Tom Knapp sight?

This is very simple! You play ball or hockey? Do you lock at the bat or the ball? Do you look at the mit or the ball? Do you look at the stick or the puck?

SEE, it is simple! Look at the target and not the sight when shooting shotgun! You need a proper fitting shotgun that will follow your eye. Where your eye is pointing is where the shotgun will shoot. Look AT the leading edge of the the target wether clay or bird. The rest is natural subconscience doing its work!

One more! "If you think, you stink!" Concentrate on the target and leave everything else in the garbage bin!

Regards,
Henry;)
 
sight

I recall reading an interesting piece by a shooting instructor in Sportingshot (I think) --- he state that when some of his students were missing a lot at stations 3/4/5, he would remove the hi-vis sight from their rib and make them shoot without -- scores increased dramatically -- forced the shooter to look at the target. If you see the foresight conscious or unconscious, he theorized that you will have a tendency to stop the gun when you pull the trigger.

Then why have a bead at all?
 
If you have trouble moving your head around and raising it, not keeping it planted to the comb during the swing, then the sight will help. It is designed so that if and when your head moves that the red optic will disappear. It just helps to train you to keep and maintain the cheek weld, and keep the cheek in the same place on the stock. Is is an old design that resurfaces every so often. I think I still have some Weaver sights that probably go back 20-30-40 years.

Some shooters don't. I lost the front bead on a shotgun at the beginning of a two day shoot. Scores didn't change. I did have it put back on a month later.

If you are clearly focused on the target your eye sees the bead and rib in the periphery. The trouble with the big glow stick is that it occupies more of your central vision when shooting a target. They are fine for slug shooting but not for flying targets.
