If I change my gun can I move the bead from my old gun?

Yes. The Bead can be removed safely by using fishing line to slice through the adhesive (there is no flexibility in the fibre optic material. It must not be bent in any way) which seperates the bead from the adhesive. The remaining adhesive is then rubbed from the rib and base of the bead.

What is the best colour of shooting glasses to use with the Easyhit!! bead.I have just fitted one and use amber glasses?

The advice I give is based on the basic principle of how the Easy Hit!! bead works. The brain is tricked by the difference in light contrast registered when both eyes work together whilst focussing on the target.
The contrast difference is caused by the correct eye aligned with the rib registering what the cross-eye does not.
Therefore if both lenses in your glasses allow the same frequency of light. e.g. They are the same colour/tone, the light contrast seen through them is very likely to be the same whatever the lens colour and the bead will work effectively.
However, the best glasses are those that permit a constant frequency whatever you are looking at. There are only a few on the market from the major manufacturers.

Why can I see the bead with both eyes?

It is not possible to see the bead with boths eyes at the same time and have your head in the correct position. If this happens mount your gun (after checking it is unloaded of course) at a mirror in your home. You will find that your years of shooting with a cross-dominant eye has got you into the habit of craning your head over the stock to get the eye closer to the line of the rib. The reflection in the mirror will confirm to you immeadiately that you need to bring your head back on side and shoot naturally and probably a lot more comfortably. However, to accomodate your previous set up, which may have required a lower comb height, you may now need to review that height and have your gun fit checked.

Does the device have a power source?

No. The brightness of the bead comes from daylight caught by the high quality fibre optic material and channelled towards the shooters eye and appears as a bright dot.

I'm slighty red colour blind. Would a green bead be better for me than the red one. Which length and diameter would be best for trap shooting. I shoot mainly DTL with the odd ABT, OT and UT?

Response from Victor Scrooby - Sports Vision Optometrist - If you are 'red' colour blind then believe it or not you are also 'green'colour blind. This is called dueteranopia and affects about 8% of all men. It should not influence the effectiveness of the bead at all. The colour of the bead is not important it is, in my opinion, the brightness contrast (what the correct eye sees against what the wrong eye does not with the bead in place) that makes the bead work and as such could be any colour. Graham Oades says "The 3mm shooting bead is without doubt the preferred bead for success at all trap disciplines".

As an experienced right shouldered shooter using maintained lead how do I cope with my previous sight pictures if my eye dominance is corrected by the Easy Hit!! bead?

As an experienced shooter your previous perception of lead will need refreshing. This will not take long after you fit the Easy Hit!! bead as you will be using natural and logical judgement to decide on the length of lead. Fitting the bead will take away the need to compensate for the effects of wrong eye dominance. Your shooting will now become more consistent and less frustrating.

Why are there three lengths to choose from?

The three lengths are designed to suit both shooters personal preference and the amount of light available in their normal shooting conditions.
The longer the device, the longer the bead will remain illuminated.

How does it actually work?

Simplistically. It works on the principle that your correct eye is presented with a fibre optic bead not dissimilar to any other but the wrong (cross-dominant) eye is prohibited from seeing it due to its patented design shielding it from view.
Despite not looking at the bead the brain still registers the contrast in light between the rib view and the non rib view along the barrel and will always prefer the rib line of sight.
The brain is constantly tricked into taking the easy option and the correct eye will always remain dominant despite looking at the target and long after you forget the bead is there, or you remove it, or use a gun without one fitted. Remember, it does not train the brain it tricks it!

Why are there two widths for each bead length?

The two widths are designed to suit both shooters personal preference and the amount of light available in their normal shooting conditions.
The wider the device, the longer the bead will remain illuminated.

As a game shooter with a side by side what bead should I buy?

The short 2.5mm or 3mm wide Hunting beads are ideal for use on side by sides. If shooting at dawn or dusk the 3mm wide bead is always the first choice.

As a Clay shooter with an eye dominance problem and who owns both a semi auto and an over and under what beads should I use?

Clay shooters use all lengths and widths. They will all achieve the same objective.
On average the 3mm wide Shooting bead is the most popular and would be perfect for both the semi and the over and under.

My shotgun rib is not smooth does this matter when fixing the bead?

No. The adhesive will ensure the bead remains in place during normal use.

I have a 4mm rib on my side by side. Will the bead be sufficiently stable and stay in place?

Yes. The 3M adhesive tape used to secure the bead to the rib will adhere perfectly and securely to the rib.

What is the main use of the Sportshooting bead?

The Sportshooting bead is the longest and brightest bead.
In either 2.5mm or 3mm width it is excellent for pigeon shooting in shaded areas or wildfowling and duck flighting at dusk or dawn. It is also the best choice for coaching. The benefit is shared by shooters without cross dominant eyes in poor light situations as the bead can use more light than the Sporting or Hunting beads.

What is the main use of the Shooting bead?

The Shooting bead is the second longest bead. It is the most popular model amongst Sporting and Trap shooters, being average in length and brightness.

Will the beads brightness distract me and make me look at the end of the barrel?

The bead appears like any other bead, whether fibre optic or not, there is no need to look at it at any time. It is the clever patented design that stops the wrong eye seeing it that is the secret of its success. The Easy Hit!! bead is designed to trick the brain without any further help from you after it is fitted.

Is there any independent evidence to support the claim that this bead works to correct cross eye or master eye dominance?

Yes. Victor Scrooby of Classic Eyes Opticians www.classiceyes.com is a Sports Vision Optometrist who lectures on Cross Eye dominance. You can read his report and direct reference to Easy Hit!! by viewing the ‘Why it Works’ page. You can also contact Simon Goldsmith of JH Steward (Bisley) Ltd of Bristol.

Why has this bead not been on the market before?

Having been designed and patented nearly 7 years ago as a cross-eye eliminator it was not confirmed that it could have such a positive impact on shooters scores.

Only now is its true worth being identified by shooters, instructors and coaches across the UK and Eire.

Do you use the bead?

Yes. As a CPSA Level 2 Sporting Coach I have a totally dominant left eye and shoot from the right shoulder.
I cannot shoot straight without the bead. In my opinion there is no better, more effective or natural way to restore binocular and peripheral vision and improve scores.

What axiom do you use when suggesting how to use the bead to a new customer?

I say ‘Fit it and Forget it’. Like any bead, whether fibre optic or not, there is no need to look at it at any time.
The Easy Hit!! bead is designed to trick the brain without any further help from us after it is fitted.

Will the length of the bead make my gun look shorter and affect my shooting?

No. Your cross dominant eye (Master eye) will be the eye over the rib and the perception of barrel length should not play any part in your shooting with a correctly fitted gun.

How do I fit the bead temporarily for coaching or testing if the device works for me?

Use black electrical tape. This will remain in place whilst shooting and will not damage the gun or the bead during fitting, shooting or removal.
The black tape will provide no distraction to the shooter.

I use a Shotgun which has a centre bead halfway down the barrel. Do I need to remove this. If so, how can I do so without damaging the gun. Also, does the front sight need to be removed?

If the gun is fitted correctly you should in most cases (there are exceptions) see a figure of 8 formed by the two beads.
In some cases the gap may be larger but seldom do the beads over lap. There is no need to remove either bead in order to fit the Easy Hit!! bead. Easy Hit!! fits on the rib and butts up against the existing muzzle end bead. The Easy Hit!! bead should be visible in place of your existing muzzle end bead. If the middle bead blocks out the view of the Easy Hit Bead we recommend you check your gun fit as this indicates that the comb is low. If in doubt call us for live technical help. 0845 895 1066 9am - 9pm Mon - Sun. We recommend all alterations to shotguns are carried out by a qualified Gunsmith.
