Odd, back when I was trap alot I seem to remember lining up the front and mid beads with the pigion aka aiming my single shot Remington 870. Thease days I use both the front and rear sighrs on my 37 Deerslayer.
The mid bead was meant to check for proper gun mount in clay sports that allowed a pre-mounted gun (American Skeet/Trap). You mounted the gun on your hold point, checked the beads to see if they were stacked on top of each other (forming a figure 8) which ensured the gun was properly mounted, then shifted your focus to the house and called for the bird.
Generally don't see mid beads on guns strictly for low gun shooting (hunting, International skeet/trap, etc.) as you don't have time to be screwing around. You either mount the gun right or you don't.
