RE: Need Help With Lumen Nocks

Let me embellish on what Dave posted. The problems encountered may be both the fault of the Luminok manufacturer and the arrow manufacturer. I think it might lie more in the realm of the arrow manufacturers, which really isn't completelytheir problem.

It's all about tolerances. Luminok is building a part that is probably more specific to one or two standard carbon manufacturers. The problem is that they may have to be modified for the four or five other carbon manufacturers. While most seem to control the O.D. to 19/64", they are NOT compelled to a specific I.D.. Some have to increasethe wall thickness to achieve spine levels. This will hamper the effective use of the Luminok.

What Dave saw me doing was modifying the Luminok to fit certain arrows - and it was a little frustrating. Then he saw me trying to get the Luminok to operate at varying clocking positions. This required 'dressing' the back of the arrow to facilitate this fault.

For instance, while the 'X' nock Luminok will fit the Axis, it may have to be modified to fit the Axis FMJ. Actually, they may even have to be modified to fit differing 'lots' of Axis.[:@]

Anyway, that's about as much information as I care to give about this subject. They can be a good product if they fit correctly.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
