Increase your hits!

At 72 years old, my eyes are getting tired and I thought I'd never shot a shotgun again. After a friend showed me his SpeedBead sight, I knew it would help me but WOW, did it ever.When I draw up on a bird, I now know exactly where I am shooting because I can focus on the bird and see in my peripheral vision where the red dot is. It does not block out the bird, only show relationships. It really improves the sight picture in low light such as early in the morning or just before quitting time. It is also good for dark days as well. The mounting system is well designed and relatively easy to install.Sighting in is a simple alignment with the present front bead sight of your shotgun. It stays on target once sighted in. I have never been a good shot but after installing the SpeedBead my shooting improved . The last four days of goose season, I shot 12 times. I bagged 6 geese. That includes an opportunity where I & my partner pulled up on a dozen geese early in the morning and both emptied our guns without a single hit. The birds were legs down into the decoys at 30 yards. First flock of the day. Man were they lucky. Even with the Speed Bead, you can't flock shoot ! I even purchased a second mount to go onto another shotgun I use for ducks and pheasants. Obviously I recommend this sight. The next improvement would be for Burris to develop additional mounting systems for more manufacturers and for 20 ga shotguns. While its a big investment, it is well worth it your me to keep shooting.

I've had the first generation SpeedBead on my Benelli M1 Super 90 for the last 17 years and it has run flawlessly. At various times I have run buckshot, birdshot, and slugs and the Fastfire turns on when when I hit the switch and has held zero after all these years, even after changing the battery. This mount places the optic on the rear slope of the receiver which allows your normal head position on the stock; if the optic fails or you forget to turn it on you have the same sighting system (bead, vent rib, rifle sights) that you would have if the optic wasn't attached to the shotgun. I've been shooting shotgun optics since the mid-90s and this mount is the best way to do it, IMO. I also have one of these on a Rem 870 and it has run just as well. I'd have these on all of my shotguns if Burris made more models. The optic footprint for this mount is the Shield SMSc so you can use any of the small optics. like the Fastfire, that share this footprint.

Perfect turkey sight

Easy mount to the 870. Worked perfectly until I broke the lens, no fault of Burris just abuse. Burris replaced it, no questions asked.
