[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5028270, member: 10399"] Something to be said for this. I’ve shot plain bead, rifle sights, and fastfire. If for some reason I could not use the fastfire, I would go back to a plain bead. But that said, I’ve patterned a lot of guns. When choked down enough to get a discernible pattern, on more than half the center of the pattern does not hit centered with the point of aim. Some part of the pattern almost always covers the point of aim, but it might be the left or right half of your pattern doing the killing every time. In practice, that’s usually not a big deal. It’s a shotgun. As long as some part of your pattern covers his head, he’ll be just as dead. But I’m a little OCD. If I’m aiming at his neck, I want the center of my pattern to him him in the neck. That ensures a little wiggle room if he zigs or I zag when the shot is touched off. Often the only way to get that without specialized gunsmithing barrel work is to use some form of adjustable sight.
