Narrative:
I was shooting a night; VMC visual to runway 36R at tul. We were cleared for the visual approach while on a wide downwind. I turned final outside the marker and was angling towards the marker. I discerned at some point that I was low and intended to shallow my descent to stay above 1400 feet; when we received a single 'obstacle' alert and immediately executed the go around. We returned for another visual approach and landing; both of which were uneventful. This was my first night visual approach as PF since a 3 month period out of the cockpit. I flew a sloppy approach; what I should have done was fly this approach like it was IMC. I did a poor job of using the RNAV information for backup.
