JOHN BIDWELL says:
Yes… and no. The thinking behind these gizmos is that when a gun is correctly mounted the bead aligns with the master eye allowing you to focus better on the target.
The makers and importers claim that the beads help correct eye dominance problems and there are plenty of people out there who’ve tried them and would agree.
On the other hand there are others who have not found it as helpful.
My view is that these foresights do have a lot to offer but they really come into their own when used with a gun that fits, and the shooter knows how to mount a gun properly in the first place.
