Yes you got it!
Few weeks ago I dropped my shotgun, broke the bead off the front. Took me a week but I believe I'm at least back to where I was before the bead if not even more assured of my sight picture. As the round goes on I have a tendency to bury my check into the comb and with the lower sight picture the bead would hide the clay on some shots. Would seem I'm in the no bead crowd.
Question, with so much debate why would a Browning 725 pro Trap sport a green fibre front bead? Do they come with a replaceable plain white or ivory insert?

All of my 725s, and most of my Citori target guns came with a selection of inserts, I always switched to the small while bead.
Thank you. My CX had, past tense, a Bradley style bead. Nothing to change there.
The CX is marketed as a lower cost target shotgun, so it doesn't offer the extra options.
No beads on my sporting clays gun. It seemed to invite barrel checking on those far away, long crossers rather than pulling the trigger when it looked/felt right.
If you guys want to try something for fun. Next time your on the skeet field, mount the gun, head on the stock get ready to call for the target, then take your head right off the stock and keep it upright. Call for the target and shoot when it feels right.
Bet you’ll hit more than you’d expect to.
Point being. Brain knows where gun is pointing without beads or looking down barrel. Focus on target, brain will put gun in right spot to break target.
