There are two companies I have used to make these nocks.

The major brand was Thill.

The other brand was Rod n Bobb's Beacon.

I found mine at Gander Moutain in the fishing department, alongside the bobbers.

Hope this helps.

Damn, I was in bps for hours today and totally forgot to look. I was too busy foaming at the mouth the whole time. [&:]

Dicks has the red and green Thill lights in the fishing section.
I could not find them at first, when I asked about them the guy behind the counter showed me where they were. He also said I was the 4th or 5th person looking for them.

You won't necessarily mess up the arrow because you will quickly know if it will work or not long before placing the nock inside the shaft. Where you will first finda problem is when you try and fit the Thill light into the inside of the nock.

I believe the inside diameter of the nock for the FMJ's will be a touch too small.

If you are able tobuy one Thill light (theymight have them at Wal-Mart, I just bought two more there the other night), you can test fit the light into the nock. I am assuming it will be too tight. The onlyother option would be to drill out the inside of the nock with a 5/32nd drill bit. Justbe careful when drilling the nock. Don't drill beyond the shaft of the nock either.

I am looking at the Easton website, the "X" nock, which is recommended for use with the FMJ'sjust appears to be too small in diameter. You could try thedrillnonetheless.

Overall, the worse thing that could happen would either be you can't use the$3.00 light (I know they will fit nocks for your Gold Tip XT shafts)or you ruin a nock.

Hope this helps,

Very cool Bols, nice job.

I shoot ACC's..I'm out of luck when it comes to lighted nocks...

No you're not Rob, they are easy to make for A/C/Cs and you get to keep your uni-bushing/g-nock setup. You will have to remove your uni-bushing to install the dowel, then just reinstall it with hot melt. The Thill light will slip right downthrough the uni-bushing
