[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1665527, member: 6145"] You may not want to heat this, but a shotgun is not made to be 'aimed'. We have a state champion in skeet, trap, and sporting clays, teaching here in tulsa, and for new shooters he takes the bead off of the shotgun. Very simply, if you are looking at the bead, then you are not looking at the target, and when you shift your eyes back to the bead, then bird, then bead, then bird, then bead, the bird has traveled several feet (if you take your eyes off of a target for a second and focus on the bead, that bird may have moved, 3, 6, 9, 12 feet and if you are not staring at it, you will shoot behind it. Your brain will direct you to shoot where you last saw the target and that is behind it) and can be getting out of range. also, people tend to look at the bead as a check right before they shoot, which pulls our eyes off the target and our eyes/gun quits swinging with the target and we shoot behind it. If your guns fits you, it will shoot where you are looking. In shotgunning, you never do a hard focus on the bead, you see the barrel in your secondary vision while you STARE at the target. You never do bead, target, bead, target, etc as you do with a rifle and a still target. It takes a while for us to have confidence to never check the gun's bead but stare only at the target 'as it is moving' but i guarantee you if you learn to do this your shooting will improve. The worst thing a shotgunner can have on the front of the gun is this 'big', bright' green or red fiber optic bead or tube that will pull your eye off of your target and focus on this bright object instead of a moving target. Again, you might not want to hear this, but the best money spent on shotgunning, if to find a qualified instructor who is also a proven shot, and pay him to teach you hot to shoot a shotgun. I say this not because I am a instructor, but because i have paid the money for a qualified instructor and it made all the difference in the world. Guys that started with pistol or rifle where sights are all important, and then went to shotgunning usually have a real hard time hitting targets because it is drilled into them to use the sights.
