    I was just getting to the point of paying attention to the bead or barrel in wingshooting.. and saying that it is bad.

    And I understood that. My opinion is that a gun that patterns below the rib puts more barrel in your view, in the way even wingshooting.

    If you have an iron sighted rifle that shoots 10 inches low you would lower the front sight and/or raise the rear sight

    by putting a mid bead which is now the rear sight on a turkey gun that is shooting low, and you aim it by setting the front bead on top of the mid bead like a figure 8, that would raise your point of impact. which is also allowing you to see more barrel or rib.

    What I was saying earlier in the case of my SXS which also shot low when I aimed it like a rifle, was that by putting a mid bead on the gun and setting the front bead on top of it, it raised the POI of the center of pattern to POA and fixed the problem.

    If I need to shoot at a moving target and I mount the gun like a shotgun the mid bead is not in the way

    Ditto. I'll probably be having a mid bead installed after the warranty work, expecting they will probably just address trigger pull.

    LOL, for the most part the horses were a breeze compared to some of the people.

    Thanks for the prayers

    CZ replaced the gun. Got caught up in the covid shutdowns so it wasn’t here for turkey season. Have only shot some field loads patterning full chokes at 20 yards but both barrels centered now. Planning on doves and ducks this fall then turkeys next year.
