摘要
The shooting scores of police recruits with night sights and without night sights were compared in four different lighting conditions: front-lighted target, back-lighted target, with a flashlight, and intermittent lights. The shooting scores of the recruits with night sights were significantly higher for the four conditions. Night sights improved the scores of both skilled and less skilled shooters. Shooting with a flashlight significantly decreased the accuracy, regardless of the type of flashlight.
