front sight /target preference

Greetings,

When I started shooting, waay back when, it was with a Sheridan Blue Streak that father had put a peep sight on for rear sight, and the front was a wide post.  That little air rifle put a lot of holes in the target box and accounted for a number of rabbits, squirrels, sparrows, and a few other critters.  I still use one for squirrels up here in Alaska.  As such, I became somewhat proficient with blade front sights, and still prefer them.  In fact, when I bought a Hastings Rifled Slug Barrel for my Remington 870, I took a stone and squared up the beaded front sight and it shoots great.  Between hitches in the regular Army, I shot one summer on a rifle team at Fort Ord after ROTC summer camp as I was planning on making a career in the Army after my first hitch going in under the draft option (I figured the pay was a lot better being commissioned and it was).  I shot well enough that I began my high power competition in the Master's Classification.  I always shot well enough in the Masters class, but never won a thing, always seemed to be two or three better than I.  I still prefer the bladed front sight whether using a leaf or peep rear sight.  For me the bead was just too inaccurate.  So, what do I use?  Blade (or post).  

     I have used circular front sights; shooting small bore competition used aperture circular front sights, shot fairly well with them and liked them, but for high power and hunting much prefer the front post out of aperture,
