Something new ?

Address didn't work. This one got me to the site: http://www.redringsight.com/ . I'm kind of interested, but things were a bit slow on the net (on dial-up), so I'll have to read it later. Fred

I don't look at the sights when shooting skeet.

Have a bead, but don't even look at that.

I think many (all) would agree with you that attention has to be on the target. But some sort of cues have to be directing the gun as well or you wouldn't be directing the gun accurately. A few of us had a discussion about this awhile ago when I posted about a workshop I had attended given by Daro Handy. He instructed us to pay attention to the bird, but keep the site present in the background. He also suggested making the site more present if you miss. I've been working on this for awhile now without resolving it and my scores have stayed in the low 20's in trap.
I'm kind of interested in site systems because I use a floating dot on my 870 shooting slugs and 00 buck and think I will probably change to ghost rings or something else. Floating dot scopes are fun and you can see them in low light conditions. But I had one fail when I dropped it up north a few years ago, a situation that gives one that unpleasant, unprepared feeling...

Agree. I have contemplated this myself and for me I believe it is lead time + timing. The bird is in constant focus with both eyes open. I never notice the bead or the barrel, just a blurry barrel + appropriate lead time.

When I am pistol/reloading/shooting as fast as I can, I don't consciously see the red dot. I am a solid believer in....as Bob Munden says "instinctive shooting"

I have no idea how it works, but somehow, even at very fast speeds .....it just does.
