Shotguns with 2 beads, how to line them up
« on: February 20, 2019, 07:45:35 PM »

I’m trying to get my new A5 dialed in for turkey season and I’m shooting about 6 inches low and a couple inches to the left at 20 yards.  Would stacking the beads like a figure 8 raise my point of impact?  I’m doing my best to mount the same every time to my cheek and look flat down the rib with the beads lined up but still shooting low.

Here is my response:

It’s one of those things that where if you need to ask. . .

 

However, let me try and tackle the OP’s question.  The answer is it depends.

Shotguns with pins are meant to be shot instinctively. They’re not meant to be deliberately aimed.  However, we do just that when we use them on turkeys.  I’ve hunted with one bead and two.  The system is really dependent on a good cheek weld, and that is not always possible with a gobbler.

Your hold is going to be determined at the patterning board.  Let’s say you have one bead. You put it at 6 O’Clock and touch one off.  It’s low.  So now you try dead-on and you get a good pattern.   In the end you may be 12 O’Clock at 40 yards and 6 O’Clock at 5.  You’ll have to practice.  2 Beads?  There is no set method, but normally you want to see no rib and have the back pin surrounded by the front pin.  That may change when you take it to the pattern board. The pins may line up as two concentric circles, or an 8 or the back pin may be shifted left or right.  It’s all about you, your cheek weld, the load, the distance, the choke and how you mount the shotgun. Unlike a scope, the pins require practice to figure out what is going to work.

Scopes take away a lot of that guesswork, but they’re also dependent on a consistent cheek weld.  One big benefit of a scope is that they give you feedback on your cheek weld.  You have to put your cheek right at the sweet spot in order to get the right sight picture.   Red Dots, reflex sights, and their like remove that requirement somewhat.  That is, they throw the dot on where the shotgun is aimed no matter what your cheek weld  at least up to a point.

Genesis 9:2-4

2 The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4 Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
