Not a fan of a globe front for hunting. Works fine for high contrast targets at the range, but for me, it just doesn't let enough light through. I took my tang and globe sighted high wall mule deer hunting & had a buck at about 125 yds in the open on an overcast day with brush behind him. Could not see deer through the globe. I could see him if the globe wasn't covering him but could not get a sight picture to take the shot. The globe front (Lyman I think) was equipped with a thin post. That was a "few" years ago when I was in my mid-40s and didn't need bifocals. Your eyes are different than mine, but test your setup in real life hunting conditions before you head afield. I pulled the globe and replaced it with a silver blade and get a much better sight picture.
