If it is 20 feet or less, who needs a sight?  You should be able to point and hit at that range.  I've never understood the need for a "brush gun" even though I have plenty.  I can still hit just as good with my long barreled guns at close range.

Use improved cylinder for that shotgun.  YOu should be good up to 100 yards if you practice up.  A standard Remington 3" slug will drop about 16" at a 100 yards.  I have shot many deer with my Browning BPS.  It will dump a bear as well.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
