I prefer a hooded front sight myself. I tend to shoot tighter groups with it, probably because of the fact that the hood seems to draw my eye to the sight better (Same as the white diamond on the marbles semibuckhorn rear sights) As for getting things hung in the hood, I have never had this happen. I don't try to joust with the bushes using my gun, and it would seem to me that if stuff was getting shoved into the sight hood (which doesn't have a very big opening) then it would also be shoved down the barrel. Pulling the trigger in that case would seem a little dangerous so me.
I was just curious if I was the only one.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
