love mine I shot a doe last year at close to last light and wanted to stay in stand and see if a buck was dogging her. With the luminock I didn't have to wonder where the arrow was and worry about getting there wit hlight left to find it because I could see the light shining clear as day in the grass.
Will not effect your shooting at all.

Enjoy

Yes they weigh more....I had to re-sight once I changed to Lumenoks....and oh yea, the arrow list is on the package, but I wouldn't take much stock in that, because my GoldTips aren't listed, but they work just fine.

I love em... they are great for certain situations. I believe I have used them for 4 kills over the past couple of years. A great help

I never had to re-sight. It's something like 17gr difference (may be lower). My setup never noticed it.
