In training, I have shot on a dark range with a class of about 20 people. As you recall, the Texas CHL qualification course of fire has targets at 3 yds, 7 yds, and 15 yrds.
On a dark range without night sights, the class missed the entire IDPA-style target about 75% of the time at 3 yards and 95% of the time at 7 yards. When I say "dark range", I could just see what looked like a ghostly outline of the tan target. Could not see my gun at all.
With night sights, the entire class could reliably and easily place the shots on target -- right in the breadbox.
There is a reason that the phrase taking "a shot in the dark" entered popular culture as an expression for having absolutely no idea if the idea being expressed was on target or off target. You have to actually shoot in the dark to realize how true this phrase is.
You have clearly answered the OP's question.
