It's a red dot sight system that is absolutely the best system for a turkey hunter made IMO !!

The main appeal of the Burris FastFire to me is that it's very small and extremely durable (compared to the "red dot" scopes).
Technically speaking, the Burris FastFire is a "reflex" sight, not a "red dot" sight. But the concept of an aiming "dot" is the same with both.
The Burris "Speed Bead" is basically just a different mounting system for the FastFire (or maybe it's that the FastFire is just a different mounting system for the Speed Bead).
The Burris FastFire (and Speed Bead) is generally more expensive than the "red dot" scopes. But, it is among the less expensive of the quality, and more durable reflex sights.

Hey SX3 what, in your opinion, makes the sight awesome shooting flying objects such as dove and clays....im trying to get some reviews lol
because it forces you pull your cheek down to look straight down the rib. it keeps your eyes focused on the target (duck, goose, dove, clay or whatever. Most people (myself included, have a tendency to point shoot at moving objects and that is what causes low hits on clays and wings/tail hits on ducks/geese.
the speed keeps your eye right down the rib, where it is supposed to be and really helps you lead the target.
just my opinion. I have speed beads on my SX3, Gold 10, BPS 10 and two 20 gauges. Pretty much anything that I am going to wingshoot with. My wife uses them on clays.
I am starting my daughter out with a youth model 20 gauge and she has one on it too.
Guess you can say I am speed bead fan lol.

i didn't think they were available on any 20 gauge models? is that not the case?
Do they sale them? No.
Can you make them? Yes.
They do not sale them for a 10 gauge either. But, you can modify any of the mounting systems to fit your gun. Just have to be sure to compensate for recoil. My gunsmith in Dover has modified their systems for a few guns that we shoot.

man do tell, i have a Franchi Affinity 20 i would love to look into adding one on.
where is Wilson County located in the state? maybe one weekend we could meet up and you could shoot the mod versions we have made for my 10 and 20 gauges?
