Steve Moneypenny Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Is anyone out there using ghost ring sights or is it pretty much universally a bead with a small rear sight ? I may be lookign to trade an 18" benelli barrel for a 21 or 24" vent rib. The two rear sight screws broke on the benelli years ago, I have had no luck at all getting new screws to put the sight on with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openclassterror Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I personally run a Red-dot because I am left eye dominant and it is the only way to shoot right handed. Actually the only reason I shoot in Open division. Our biggest requests though on what we build, are 10/22 flip-up rear, or a really small v-or-notch rear in conjunction with F/O bead front. I have seen VERY few Ghost ring sights in use by serious 3gunners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkface Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Im using a hiviz flame front sight and no rear at the moment. Planning on cutting a triangle notch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asr1 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 HIViz front nothing on the rear seems very good better than the factory front bead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1778 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 My Open gun has an EOtech 512. My Versamax had an XS sight rear V added along the vent rib. A Fiber Optic "bead" up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg308 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Glock adjustable rear with a Dawson Fiber STI front sight in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaticvisions Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi-Vis fiber optic front, a little dab of white paint at the back of the vent rib where it slopes down to the receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Winters Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Started out with rifle sights on a deer barrel. Helped somewhat for slugs, but I found the rear sight slowed me down and partially blocked my vision on target transition. Changed to a front fiber optic and had a mid barrel bead. Once I relearned to get my head down, I found it better. The mid bead really helps me line up with the front bead with slugs and for me is as accurate as iron sights.

Buddy2 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I run the Champion Easy Hit Shotgun Fiber Optic Front Sight and just the mid bead in the back. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/819512/champion-easy-hit-shotgun-fiber-optic-front-sight-3mm-red-5#reviewHead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwikel Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I also run a Champion Easy Hit front sight in the 2.5mm size. The way the tube is designed if you don't keep your head down with a good cheek weld you can see the sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwikel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The fiber on the end is enclosed in a metal tube and inset. If you have your head higher then looking down the barrel with a cheek weld you can't see the fiber in the tube. Hope that makes more sense.

Paul : -)# Rifle sight deer barrels on mine, with the sights changed out to Ashley Express sights....... For me as fast as a bead front with the added advantage of a useable rear for distant slug shots.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquaticvisions Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 You have sights on a SHOTGUN??? At Hard As Hell we had to shoot slugs at a clay stuck in the middle of a no-shoot. 150 yard slug shot at 3GN Western Regionals and a 60 yard shot on a 10" plate. So, yeah.
