RE: LUMENOK
I just purchased a couple last week. In Practice seem to be awesome. Worked every shot and very very visible. Shot one doe complete pass through at dusk it was incredible. Necessary? Probably not but was easier to see point of entry no doubt. I was hooked. Last night shot at a huge doe at 30 yards but misjudged her and it was easy to see it go right over her back. But when it hit the ground I lost sight of it. Thought maybe it was under leaves or behind a large log that was behind the doe. Got down at dark walked over couldn't find it. Dont know if the knock flew off, or just is buried that good. I will go back tomorrow in the day light and look for the arrow. SO they are cool, but expect a few glitches. Nothings perfect.

RE: LUMENOK
Scott, I have been using Archers Flame for the past year. The lighted nocks are awesome. Here's the way I look at it. Good dozen of carbon arrows $120.00. Set of 3 broadheads $30.00. You have got about twenty bucks in one arrow. Shoot into a hay field and miss, one lost arrow unless you have a lighted nock. They work great for finding your arrow. Plus, you should see one of those things pass through a deer. I shot a buck close to end of shooting time and stood the arrow up right where it hit the dirt after the pass through. Went to get help to find the buck. By the time we got back it was dark but that nock looked like a beacon. We left the arrow right where it was and we could use it as a reference. It worked great. I also like practicing at dusk with these nocks. Looks like a tracer flying through the air. Try them. You'll be hooked. Alan

RE: LUMENOK
i have them and got them for my wife they are totally worth it. check to make sure they work when you buy them some people seemto have problems with them but i think this is usually caused by the back or the arrow not being cut square enough or it needs to be sanded lightly to remove any glue or anything like arrow wrap material.

Dang mobowhuntr, I had to look and make sure this wasn't a Scent Lok thread and that you weren't Atlasman.
I've had great sucess with Lumenoks and they are in every hunting arrow I own.

RE: LUMENOK
LOL....Sorry Mike, don't mean to be...[&:] I just really have a major dislike for lumenoks. I work at a pro shop and we have to send 75% of them back because they don't light up. When they do, they are really cool, no doubt. They also aren't very durable. Folks at our shop shoot them 15 or 20 times and they break. I've shot the crap out of the archers flames with no trouble.
Oh, and for the record, I am in NO WAY affiliated w/ them, I just like them alot.
