kurtm Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hey! Where is that flying car that Walter Croncite promised we would have in "The 21st century" films. Without THAT, whats the point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moltke Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'd like to see the guys who don't have rear sights on their shotguns shooting slugs with higher accuracy requirements such as smaller targets, farther away Or rolled over from the low ports on a VTAC barricade and make CONSISTENT & FAST hits because they "know" where their slugs land There is "knowing" and there is KNOWING, and when the shooting actually gets hard there is no substitute for a properly zeroed firearm Some guys will do well and others will come to appreciate a rear sight quickly because fitted or not, you're not going to line up easy or fast positioned like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEP44 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I use HiViz sights on both my SuperNova and M2. I honestly wouldn't know if I could get by without a rear sight, I never tried, and so far I like 'm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just a upside down pyramid able to hit 10" out to 100 yard. For those that have added a rear sight have you actual noticed it improve your hits & speed ratio shooting @ distance, or In your opinion its not necessary.

Flash74 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) No sight, 100 yards and in with cheap forster type slugs, it is simply not necessary. I have deer hunted with slug guns for 20 years and have never gone home without one. It is simply point and shoot with a 26" barrel and bead site.

mike cyrwus Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 everyone goes apes%&^t and worries about the .89% of the time you pull a trigger on a shotgun and theres a slug in the chamber. almost always at the expense of the other 99.11% of shots. Almost without question, if its too long to hit without a rear sight we all would be better off shooting once, taking the miss and moving on.

kurtm Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Well i somewhat agree for the huge steel and one hit anywhere on a full sized IPSC target anything will do, but for over seas where it is two on paper for score or shooting a clay birds out to 50 meters or 8 1/2x11 option targets give me a rear sight every time!! Oh and I do have one every time. I have won a lot of slug stages because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffgats Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yes definitely. Adjustable rear STI sight dovetailed into the vent rib and zeroed. Taking the guesswork out of shooting is always a good thing. I am interested too on putting a rear sight, The STI rear you mentioned, its this the Bomar Style or their Tac adjustable, maybe a pics would help, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Bacus Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Funny, what I see people saying about not needing sights for slugs, and what I see people doing at matches without sights when shooting slugs, seem to be two different things.

T Bacus Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Kurt can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's all about fit and focus. For clays, steel and any birdshot type target it's all about fit. I don't use the sights for these shots even though they are there. Mount the gun, look down the rib and focus on the targets. If a slug target is presented load slug, shift focus to sights and make the shot. It's not like a set of sights on the shotgun prevent you from shooting it like a shotgun when you need to, which is most of the time. It's like some are implying that if you have a set of sights on the shotgun you must always shoot it like a rifle, but you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yes Mr. Bakus, fit IS critical! However we aren't alway in a nice standing position where it helps. We kneel, shoot roll over prone leaning way left or right, sometimes almost started ding on our heads, which can really change how our eye lines up behind the rib. A rear sight really helps align the barrel when everything else is "dynamic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobS761 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Lol! I forgot what flippers were called. But I can imagine those two sailing a pepper popper into the air! They always come up with really interesting stages, I'm lucky to live relatively close to Rockcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOM Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Malcom which one did you buy; Midway sells 2 versions of the Ruger 10/22 rear sight. I thought it was made with a polymer, or plastic base, and metal ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
