Just read a article in the latest NRA Mag SHooting Illustrated about using a Red Dot sight on a scatter gun for wing shooting and even trap shooting though I wonder if they would let you use that in a leauge?
The ( author of the article Clair Rees claimed hitting was much easier using the red dot on flying targets. I fugured what the heck why not and went down to the local gun shop to do some horse tradeing as I knew they had some Tasco's with a built in mount for Remington shotguns in stock. Since Tasco is out of business and taken over by Bushnell and the warrenty is not covered by Bushnell (that is what Bushnell told me anyway unless they changed it) I got a 179 dollar Tasco red dot for 60 bucks which I felt was fair account of the warranty question. I traded a old double 12 that had a busted and repaired stock even up and considering the value of the gun and what the red dot sold for before tasco went out of business (179.00) I figured I made a good trade.
Has anyone here used a red dot for wing shots?? I plan on trying it the sight pic is great and should be great for shooting a shotgun expeccially for those of us who shoot rifles a lot and get in the habbit of trying to sight a shotgun instead of pointing. This way you can sight the gun and point at the same time. Where ever you want to hit just put the dot. Jim
