What is a shotgun sight?
A shotgun sight is a device that sits on the barrel of a shotgun that allows the gun to be aimed. Shotgun sights help line up the rear and front of the shotgun so that a linear plane is created on target.
Most shotguns are built with a sight bead on the end of the barrel and it requires looking down the barrel to put the bead on target and aim the shotgun.
Can you put a sight on a shotgun?
Yes, shotguns are designed to be able to mount many different types of sights. Shotgun sights can be placed on the receiver or the end of the barrel. Shotgun sights can be mounted by compressing the bead to the barrel or using magnetic plating.
Most shotgun sights are installed by the factory but can be modified by competent gunsmiths. Magnetic shotgun sights are the easiest to install.
What types of shotgun sights are there?
Shotgun sights come in three main types: Fiber optic barrel sights, fiber optic vent rib sights, and holographic sights. Each serves its purpose as all shotgun sights are not compatible with all shotguns.
Fiber optic barrel sights are designed to attach directly to the existing bead or wrap around the barrel magnetically. These sights are quick and easy to install. Fiber optic vent rib sites are designed to attach to existing vent rib of the shot gun and are usually glued into place. Installation is similar to that of the barrel sights.
Holographic shotgun sights mount to the shotgun receiver and project an aiming reticle inside a mount. This type of shotgun sight eliminates the need to use beads or sights on the end of the barrel.
Why do you need a shotgun sight?
Shotgun sights make aiming more precise. This is especially critical for fast moving game such as ducks and geese. Wing shooting for fast flushing quail and quick flying dove all benefit from having capable shotgun sights installed.
What is the sight on a shotgun called?
The sight on a shotgun is called a bead. The bead is a round pellet fused to the top of the barrel or vent rib at the end. The sight aids in aiming the shotgun.
What is a bead sight shotgun?
A bead sight shotgun is a common and historical shotgun design where a round pellet is placed on the top of the barrel at the end so that the user can look down the shotgun barrel and aim accurately.
