We've had a previous thread listing several sighting "aids". My images are gone and I can't edit the thread

Just came across another - "The Leader" in the 1911 Sears catalog

Not to be confused with the 1950s Chapek's Leader

Too bad they never made one that calculated target angle, distance and speed …. And knowing the target line too, such as a radar gizmo. Then, not only the skeet shooters, but the sporting guys and upland bird and waterfowl hunters could get some help too. Something similar to Rodney Dangerfield’s ‘Caddyshack’ putter, but for a shotgun would be the most helpful….
What fun would it be if we never missed? The pursuit of "never missing" is what's so fun about shotgunning. The biggest mistake made is thinking perfection can be bought, doing away with the work required to move towards that goal.

Now we have all those neon plastic worms cluttering up the ends of gun barrels.

But, back in the day shotgunners had our own Norden Bombsight --
