SHOTGUN MID BEAD..."to bead or not to bead"...Roger Pace

[@doddoliver]

Just finished talking with a gunsmith who was telling me I need to start again with my shooting style because I keep a flat rib (obscured front bead). Thank you for confirming my thoughts that bead alignment is individual. Liked and subscribed!

[@rogerpace9322]

Thank you for watching...much appreciated...stay well !!!

Thank you. This is a very good explanation of the mid-bead. Today I was at the trap range with my 13 yo daughter. Our pro came up to us after the round and told us that he noticed my daughter’s shotgun (Remington 20 gauge Bantam) did not have a mid-bead. He thought this might be why she was not consistently shooting well. He suggested that she try the club’s gun with a mid-bead to see if that helps her mount. Well I came home and this was the video I found. Now even I can understand his comments. We always appreciate his advice and we both take lessons from him. What I got from this video includes (1) mid-bead is important for consistent mount, (2) consistent cheek pressure and (3) well, forgot already. Need to rewatch. Thanks for your videos, I can watch them over and over. I have only been shooting clays for 15 months but I learn something new with each video. Thank you from Naples, Florida!

Good on you and thanks...stay well and happy shooting !!!

I have very little experience with shotguns. I stopped and watched trap shooting at the range two weeks ago and decided to give it a try. I bought a cheaper brand o/u 12 Gage and tried out the sport today. I listened to many of your videos this week and tried to put it into play. I shot two rounds of 50 targets total. I actually made contact on 20 targets, and hit right on the clay target of 5 of them. I think your helpful advice made a difference. I really wasn't expecting to hit the bird at all, with such little experience with shotguns and a moving target. I would say to myself, in my mind, "see the bird, shoot the bird", the call out "pull". I had a lot of fun out there.

[@rogerpace9322]

Cat Dude...good on you...and as the weeks go by you'll keep hitting more and more targets...best wishes to you!

[@JuStIcEcLarK28950321]

Well done, but be careful its addicting.

[@antoinefenech8342]

thanks for sharing your expiriance. I've just bought my first shoot gun and taking some of your advice bro. I just when once but I've already learned a lot. still a lot to go tough.

[@rogerpace9322]

Antoine...good luck and happy shooting!!!

[@my1956effie]

Congrats on the A grade. As a new shotgun shooter the mid bead was a must for my first shotgun. Keep up the good work.

[@rogerpace9322]

Thanks and good on you!...and thank you for watching

[@retr0mullet]

My field guns lack a mid bead, as appropriate, but to me an absolute must on a sporting gun. Great, concise video.

[@rogerpace9322]

retromullet...always appreciate your encouragement...thanks !

[@heavy-gauge]

New trap shooter here. I've been trying to find out the purpose of the beads from many a trap video and this video finally answered it succinctly! Use them to align your cheek on the stock and then never look at them again when you say "pull". I have been using the beads for aiming after the "pull" Hopefully now I can improve my score. Thank you!!

[@rogerpace9322]

Good on you and glad it was helpful...happy shooting...!!!

[@Cuzzazbuzz]

Roger, you're like the 'oracle' of shooting! All makes perfect sense to me.

[@rogerpace9322]

Cuzzazbuzz...Good on you!

[@harrypersaud9422]

Hi Rojer all of your videos are very informative and thank you very much for sharing your information ,its very helpful to me.

[@rogerpace9322]

You are very welcome Harry...thank you and stay well!!!

[@spenceredwards581]

It’s really great watching you videos.I find them really helpful and informative and straightforward to follow especially when there is some confusing information out there.so thank you Roger From a dtl shooter in Victoria!keep up the good work

[@rogerpace9322]

Spencer...greetings to you in Victoria...and thanks for watching the videos!

[@donshd28]

Thanks for this video Roger. It was very helpful. I was taught to ignore the mid-bead. Next time out i will follow your suggestions and see if it changes anything. I enjoy your videos, please keep up the good work!

[@rogerpace9322]

Don...the mid bead is the greatest friend we have...it ensures that our eye is perfectly lined up with our rib...but once we call pull we never look at our gun again we just focus on the clay...stay well and happy shooting!!!

[@cabletie69]

you make a lot of sense. Thanks.

[@rogerpace9322]

Glad it was helpful! Stay well...and thanks for watching!!!

[@williamalanwilliams8182]

Great achievement Roger on getting to grade 'A' and thanks for the information on the Mid-Bead, I didn't know anything about this. Your step by step on explaining things is great especially for someone like me thats a bit slow at catching on...Thanks for posting, wish you all the best.. Bill

[@rogerpace9322]

William...good to hear from you and thanks!

[@TwoRiders]

Thanks Roger for another useful informative video You made a kind comment on a video I posted a year-and-a-half ago. j Just wanted to let you know that the young lady who was the commander of the rifle drill team in that video (our daughter) has completed her first year at the United States Military Academy at West Point. during her first summer training she was the top scoring shooter in her Squad with a rifle. She's doing great and having fun. Keep going with the videos and congratulations on getting to the A grade. I take some inspiration from your journey and hope to break into B grade this year cheers

[@rogerpace9322]

TtJj...good on her...she has done well and you have every reason to be proud of her...the skill and dedication in the rifle drill team is amazing...good luck and let me know when you break into B grade...stay well and best wishes to you and your family.

Another great video. Thanks, Roger. I am just considering getting a mid-bead installed on my Silver Pigeon Sporter (doesn't come fitted with mid-bead from factory by Beretta). Helped me with the decision. Cheers

[@patrickbrannan2703]

Roger, Are you involved with shot shell reloading? That subject would produce a great video series.

[@rogerpace9322]

Patrick...I dont reload...but there are people in the club who do...many people have stopped reloading because of the high price of lead and the other components...but that is a great idea...and i will see if i can do a video of them reloading...good on you and stay well!

[@oldfarmer3001]

Roger Pace you did that video ?

[@landonvizzari2321]

does the 690 sporting blk come with the adjustable comb?

[@rogerpace9322]

Yes...pretty sure it does !!!

[@beaucaville3661]

Hi roger, congrats on A grade, btw how about a video on ported barrels 😉

[@rogerpace9322]

Beau Caville ...good to hear from you...are you giving me homework?....that's a good topic ...i will research it this week!

[@beaucaville3661]

Cheers mate

[@edwardwatson6606]

Hello Roger I’m a novice shotgunner game and sporting clays my intention I just bought a unused beretta 687nSilver Pigeon 2 a beauty 30 “ barrel No mid bead should i install one if how do i have this done

[@rogerpace9322]

Edward...i am a big believer in mid beads...any gunsmith should be able to install one for you!

[@pcg3003]

The mid bead does nothing. It's what you do or don't do with it that counts.

[@squattoad7470]

All common sense brother
