    This is cool,maybe for a tactical shotgun.I don’t think you can beat just a gold bead for wing shooting,maybe the housing will disappear in you’re vision,but seams like it take a while to get used too after shooting regular shotgun for long time.

  • @OverTheShenanigans
    @OverTheShenanigans 3 месяца назад

    It might work in time, but that's still a blocky object covering your FOV on a fast moving target and it doesn't quite give you the feeling of leading or "trapping" a target when you're shooting at something moving. A rib and a bright front bead to me is still better for shotguns.

      @@indoorkite651 Yes. People have been mounting their optics to shotguns for a long time. You’ve got guys with Bushnell TRS 25’s that have been running those for 10-13 years. Or whenever those were released back in the day.
      All I mean is, you’ve got a ton of brands of budget red dots that hold up to long term shotgun use just fine. So, I’m just curious as to why the casing is so thick.
