Ivory Bead:
Fond of my ivory bead, it won’t be coming off.

Do we aim a shotgun or do we point it? If we aim it then a sight, a bead, is helpful. If we point it, then it is not. As I consider it, I look at the bead when I mount the gun. If I have two beads I place one above the other. Then I call for the bird. When I call for the bird I look at it and not the gun. Maybe the bead makes it a little easier to point the gun. If that is the case then we need one...or if it is there we utilize it.

I basically shoot the rib and pay very little attention to beads but I want the gun "correct" just because it makes me happy! This is a very nice little 16, fully restored case color, a nice rust blue on the barrels etc., and one of my very favorites. Kinda broken hearted when I realized the bead was lost.
