Had a question about shotgun sights for a competition shotgun 18" 22" barrel. Considering shooting #6 for knocking down steel plates and poppers, which do you prefer (and why):
No sights
Just a front bead
Vent rib with bead/fiber optic
Rifle sights
Ghost ring/rifle sights
Red dot scope
Traditional scope
I decided to go with a vent rib and bead. I tried the Fiber optic on the rib, and although I like it on my handgun, for some reason I don't like it on my shotgun. The vent rib makes it really easy to line the target up quickly and the bead is enough to get good shot placement on the steel. I also tried ghost rings ona friends gun and I'm just not as fast with them. I probably could shoot pretty good with just the rib out to 20 yards with both eyes open target focus.
