My game is (Olympic) skeet. I find the front bead very important to have. For going away targets I really use it to point. For the other targets I always know where it is.
The only time I look at the front and mid bead is when practising gun mount or shooting a low going away target to check alignment. Other than that, I don't notice them 
They are like a barbed wire fence for collecting sheep wool !

Was always told LOOK AT THE TARGET, and it seems to work for me, as soon as I see the bead I miss the target.

My bead is a very important part of my sight picture (I shoot sporting.) I definitely use it on going away targets but I'm aware of it on every target that I shoot and I'd hate to be without it. I don't look at the bead but I am aware of where it is in relation to the target.
I did some coaching work with a guy who took the beads off all of his guns, I didn't like it but could still hit the targets.

One time while shooting dove in SA I started missing for no reason I could figure. After awhile I noticed the front bead of the gun was missing. I never pay any attention to the beads if the gun fits but apparently I must do so subconsciously.
