I carry my 12ga for the ducks and the 10ga O/U for the geese.

Elwood uses the bead when he is shooting them on the water

No you do Nate

I will concede that a bead, or even TWO beads, has been a pretty standard item on trap and skeet guns for a long time. The danger with putting glo beads and that sort of thing on the average guys scatter gun is that a fella who does not shoot a lot will start to AIM his shotgun at a duck or pheasant and that usually leads to all sorts of shooting trouble. I learned to shoot "instinctively", with handgun and shotgun. But I've also shot a few gazillion rounds of clay birds and, while I am not usually aware of the bead, it MAY aid the eye in tracking the muzzles, which is NOT a bad thing when shooting claybirds. Hard for some folks to understand and I guess I may not be getting the point across very well either.
Oh well, what the hell: do it YOUR way! Ha Ha!!

hi-viz sights are so popular because they make money. you think tom knapp needs one? He says he loves it - but not because it makes him shoot better, it just makes him a whole boatload of money

I use a 12ga and 10ga while field hunting many times when we know mallards and geese are using the field. 2 seasons ago 4 of us all got checked by the GW, and we all had 10's and 12's. He didn't say much other than something like wow thats a lot of fire power. He checked each gun and all the shells we had. As he was checking a flock of geese came right in, he stopped checking and said you guys can shoot em!! We limited out on geese and shot 4 mallards that day.

I agree with you guys totally. But I do think glo sights have there place on the average guys gun. Probably hleps some guys and hurts some guys. I think that it allows u to still concentrate on the target while being able to "see" the sight. Tough to explain i guess lol. I do remember shooting my old Mossberg one time after losing my front sight and I did hit some stuff. But I prefer having a sight on the end.

The bead must have obscured your view of the Buffies.

I always try to practice shoot and release.

I thought it was illegal to have two loaded shotguns...?

You can have 1000 loaded guns in your boat.

There is nothing regulating the number of guns you can have while hunting.

I have been checked by the CO and have had a 12 and a 10 with 3 shell boxs; as one had reloads in em. You should have seen his face when I hand him 5 shell boxs and 4 guns for 2 guys! Only thing he said was have a nice day after everything checked out and proper licenses were shown.

John

i know duck hunting in Ontario its illegal to have 2 loaded shotguns.

well isnt that kind of a dumb to make you have a plug in the gun if you can have another loaded gun next to you
