you don't need a red dot to shot ducks

 

My personal experience with them is, you don't need one to shoot ducks.

I hate you night owls. I wanted to be the first one to say that…. #butthurt

 

I've been guiding for what seems like ever and finally saw what appeared a Red Dot type sight come through the blind this season. And despite plenty of opportunity, the poor soul using it dang sure couldn't shot a duck.

 

Seriously though, laser is the only way to go to shot more ducks. :thumbsup:

 

You'll shot more ducks without it.

 

I never aim when I shoot. I just point, lead and pull. Go ahead and try it though. What's to lose? except a few birds

Shoot to shot....as in the OP

 

Reel Teal's powers of observation are shoot.

I put one on my sbe2 it goes great with my DD barrel sticker. I also only hunt when it's 70 degrees so my vagina doesn't get cold.

 

Didnt the flyway highway guys sell the red dot sight??

You'll shot your eye out.

I realize most of you guys are just screwing with this guy but how is that big fiber optic any better than a red dot? Both imply your going to aim vs point

Couple great guys who'd hunted with me and seen my battered, '90s vintage little Montefeltro 20 blessed me with a new one I initially couldn't hit pecans with, despite printing essentially the same when tested. Can't help but think the difference is that the front optical beads have been long gone from both my old 20 and the equally aged SBE I use for geese, and the one on the new 20 presents more distraction than aid to my shooting.

And I'm inclined to think that the case for many fooling with even more prominent beads. If the gun fits as it should, one's focus should be downrange. YMMV.

Agree with that. I don't like fiber optics, red dots, etc. If you aren't hitting ducks, I think you are over analyzing the shot and focusing too much on your sights. Spend more time and the clay range and work on maintaining consistent cheek placement and watching down range at the bird vice the sight.

I agree. They're not for everybody and it comes down to how good of a shot you are. But I'm looking at an experience I had with my old Mossberg. Had a gray bead at the end. Once I stuck this red and yellow fiber optic sight on, I felt like I took better shots at ducks. It could be my somewhat poor eyesight as well and having a glowing bead helped out. My new M3500 has a more dull red optic sight, and I like it.

 

Pointing a shotgun, not aiming. The guys that start out in rifles, have a harder time transitioning over to shotguns.
