I know several people who use these sights for clay shooting. People with eye dominance problems find that the sights help them to keep their proper eye focused properly as the sight is only visible if the stock and barrel are properly aligned.

I know a couple of instructors who recommend them for new shooters.

I find that when I look at the sight I miss, when I mount properly and concentrate on the target I usually hit. Gunfit is very important, the gun must be able to be mouned in the same place each time and must be properly aligned with the eyes. These sights might help in this area as the dot is only visible if the gun is properly mounted.

I would suggest trying one of the magnetic sights, as they don't require modifications to the gun that you may not want if the sight doesn't work. Most pro shops at ranges sell them now.
