I started with a bead, then went to fiber optic clamp on sights because of poi/poa problems. Then I went to red dot sights because my eyes got just old enough and couldn't line up the sights without wearing a pair of "cheaters." Had great success with the red dots, but made the switch to a low powered scope this season. Love it! Nice to be able to focus it for a crisp sight picture, and the model I got has 6" of eye relief, so no worries about crawling the stock and getting whacked in the eye. The scope adds a little bit of weight, but the gun is pretty lightweight to begin with, so it still weighs about the same as my bps with fiber optics. I still think an open dot like the fastfire 3, and red dots like it are probably about the perfect turkey gun sighting system, but I am really liking the scope right now. I am going to put it thru it's paces the next couple of seasons and see how it stacks up.
