Poa/poi and double beads

[turkey buster]

With vent ribbed barrels with double beads have you found the poa and poi close? Or is it like any other gun and just depends?

The couple double bead guns I've had have been pretty close, with the exception of one.  I had a Mossberg 500 with rib/double bead that had a POI 3-4 inches left and 2-3 inches low.  The add on fiber optic sights almost fixed this problem, still had to float the fiber optic sights a bit right to get the pattern centered.  Missed a big gobbler close because of that.

The above is a good example of why people need to pattern their guns, and not just assume.

I always use the TG mag gobble dot or mueller on my rigs for turkey, but just wondered since that double bead really tightens you up on your aim

It just depends. The weapon should be checked.

Two of my unlce's use the twin beads on their 835 with the factory ext turkey choke and have killed alot of turkeys in the 10 yrs I've been hunting with them.  Think they have only missed 1 each in that period too.

Lining up the mid bead and the front bead insures your head is down and you have the correct view down the rib. POI could still be off.

You just will have to shoot and find out.  anytime you use a front and rear sight it will improve your shooting regardless as to whether it's a twin bead, rifle type, or ghost ring.
