AJ Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: Fiber Optic sights? Nope they don't make one for plain barrels. Really they are not necessary. Take him to the range and shoot a few rounds to see where the gun patterns. People have been killing turkeys for decades with just a bead sight.

Jeramie Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Re: Fiber Optic sights? I actually like the bead sight much better. I grew up shooting bead and I can hit 10x better with one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coles Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Fiber Optic sights? i have found that alot of times when you have a bright fiber optic sight your eye tends to focus on the sight because its soo bright. i bought one and used it trap shooting and i shot a 15/25. a guy told me about how your eye focuses on it so i took it off. next round i shot a 24/25 and i truly think that the fiber optics was the problem. but who knows. i dont have any experience with them turkey huntin. as a matter of fact i have no turkey huntin experience at all.

elnor Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Fiber Optic sights? I used fiber sights for the first time last year and loved them. Quite a few patterning targets and one dead turkey last season testify to their effectiveness for me. That said, I could see that it might be distracting in a rushed shot situation. As with all things, comes down to personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Fiber Optic sights? I prefer the double bead. I can line those two up and be on target in a fraction of a second. I may get faster with Fibers but really dont have a reason to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Fiber Optic sights? im sure they would be good for turkey huntin. they just seem to draw your attention away from moving targets like clays and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While wingshooting the eyes need to be locked on the target, not the sights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Re: Fiber Optic sights? I have pack fiber sights from Hi Viz that i picvked up on a closeout for 5$ I opened the pack to try and put them on my Mossberg and it did not work out. You may glue or a sticky strip for the sight holder. Give me $6.50, $5 for the sights and $1.50 for shipping. and I'll send them to you. It comes with 8 different fiber pins.
