Sgt. Alvin York, God rest his soul, happened to prefer the open sights of the original 1903 pattern rifle he trained on over the aperture sights available on the 1917 rifle he was issued, therefore trading back to the 1903 while overseas. He felt it was much easier to track a moving target over the flat plane of the more traditional sight as compared to the restrictive circle of space one is forced to consider while sighting through the aperture arrangement. He seems to have done quite well for himself considering such an unenlightened judgement of the matter.
My grandfather was quite an East Tennessee chunk gun/turkey shoot guy prior to and after the war to end all wars, and competed against Mr. York on many occasions. It was his opinion the Alvin York was the most accomplished natural shot he had ever met, as well as a very fine Christian man. I would take both of those old soldier's opinion's as valid.
I personally can do about as well with regular open sights as I can with a peep. We once had a Cuban of unknown moral character let alone parentage, lob rounds at us from approximately 400 yards with a very standard AK. While I do not believe he was really capable of clipping anyone's shirt buttons off at that range, I sure as hell was not going to get up and taunt him with a chicken dance A. because in my youth I was much too handsome to have been perforated by a Godless communist, and B, because I look silly while performing the chicken dance. It was very rude, and he stopped after a bit.
Those sights will work just fine for the platform and it's intended role.
