There's not a lot of point to this post, but it'll make a couple of folks here smile and nod.
At my dad's prodding, I picked up 20 gauge 870 for my sister in law and niece to practice on a bit. The usual 870 Express, synthetic stock (the one that was one sale, I would have preferred the wood), 28" barrel, and vent rib with a little fiber optic "bead".
Took it out both Saturdays of the pheasant hunt in the afternoon between lunch and the evening hunting to make sure it worked properly. Shot up about a 2 boxes of shells between the two of us throwing clays with one of those little red hand throwers. Both weekends, dad was knocking down the clays down left and right. High, low, fast, slow, straight, curved, even when I threw a surprise "rabbit" for him.
Just as we were finishing up shooting the second day, dad was inspecting the shotgun and the sun caught the fiber optic and lit it up. Dad noticed this and said, "Huh... fiber optic... didn't notice that before..."
