As I have been discussing I shot the Purdey pigeon gun Saturday at some wobble trap. Now the previous owner had made some modifications to the gun to make it more of a competition gun. Made the safety a non automatic safe but he also removed the center and front bead from the barrel.
When I was shooting it I immediately noticed that I was not aiming the gun using the front bead but was focusing entirely on the target.
It was an eye opening experience to say the least.
Being right handed and left eye dominate I usually focus my right eye on the front bead to track and shoot the target. But with no sight bead to focus on I was looking totaly at the target.
It was something I have never experienced as all my previous guns have the front bead.
Has others used a gun with out a bead?
