Several; years ago, we were sitting around the skeet club and the question came up about what color was the best. I was asked what mine was and I had to go look. I was shooting a Ruger with english straight stock at the time and really had no idea. Imagine my surprise whe I discovered mine had been broken off, I had never noticed and at the time that old Ruger was my one and only upland gun. It wasn't like I wasn't using it, I shot over 100 quail and 40 pheasants that year plus gunning for pointing dog hunt tests along with skeet and sporting clays.
My point is that the front bead is supposed to just be an aid to do just what your screw is doing, make you keep your head down on the stock.
I had an instructor tell me once, "Eye on the bird, head on the stock. And DON'T THINK, just shoot." Works for me..
