I've not hunted with mine yet, but more than one person here has had trouble seeing the front sight in low light conditions due to the hood which can't be removed since it holds the sight insert. There are numerous options for the front sight since it uses a 3/8" dovetail, I would opt for a Firesight front and use the WGRS without an aperture as sureshot recommended or a Williams Twilight aperture, I've used both on muzzleloaders and they work extremely well.
