I’m getting a few years on me too and I’m sure that scopes are faster to make accurate hits with and I’m sure receiver sights are the next best thing, but I find both to imperfect for fast shooting of big targets up close.
A bead sight is faster on a shotgun than either because of the accuracy requirement. I’m not sure a Buffalo at 20 yards is much different. I also like the rear sight being farther from my eye in recoil. Last, open sights get picked up before on target, but a reticle or dot gets picked up after the gun comes on target. If you will give up that final aim accuracy, sights can be faster.
