I put a new Fastfire 3 w/speedbead on my rig last year, and did take a bird using it. That was after I had spooked a bird at about 45 yards. He looked right at me and scooted, and I knew darn well my camo and setup was good, and I didn't so much as blink. It got me wondering, so at quitting time I unloaded the gun, laid it across a couple of branches pointing to where the bird had been. The gun was not pointing toward the sun. I went out there and understood why the bird spooked. Even with the "sunshade" on, it looked like one giant golden eye staring out of the brush. I remedied the situation, somewhat, by gluing a square of mesh camo to the inside of the sunshade in front of the objective. Anybody else had this problem? Anybody have a better solution?
