oldypigeonpopper Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Hi Evolution380, What you have said is quite correct. The easyhit on the end of the barrel,being bright is a distraction,no doubt.. This is Different in that it is in your eye line,,closer.. As I have said many times on this thread lol,,it is in the AIR. Two objects travelling on the same LINE & SPEED.. It does not take your attention off the Target,,in fact it makes you Focus more on the Clay.. The only way to get your head thouroghly round this is to buy one or go some where and shoot with one..I BET,You walk away and BUY ONE... GO ON,YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO..lol.. hello, subsonic, me thinks you have shares in a certain chinese company, Confucius said life is simple but we insist on making it complicated, well your posting on here has made many PW members including my self question our own proficiency with a shotgun, and i have shot over 50 years and still not that good as i would like to be, now its a matter of eye sight, as my last O/U purchased fits better than any that i have used in the past, that said if any shooter thinks this gadget can help then i am all for this and good luck , as for buying, i have my old AL 48 i cant hit a barn door with, so maybe maybe Edited August 31, 2017 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impala59 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) For what its worth, and just to try it anyway, I had a broken LED (Chinese) sight given to me. the electronics are glued and not serviceable so I junked them and glued a bit of 2mm light gathering green rod in their place. With a little over 1.5" sticking out the back to collect the light, it seems to function perfectly, albeit with quite a large dot (more like a hazy ring really) In sunlight its easily bright enough and as its free what's not to like? These Chinese units are weak in the electronics, switches, battery holders and glazing fix so have eliminated 1,2 and 3 and a couple of drops of clear adhesive in the corners secures the collimator lens. (the RAMBO needs that too! don't lose your glazing after the first shot!) The cast aluminium is actually quite decent. Using this old sight to create a passive one also has the benefit of retaining the elevation and windage screws together with their respective lock screws. I will look for some finer acrylic rod so as to reduce the dot size and also a finer rod may well be bendable out of the line of sight (for now I have blacked the rear end so it does not light up) Alternatively I will look at masking in some way to reduce the visible dot. If you have a broken one of these It can become passive In ambient light indoors Edited August 31, 2017 by impala59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.w. Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I must admit to being extremely surprised by the interest in these things. I also was surprised until a guest shooter turned up with one, whilst I'd see him shoot pigeons with us previously I must say he was below average well poor really, anyhow enter his new sight well he turned out to be the best shot on the day by a running mile, I don't use one myself but was well impressed.

ips Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I am still struggling with why not just have a big red bead on yer barell and the fact that any kind of visible sight goes against the usual mantra of look at the target not the bead, barrell.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I am still struggling with why not just have a big red bead on yer barell and the fact that any kind of visible sight goes against the usual mantra of look at the target not the bead, barrell. But you are looking at the target through the site. The advantage of no paralax is the game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper682 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Still struggling to see why everyone thinks this is banned for reg shoots. It doesn't magnify. Nor does it emit light. It does not give forward lead displacement. It doesn't visually enhance the target. These are the only things which are banned in a device by the cpsa. I wait to be enlightened. Jasper.

Mr.C Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I may have to find somewhere local with autotraps as if I turn up with one of these on top of my impact I'll never here the last of it. Then someone will spot Rambo written on the side. 😀 I would have to straight every stand and then I'd be accused of cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then someone will spot Rambo written on the side. I would have to straight every stand and then I'd be accused of cheating. As Long as I Can shoot Practice with one,No Problem.. First Time shooters Can Now Have a Ready Made Reference in the Air.. Should be Reasonably Constant shooters Within 10/25 clays.. The Idea of Lead etc,will be implanted,No More Months of Frustration.. If Shooters wish to Shoot Competition,Take it off.. Your Friend in the Sky will no longer Be There,,But Hopefully Memory Will Kick in.

wokkywokky Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Cheers. I don't get involved in competition clay shooting but if any of you guys do it may be interesting to see if the device is questioned for comp use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
