RE: scopes vs red dot vs open sights
Due to my old eyes, I can no longer focus well on open sights, so this fall after 40 years of turkey hunting I made the decision to go to an optical sight...
Although scopes have many proponents, I was worried that due to my sometimes " awkward" shooting positions that using a scope with magnum turkey loads might invite a bad case of "scope eye"...I wanted the unlimited eye relief feature of a red dot or holographic type sight...
After much discussion with friends and on the forums, I settled on the new style Bushnell holosight...It has a long battery life and is reasonablylow profileand quite user friendly, although it's still higher than I would like... I'm considering raising the comb of my stock...It worked fine for my fall turkey this year, but since I've only hunted with it for a short time, the jury is still out..
