I mounted the speed bead and fast fire 3 about a week ago and everything was great. I killed a Turkey with it today and noticed the dot had moved. I figured I had bumped it after I shot so I went and sighted it in when i got home but now after every shot the dot jumps to a different spot. Has anyone had this problem?

I experienced something similar last week with mine as it shut off after I shot and would not come back on. I removed the battery and put it back in and made sure I screwed the battery lid down tight and it worked flawlessly yesterday as I ran several rounds through it.

If your dot is jumping around, I would PM BurrisOptics on here, and tell him what's going on. He will be able to help you out, and fix you up.

I had the same exact thing happen. Got the speed bead and fast fire. Sighted it in. Shot it a week later and the point of impact had changed. Resighted and went to Mississippi. I checked it when I got there and all was okay. Killed one the first morning. As I was getting my stuff together to walk to meet my buddy I looked through the sight and the dot was not aligned with the rib of my gun.  Shot it when I got back to camp and it was off. I pulled it immediately and called a reputable gunsmith. He said they had problems with the speed bead mounts. I'm really wanting to get the fast fire back on there since it seems like such a good sight but just don't know what to do?

It sounds like Heeter found the problem.  Make sure you tighten the wedge screw or it won't/can't hold zero.
