The tunnel design forces your dominant eye to do the aiming. The dot is shielded from your non dominant eye making it comfortable to keep both eyes open whilst shooting. Even if you prefer to shoot with one eye closed the Fast Hit sight still offers a much brighter dot, allowing the eye to pick it up and focus much more quickly.
Encourages a consistent cheek weld.
Universal fit with supplied 3M adhesive tape. Easy to apply. Suitable for all shotguns.
150mm overall length. More fibre optic exposed than the competition with a longer eye occlusion tube.
Bead diameter is 3mm. This is considerably larger than a standard metal shotgun bead. Usually more suited to faster, closer targets. For shooting clays at distance you may prefer the 2mm version although this is a matter of preference. Either size is usable for any activity. Please see other listing for 2mm version.
Our standard length also gives a bright dot and is a great compromise between brightness, depth of colour and sight radius reduction but if you want the longest sight with the brightest dot available the ‘XL’ is it.
The exposed length of the fibre optic rod gathers light and concentrates it the end of the rod providing a bright dot.
All our products are designed to be as effective and tougher than others on the market but at a more reasonable cost.

WHY A FASTHIT GREEN FIBRE OPTIC SHOTGUN BEAD AND NOT ANOTHER BRAND?
We have studied all the strengths and weaknesses of the competing fibre optic shotgun sights and have addressed the weaknesses over several versions with feedback from a wide variety of shooters including UKPSA and IPSC England shooters. Even so, we are still happy to take feedback and are eager to improve where we can. The issues we see with other brands are these.
-
- Frame Thickness– The tube occluding the weak eye should be as thin as possible in order not to obscure small or distant targets. Many poorly made sights have very thick walls. A FastHit has 0.6mm wall thickness. This thickness maintains durability whilst not rendering the sight useless for distant targets.
- Eye Occlusion Tube– The length of the tube that prevents your weak eye from seeing the dot is important. If it’s too short you will see two dots with both eyes open. The brain then has to take a fraction of a second to choose which dot to focus on. A FastHit has a tube more than 40mm long to prevent this.
- Fibre Optic Rod– The fibre optic rod needs to be of good quality. The end which is viewed needs to be as smooth as possible to give a good clarity dot. The other end must be blacked out to avoid losing 50% of the brightness and washing out the colour. Lesser brands often make all these mistakes.
- Durability– The frame must be adequately durable whilst having a good connection to the fibre optic rod inside. Losing the fibre optic out of other brands whilst shooting was the reason we started FastHit. The fibre optic will never fall out of a FastHit. If it somehow did we’d send you a replacement anyway.
- Adhesive– A FastHit sight includes spare adhesive just in case you don’t get the placement right the first time. As far as we know no other brands do this. It’s a small thing but no doubt, often appreciated.
