Default illuminated capture nocks ?

Need some info on capture nocks Parker Bows say they want me to use the capture nocks only. I can't find illuminated capture nocks, since I like the advantages of using illuminated nocks any suggestions ? Anybody got any ideas on another way to find your arrow in the dark ?

There are no illuminated capture nocks at this time as far as I know. As far as finding the bolt or arrow in the dark, about all that I can suggest is what I have done .... I use a bright colored fletching. It would be interesting to know why fletching makers do not offer a somewhat reflective vane. Something that would "shine" when a flashlight beam hits it. I'd use them in a heart beat.

Yea glow in the dark paint maybe, I hunt a transition area a power line between woods and field lost many arrows in the briars and stuff growing in the power line or under the leaves.
shooting through the deer is still good though. Thanks for the response.

While they do not have lights in them..........

Zeon Fusion fetching by Norway are designed to act much like a fiber optic pin or gun sight.

The Zeons combined with a florescent wrap & matching nock would perhaps help as much as anything.

Firenocks are another possbile way to go. While they don't use the capture nocks sold by Parker they DO snap onto the string. I suspect that Parker is try'n to force folks to buy what they make. Greed I believe that is called........
