    True point of aim

    I am fairly  new to the sport and I wonder if someone could help to clarify something. To get a true point of aim if a shotgun was a rifle , what would the sight picture be like.? Is it the figure 8 with the top bead on the target, or do both beads have to line up on the target.  Thanks
