Default What kind of sights do you use?

What kind of sights do you use on the turkey gun you'll be hunting with this year?
I use fiber optics on my front sight, and there's a normal rear sight.

right now i just have a fiber optic front bead...which works fine. But i checked Red Dot because something about these dudes being strapped to the top of a pistol grip shotgun looks sooooo sweet to me. Im just waiting to see how my money spreads out. I dont wanna spread it too thin.

Truglo 40mm red dot on top of my Benelli SBE with a steady grip stock. I like it because I can keep both eyes open and see the dot really well and also what is going on around me, which helps if you arein a mess of turkeys.

Default RE: What kind of sights do you use?

I use a Nikon 2-7x32.

And leave it on 2x. Really helps on close birds.

Used to have a red dot. Flew to Texas on a red-eye to hunt birds at 5am and the next four days. I suspect a TSA inspector turned on the scope to mess with it, but I landed in Amarillo, TX at 2am with a dead 2032 battery, and no replacement. Addmittingly, my fault for not planning that sort of thing... but I was glad my FO sights were still set. The Red Dot never went back on the gun. I don't really rely on anything that is JUST electronic in a sight system.
