Lino Felarca, M.D. Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I have been taught and trained to look at the target when shooting with the shotgun. I remembered reading some of our members look at the front sight. Any opinions pros and cons? Lino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.E.Anglin Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 shooting shot on a static target or a flying bird, I generally just look at the target, unless it is a longer shot on a smaller target or if shooting slugs I tend to use the sights.

Religious Shooter Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I tend to miss if I don't use the sights. Ideally I try to use the sights. I think you can be successful either way. But like all the other guns, shooting without the sights and using "feel" by using the body's and head position, muscle memory etc. takes a lot of rounds and repetition to build up. Something that I can't do with shotgun due to time and $ constraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 If you can shoot instinctively (i.e. looking at the target) and get good hits, you should go ahead and do it with a shotgun. That means you have to get it to shoot where you're looking by a variety of means and modifications. If that's all "on," then looking at the sights will only slow you down. It may be debatable with slugs, though, as you're essentially shooting a big bore rifle that will have one point of impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 SIGHTS, don't need no stinking sights on a shotgun, mine are only on it for looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
