My 1301 shoots slugs to POA, I shot it using nothing but the front and mid bead for a while. As my eyes matured, I added the sights. Robby Wheaton did the work.

I only run a bead. On a 1301 Comp that I’ve been shooting for years in 3-gun. And I have zero problem with slug hits at ~100ydsHate to be contrarian, but I do not honestly think I have even seen a 3gun shotgun at a match that only had a bead, except beginners. Much less in the top ten.
At least as my memory serves.

I tried a dot and rifle style sights before. They just seemed unnatural to me on a shotgun.
Let me say this, the top shooters will use every advantage they can so that means if they are running a tricked out open shotgun they will put a dot on it because the style & modifications would place them in that division anyway. That same top level shooter would be as good with a bead. Their choices are usually driven by the equipment rule sets and will use everything allowable for that chosen division, and choosing not to run a dot may keep them in Tac opsI agree with Frack (Bead is best). I've yet to see a top 3 gun finisher use anything but a bead (maybe a red dot).
Yup…grew up shooting rabbits on the run without even a bead for a sight.It wouldn’t surprise me if people that started shooting shotguns with beads long before 3gun are more likely to retain them.
I'm really digging this. Who did the work?

Did you have to open up the notch?
