20 bore with one of these sights on it . I asked the RFD who I bought the gun from to take it off and put a single bead on the gun ,which he did . He then said I don't know why people put these on a gun ,they would be better to invest in a couple lessons with a good coach .

Scully Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 By the same token - if brass beads worked - everyone would have one. Exactly. Oh, hold on, I have one. Seems to work ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredwalton Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I had a bead half way down as well as at the end which I didn't like, so when I took this off to fit the easy hit I found it easier to see with just the single bead at the end. The easy fit I have can easily be taken off while I'm shooting so I will have a go with it on and off and see what I feel is best, as people have said I guess it's personal preference in the end. But thanks for your thoughts so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
