I don't see anything in the regs prohibiting it.

No written laws against it in the regs.  I have seen people using speed beads.  I personally wouldn't want anything attached to the gun when shooting.  It's just a crutch for poor performance.  They can't fix lack of practice as some would hope.

Ya me either, i just wanted to get some extra input from others out there just in case better safe than sorry

I thought about a speed bead a couple years ago.  Instead I decided to spend the money and half a Saturday at Sunnydell Shooting in Sequim.  Glad I did that, everything I shot at that year after that hit the dirt or water dead.

You point a shotgun and you aim a rifle. I guess I don't even notice my bead when shooting birds.

This is what you want.  Instinctive shooting.  Sounds like your doing it right.

Thinking too much=missing. Point, shoot, dead.

If it only worked everytime like that.

I have only successfully done this one time with a .22 at a rabbit.
