Burris Speed Bead?

Does anyone have one and if so how do you like it?

Here is my thought on anything that glows in a shotgun. It would subconciously make your eye drift back to the barrel, which is a death sentence if you wanna hit anything. Now I am not saying this is a bad product. But you'll need to be clay shooting long enough to know not to look down your barrel and AIM !!! If you have the mental toughness to keep your eyes on the target and not let a glowing bead bother you, then good for you.
I am making a big deal about this is most shooters think aiming is the way to shoot a shotgun. It is not. You don't ever AIM a shotgun. Infact all new clays shooter will aim and the moment they realize not to aim their score goes up. There is a lot of skeet shooters that actually take OFF the bead so their eyes won't drift back to the barrel.
The Speedbead is a great idea if you could just keep your eyes locked on the target and NEVER let it drift back to the glowing light (the barrel). Then it should be a good product. But after decades of just having a front bead ... Is this really neccessary

Your choices: Looks or reflexive accuracy.

bjl333 is right on.

I use a fiber optic frontsight, however as previously stated you MUST train yourself to focus on the target and not the sight. Once you do that it could flash like a disco ball and you still wouldn't get distracted.

Thanks for the replies.
