The TruGlo TG-TG948ED Fat Bead transforms shotgun accuracy with its oversized 3mm dual-color fiber optic design that gathers maximum light for lightning-fast target acquisition. This premium sight upgrade delivers the visibility advantage competitive shooters and hunters demand when split-second accuracy matters most.
What Makes This Different
The 3mm fat bead design captures significantly more light than standard 2mm beads, creating a brighter, more visible sight picture in low-light conditions. The dual-color fiber optic construction allows shooters to select between high-contrast color combinations based on lighting conditions and background environments. Unlike basic metal beads that disappear in shadows, this fiber optic system maintains visibility from dawn to dusk.

- Oversized 3mm fiber optic bead for maximum light gathering and visibility
- Dual-color design with interchangeable red and green fiber optic elements

Field performance shows immediate improvement in target acquisition speed across hunting and competitive applications. Clay shooters report faster sight alignment on crossing targets, while waterfowl hunters benefit from enhanced visibility during early morning and late evening shoots. The fiber optic system maintains brightness consistency throughout temperature changes and maintains zero retention through thousands of rounds.
