Rushing it!
« on: July 14, 2004, 03:49:31 PM »
Went tonite and shot trap again with the red dot to see if I could do better. Last time was a  14 and I know at the beginning I was rushing my shots. This time same thing I shot a round and shot a 11 I know some of them I rushed. I was talking to a guy and he told me at the club ya got more time than ya think just slow it down if you feel more comfortable with that. I did and shot a 19 out of 25 still needs some inprovement but after not shooting for a few years I was satisfied. You naysayers with the dot still may think it is aiming and it may be but not like you think. You still have to follow the bird and shoot like you normally would or you miss plain and simple. I still say it is like putting a fiberoptic front bead on the barrel it is a red dot or green dot out there at the end of your barrel. THis is the same difference only it is more exagerated of a dot  as it is right out there with the target . Jim
Said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it.

Read a article in a gun mag about it and happened to pick up a Tasco Red dot reasonalbly for the 870 so I figured yea I will give it a try. I did shoot a goose with the setup last fall and will use it again this fall. The article stated it worked well for hunting and trap shooting ect so I figured what the heck give it a try. you still have to shoot a shotgun using the same leads ect but this gives you a better idea where you are at out there past the barrel.
