    second barrel bead

    How much does it cost, to have a 2nd barrel bead put on your shotgun?
    Any idea?

    As i heard, some say it would cost you missed targets.
    I removed all bids from my shotgun. Instantly started shooting better.
    But to each his own.

      Agreed, take off the beads and look at the bird.

        I wonder why people like to give advice instead of answering the question. He didn't ask for your opinions. He asked for pricing.

        It costs about $20-35 usually, but that doesn't include shipping your barrel away and back. Best bet is to find someone local that can tap & install. The process is not difficult.

          Dropping that name and phone number sure looks like giving advice.

            really if the gun fits you correctly then all you should have to do is look at the target, mount, and shoot the target. it sounds like an overly simplified statement but it's true you point a shotgun you don't aim it. most of the time I don't even notice my barrel because I've for BOTH eyes on the bird. if BOTH eyes are on the target and the gun mount is true and the gun fits ie: when you mount the gun and look down the barrel all you see is the bead but no rib then the gun should fire projectiles where you are looking. The brain has this fascinating way of calculating lead while you aren't even thinking about it. try it, your hits will go up by a large margin assuming the gun is set up correctly for you and your mounting it consistently.

                    the only situation where you aim a shotgun and still you don't need two beads if the gun fits.

                      Because if he asked where to buy heroin I wouldn't answer that either. That's how bad looking at the beads is

                        A lot of the top sporting clays shooters have a mid bead. It helps on pre sight routine, to confirm mount is correct. I won the nationals in AA, I shoot one.

                          And a lot of new shooters look at them like rifle sights. Which one do you think the OP is?

                            Bob Day does good work, but the OP is in Ventura County. I have a mid bead and found it useful, but now that my gun fits I just might remove both beads. Perhaps not as I am at the point where I can ignore the beads other than using them to check my mount, which can get off once in a while.

                              1. I wonder why some people think they have the right to educate everyone and take police power on themselves and think they can do it? Can you answer it?

                              2. The answer was given exact and correct, you just in your hurry to educate everyone did not notice it. The question was how much it will cots.. the answer was : " it will cost missed targets!" maybe not all of them, but most.
