welshwarrior Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I know various instructors in varied fields that are accredited to their organizations and it's the same everywhere, do it like this or you don't get the fancy letters. I don't do some things I was taught at collage because I've found a way to do them that suits me better. Most organisations are pretty much set in their ways and have been for many years, I suppose it works for them. If something works why not give it a try. Only thing that governs us in APSI is hitting birds and clients learning same thing as the MD also asks of us funnily enough. Only tend to use straws on the Young Gun days and their more for the cans of pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 If in doubt - read Hamster's post. Yes because shotguns are not supposed to be shot like rifles. Manufacturers put a mid bead on for a reason. Well, "8" of them to be exact... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Thanks again for posting. I shoot SbS a lot and for obvious reasons the following fault is, again, obvious, and easily corrected. Not so with a OU. I hadn't noticed but the new Chapuis was canted anti-clockwise and I was missing accordingly. A slight change in right hand grip and all is now well.

figgy Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) The gun only fits if throws the shot pattern where your looking regardless of what you see down your rib. That alignment trick works to a point for self checking like mounting into a mirror for eye rib alignmento Edited September 2, 2017 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Agree with Figgy. Always removed the centre bead from any gun I have ever owned. The straw or Easyhit type sights are useful for checking the gun fit when dry mounting. Once shooting live, I have never seen the gun sight.

manthing Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I suppose it comes down to lots of practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 well you could put a piece of bluetack under the straw to fit your sight picture I suppose, the idea is similar to the £15 'red dot' we're discussing in the other topic, it just forces you to set your head properly on the stock... +1 and can't do any harm, if you are looking down the barrel with fairly good head/eyes alignment, then regardless of whether or not you see the bead, you will be looking where the gun is pointing so hopefully when the target presents, you will hit what you are looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Even if I had a length of 75mm drain pipe attached to the rib I would not see the bead. I never do. I never see the barrels either. There must be something wrong with my gun mounting and shooting. It's probably too late to change now. you must have left the barrells in your motor case dear boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
