What is the purpose and use for two beads on a shotgun?
The two beads are used just like the sights on a rifle , except they are not adjustable. They are primarily only on double barrel shotguns as most of these have longer barrels than the single barrel ones.
The first bead is for your eye to see first and when it is lined up with the second bead it assures you that you are looking straight down center of the barrel and it also tells you that you are holding the gun on a level sight with your eye .....this assures that you won't shoot high or low from an improper hold of the gun. (not having your cheek down tight on the stock) Hope this helps. Joe

Why is Chinese turquoise green and not blue?
The color of turquoise ranges from white to blue. And the blues vary from powder blue to a sky blue. There are greens and blue-greens as well.
