The Creedmore tang sights used on Sharps rifles were of three heights, depending on the yardage. The lowest, short-range sight was good to 300 yards, mid-range to about 600 yards and long-range, about 1,200 yards.
At very long range, with rear sight elevated nearly to its limit, it was important to keep the rifle completely level to maintain accuracy. Consequently, front globe sights were often fitted with a spirit level so that the shooter could see that the bubble was centered and the gun was level before he touched the trigger.
