sounds like my basic training with an Ak rifle, 40 years ago.
We had tracers (every 6th or 8th round), though, and our targets has little lights to simulate muzzle flash, and we had some kind of tritium on the front sight post.
I was doing just fine until i stepped into a rabbit hole, dropped forward twisting my ankle, sprayed a couple of bullets in the ground  and spent 2 weeks working in the kitchen with a cast on my foot.

Here's an idea for ya'll in KY: if you don't shoot well you shall peel taters for 2 weeks.

Back in the summer during our annual qualifications, I spoke with Loonyville Metro's current firearms training staff about weapon mounted lights. Back when I was in the training unit of the old LPD, I managed to get lights approved as an option. Now they are required for all new hires.
They are restricted to 2 brands of lights and a specific holster, and are trained not to use the trigger finger to activate the light to prevent NDs.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
