When shooting on the range in the dark, there are several techniques you should try and see how they fit into your tactical tool box. Use the flashlight sparingly. If you don't need it, turn it off. It is a beacon showing the suspect exactly where you are standing.
If you shoot from behind a wall or barrier, direct your flashlight in such a way that the beam is not hitting your wall, it will only illuminate you to the suspect. When ducking behind cover to move or re-load, turn off your light. You should be able to re-load without watching what you do.
You should be able to use your flashlight to see the suspect, but you don't necessarily need to use the light to shoot. Once you determine the target, your light can be turned off so you can shoot with your night sights. Use your sights whenever you can for more accurate shooting; that's what the SGT Says.
