Whadda you folks think about full buckhorn sights?

I grew up with the typical "semi- buck horns on several .22s and my dad's Monkey Wards 303-30. Started using full buck horns when I started shooting and building
loaders. I have found that I could use the horns part as a large peep or ghost ring sight for hitting a fast moving jack rabbit with my percussion rifle. I could also "draw a fine bead" by sinking the front sight into the small notch at the bottom of the horns.
Is this how they were intended to be used?
