Great as in "easy to use, intuitive, and doesn't work against you"
Go ask anyone who shoots itons out past 100 yards, go see what all of them think about open sights
The front sight will be difficult to center properly, this isnt a video game where the post is always dead center in the notch or peep
The bigger the notxh or peep, the harder it is to perfectly center the post, this is why the ar has a small peep, amd a big peep
Also, please point out where i said "100" yards is long range
If you get so pissy when you dont get the answers you like, dont ask on am open forum

How do YOU define "great" at long range? Do you shoot from a rest? Offhand? Prone unsupported? What? What size target are you shooting at? Without specifics or parameters "good", "great", "bad" and "poor" mean nothing. BTW if beyond 100 yards for you is considered long range for a rifle, you're fixing to get laughed out of the room, unless you're shooting at a mouse or a cricket or something.
Open sights suck, objectively??? There is nothing objective whatsoever about that absolute statement. You don't like them, fine. DON'T USE THEM.
"If you were to cut the top part of an ar peep sight off, yes, it would effect your long range accuracy" PROVE IT. WHY would it affect long range accuracy? The front sight post would still be centered properly. Everything is not magically going to fall apart because there is a half circle (half-moon) now missing from the rear sight.

First of all there's no getting pissy sir, and not for nothing, but you've contributed next to nothing other than that you don't like the open sight idea. Ok. In a previous post I asked you to clarify what you considered longer range and you said past 100 yards. Do I have you wrong? If so fine, my apologies. What then, do you consider long range? Please clarify.
If it is easy to use for YOU, and NOT me, then what difference does it make to me that you like closed peep sights, or Acogs, or Eotechs, or whatever better than open peeps? What works for you might not work very well for me, or vice versa. Why does that bother you?
Take the small peep on an AR and cut the top part off (cut it in half)--leave the size alone--same small aperture, just now missing the top half. You're telling me that it is impossible that someone might shoot just as well if not better at the same distance with such a sight? I disagree.
Also, you act is if each individual person automatically centers the front sight in the rear peep 100% perfectly as it is--uh, no, they don't. They don't have to have it 100% microscopically precise either, they just have to be as close as they can reasonably get it centered by "eyeballing" it.
Why do you think no two people have a 100% perfectly identical zero on their iron sights? Sometimes it will be close enough that a person might be able to take another's rifle and qualify (pass) with it on a range, but everyone's eyes are a little bit different at least.
