Suffolkngood Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 How can you test eye dominance? If right handed put your arm out in front of you and point at something. Then close your left eye and if you're still pointing exactly where you wanted then your right eye is the dominant one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Mick.j - I did answer your question, you just seem to be a little hard of thinking. As for it being beneath me to answer you - it is beneath me to repeatedly answer your snide remarks. Have you been to every clay ground in the country to conduct your little survey? Are you seriously suggesting that of the ten of thousands sold, most have been removed? Look up parochial - sums you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously suggesting that of the ten of thousands sold, most have been removed? Look up parochial - sums you up. Gordon. Pray tell which questions you have actually answered of mine? Why do you need one - Thats a fare enough question as it would have given the op some insight of why YOU use one and how it transformed your shooting, if it did. (as you have had them on your last 12 guns) you must have vast experience of using them. But no reply. Other people have given there reasons for using one or not as the case may be. As for a survey - well you say they have sold 'tens of thousands' is that a fact or your 'generalisation of the amount' well where are they then if there all fitted to guns. You can visit whatever ground/club you like and you will see very few compared to those who do not use/have them. Narrow minded - Give me strength. You have no idea who i am. I will not stoop that low to call you anything as its a forum for debate NOT insults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Mick.j - as for stooping low - A piece of **** You are already there with your language of the gutter. If you had any knowledge of the gun trade, your opinion might count for something. I personally knew the late Graham Stephens - importer of Ruby Sights, which are identical to Easyhit. I know his son, who still does. I know how many have been sold - you don't. Perhaps you could list the grounds which don't have them. I'm sure it will number hundreds. Then again - perhaps not. As for answering your questions - I stated my reason for rating them - you chose not to read it. One day you will leave school and grow up.

So defending someone you know, is your excuse for insulting me and any views i may have on them. You could say a vested interest really then. Quite frankly i could not care less. You still result to insults though don't you - just like a school bully who cannot get his way. OR perhaps like a victorian headmaster who will not have anything said against himself or anything he does or says. Perhaps your the one who should grow up and except others have different views than your own. You still do not answer any questions i put to you, which says a lot about you really. The poor OP wanted views for and against the said item - at least i have given mine. you have neither said why you bought one or the difference it made to YOUR shooting, which would have been beneficial to him. I hope you have a good bank holiday and shoot really well with your fitted sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 You still result to insults That should be "resort" - free English lesson. The comment about defending someone you know is truly pathetic. Graham was a very good friend, good clay pigeon shot and a top man. He died a couple of years ago from cancer. To insult his memory is about as low as most people could go - but not you. If you can read - the stats for Ruby Sights are on Ebay - just the ones sold via that site. Many more have been sold off-site. Your initial view wasn't in the least bit helpful and later you try to justify your stance by your very limited experience. You need to re-read what I said about the sights. The answer to your repeated questions is there in black and white - you just aren't bright enough to comprehend. I won't get dragged into a further debate with you, as it is beneath me - you are correct in that. Feel free to have the last word if it makes you feel better, but you have still made sweeping generalisations with nothing, but nothing to back it up. Very limited. :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I have owned guns with white, red and brass beads on but can't say I've ever been aware of them while shooting. 100% of a shooters attention should be on the bird, you may be aware of your barrels peripherally but you shouldn't be aware of any bead. In my opinion, if you're aware of the bead then your gun doesn't fit or you're aiming, but then I've never owned a easy hit bead so I may be wrong. 100% agree on this. I knew an exceptionally good shot - and he didn't notice when the bead fell off his gun and continued to shoot every bit as well with no bead. He only looked at the target and the gun shot where he looked. The bead was replaced, but only because there was a hole that would have allowed water under the rib if not either replaced or the hole filled. I have to admit to having tried one of these red blob in a perspex tube things some years ago - don't know the brand, but a better recipe for making one concentrate on the gun, not the target would be hard to find! A bad experiment (for me anyway) and all part of learning from one's mistakes. All of my guns now have whatever bead they came with (usually a small nickel plated brass thing) - and I doubt I'd notice if it fell off until cleaning time. If your gun fits, the target is all you need to concentrate on - and if your gun doesn't fit, the only real remedy is to get it fitted.

Gordon R Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 John - that is what I use the sights for - gun fit. They are very good for checking whether your head is in the right place. The same goes for brass, Easyhit or white sights. Once you have established gun fit, any sight should be surplus to requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wilksy Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I took my red tube one off yesterday and can't say it made me shoot any better or worse, brass one in the post like said above to fill in the hole, but I think it's worth tinkering and if it works for whatever reason, FairPlay!

The same goes for brass, Easyhit or white sights. Once you have established gun fit, any sight should be surplus to requirements. I can see the logic there, but once the gun is to the right dimensions, it shouldn't be needed. The idea that one has to fit oneself to a badly fitted gun on a shot by shot basis doesn't work (for me, or I think anyone). If I shoot someone else's gun that doesn't fit me well, I can 'manage' to align my eye to the gun, but it slows me down and spoils the natural gun mount. The reason I fitted a 'red blob and perspex' one was that I'm right handed with a left master eye, and I thought it would assist the right eye ..... but although it did assist the right eye, it did so in quite the wrong way! I now just blink the left eye as I shoot, and whilst I won't be winning any prizes, it works pretty well for me like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 John - with the Easyhit type of sight, you can only see it properly with your head in the correct position. I found it useful to practice mounting the gun so that I could see the sight properly. I got a consistent gun mount. That, to me, is their value. When shooting, I put the gun up knowing it was in the right place. I have never noticed a gun sight - Easyhit, white or brass - since I started shooting.

Thanks for the English lesson - it was early in the morning and i was in a bit of a hurry, it happens sometimes. (I bet that made you feel good seeing my mistake) Quite ironic that you go to the trouble of telling people about the sight after all the insults towards me, after i have asked you to do the very same. I have never called you, or anyone you know any names or slated them personally As for your remark about me insulting your dead friend, well, that was quite remarkable in itself. You seem to make things up as you go along. Anyway i hope you have enjoyed yourself by trying to make yourself feel 'BIG' by berating someone you have no knowledge of. As for the last word - well unlike you, it will not be a nasty insult or a personnel attack on yourself. As much as i would like to - i just find your not worth insulting.

Gordon R Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Mick.j - forget the "early in the morning" - your posts are littered with errors - let alone anything to do with logic. As for explaining to others - my post contained the explanation, but you were just too dim to see it. You made a nasty inference that I supported Easyhit out of friendship. Again - just too dim to realise that Graham did not sell Easyhit Sights. I do not feel "BIG" or berate you. I actually feel sorry for you. That will be my last word.

Thanks for highlighting it Fred I hadn't thought about it really but as with so many posts it makes you think and question your own set up which I think can only be a good thing!

Fredwalton Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just been at the clays shot terribly. Can't decide if the easy hit made any difference as I actually seemed to shoot better with both eyes open! I feel a lesson or 2 are needed!

Fredwalton Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I think this would be sensible if I want to improve my shooting. As I use the gun more I seem to get worse maybe I should my side by side from now on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help you there I'm afraid, but the saving you will make on frustration and lost time alone throwing lead at everything but the target will be well worth it.
