I've been hunting grouse for a few years, and finally got a quality gun (12 gauge pump Rem 870 WingMaster) and was wondering if any of you hunt with a different type of sight other than the stock bead? My eyes are decent, but i do wear prescription safety glasses when i hunt, do you think it would be worth it to invest in atype of fiber optic sight like i sometimes see guys use on turkey guns? thanks for the info! I got my first bird of the season on 9/22, a small female, on my 2nd shot. Never would have got her with my old break-action 20 gauge!

you can get magnetic front tubebead in TRUGLO green or orange..
no screws,it sticks on tight and you can take it off in 1 second..
yes, i highly rec it..

i like green one...

Sproulman is all over this one......I have hunted grouse for several years and found out that putting a Truglo bead on sure help me. I went with the green bead, but I wouldn't think color would be a factor. I just seem to pick up the front bead quicker and got better shots.

Fellas don't mean this in smart way..But when do you guys have time to look at sights when shooting Grouse?

Let me re-phrase that......it helps me find the end of my gun! You are right you really don't aim, it is all instinct (spray and pray)[8D]

i use my sight even tho its natural just to shoot..
on trap etc its great to have a high vis site.
closer you get your face to stock/barrel more you will get grouse...

using sight we make you a better shooter because it gets your face on stock and your eye down barrel..
but i agrre,most times you dont even remeber front sight on fast grouse in close BUT out at 35/40 yards after leaves are off, sight comes in as you are SWINGING not pointing as you were when leaves were on and shots closer..
