What sights for my pardner for shooting slugs and trap shooting

[dd61999]

I need help selecting a set of sights for my pardner. I need them to be accurate enough to shoot slugs for deer hunting and to aim properly for turkey season. But at the same time I would like to use the same sights for trap shooting, upland, and waterfowl hunting as well.

Thanks in advance

Put a scope rail on it and go with a red dot. Shoot with both eyes open.

mmmmm....I'm kinda old school and prefer iron sights

Im just concerned that they may get in the way when trap shooting or wing shooting.

If you want to stay with iron sights.  The only thing that comes to mind is a front bead on a ventilated rib.  I had this set up years ago on my Remington 1100, it worked great for trap, skeet, and upland hunting.  I didn't do any waterfowl
hunting.  It will do for turkey, and it is accurate enough to use to shoot deer with slugs, but you shouldn't expect great
accuracy, past 50 yards, with this type sighting system.  After all it is a compromise type set up.
I wouldn't get regular iron type rifle sights.  To me it would be a distraction when wing shooting.  Just a personal preference.

I would just get a separate barrel with sights on it for slugs and keep the barrel you have now for hunting birds and shooting clays. But if you must have sights on your bird barrel then a ghost ring type sight would probably be your best bet

after much thought. I might try just using the bead and keeping the range to 50 yards or less

you think I can get decent accuracy with just the bead

You should be able to shoot slugs at 50 yds with minute of deer accuracy with just a bead. The trick is to try different brands of slugs to see which shoot best in your gun. Then get out and practice with them until you are confident that you can put that slug where it needs to go.

Sights give you a 'point of reference' relative to your intended point of aim/ impact. It doesnt really matter how you achieve that point of reference, as long as you know what it is and it works for you.The double bead on a barrel or rib can do as well as the 'accepted' open sight set up. On a well fitting shotgun stock your head is always (well, supposed to be) in the same place and your eye is the rear sight. OK for bird and clay, but when you get scrunched in your deer stand will a twisted around the tree for the off coming deer, all bets are off. Tape another reference point on the barrel about where a rear sight would be and sight in for your distance and the slugs you will use. It will work fine, and when you are ready you can do something more permanent.
