Lumenoks
 

Grabbed 2 of them the other day at Gander Mountain and I have been kicking myself ever since for not getting them sooner.

These things are absolutely amazing...........has to be one of the coolest gadgets I have ever used. Couple that with the value of helping you track your shot and find your arrow............and it's probably the best $10 a bowhunter could spend.

Recommend them 100%

RE: Lumenoks
 

I like them also, I like to be able to see how my arrows are flying when tuning my bow.

RE: Lumenoks
 

What took you so long? I thought you were up on all the fancy gadgets. I like em too. Have you ever tried a WB?:D

RE: Lumenoks
 

I, too, bought a couple of them a few weeks ago. I, too, wonder what took me so long. They are definitely the coolest accoutrement I've added this year.

RE: Lumenoks
 

same here, trying them for the first time this season. looks like a
machine gun tracer when shot. i have not noticed them changing
the way my arrows fly either.

RE: Lumenoks
 

they are great.

RE: Lumenoks
 

how much do they weigh and are they hard to put on?does it affect you flight at all or does it require re tuning?

RE: Lumenoks
 

Am I the only one that thinks they will possibly cause you to raise your head and "peek" to see the arrow and ruin correct follow thru?

RE: Lumenoks
 

I share that concern or thought as well.

RE: Lumenoks
 

I make my own for $2.50 and it takes about 5 minutes to do.

RE: Lumenoks
 

Antler lets hear a simple way to make our own.

RE: Lumenoks
 

Well , it's would be easy to show you but not as easy to tell you. Let me see what I can come up with.

RE: Lumenoks
 

Don't know........always thought they looked cool and were a nice idea......just never seemed to grab them. Now I wish that I had.


Not really a "gadget" guy..........but I don't mind a couple here and there.




Oh yea..........I have beeen shooting one for years. Great rest.

RE: Lumenoks
 

Come on antler, You Aint leaving us hanging like this.

I FEEL THE SAME WAY, I BOUGHT ONE TO SEE HOW IT WOULD DO AND CHECK ARROW FLIGHT. AFTER ABOUT SIX SHOTS I WAS READY FOR MORE. I NOW HAVE THREE MORE TO FINISH OUT MY HUNTING ARROWS.

RE: Lumenoks
 

I shot a few arrows this past weekend w/ them and they seem to be great. Have to see how they are in low light hunitng situations. I imagin I will learn to love them.

RE: Lumenoks
 

I tried one, it was hit or miss whether it lit or not when shot and also petered out pretty quickly! Hope I just had a dud. Like the idea!

Come on antler teach us oh wise one!

RE: Lumenoks
 

I got them last January and love them. I would expect they have lots of uses, seeing your broken off arrow when looking for your animal during revovery after dark, seeing the arrow in the ground after a shot for blood/hit inspection, maybe even seeing that glowy tip on a downed animal after dark during recovery trail. Bust most of all I think its seeing the arrow flight after a shot.

RE: Lumenoks
 

Plus.........I think they are a useful tuning guide. I like my arrows to fly as flat as can be. These noks really show arrow flight well.

RE: Lumenoks
 

are they hard to put on...do you need any special tools?

RE: Lumenoks
 

EASY AS PULLING OUT OLD NOCK AND PUSHING IN NEW!

RE: Lumenoks
 

i know that...i meant as far as lining up the nocks with the fletching. Do you just eyeball it?

RE: Lumenoks
 

Anything yet? I am also intrested in these homemade lumeknoks.

RE: Lumenoks
 

Anyone know what they weigh in at?

RE: Lumenoks
 

Nevermind... Found it- 22gr.

RE: Lumenoks
 

I have been looking at these things for a while now.
They look like they could be very helpfull in finding you arrow after a not so sure of a shot.
After reading a few of these post .
I may just give them a try:eek:

RE: Lumenoks

Heres a video clip of a archery hog hunt I filmed in Florida this past March with my friend Rod Luke and Captain Mark Bennett. We met Mark when we hired him a few years ago to guide us Tarpon fishing in Florida. At that time he was not a hunter and had little interest in getting into it. Well after a few more fishing trips and lots of talk he bought a Hoyt Trycon, learned how to shoot it and well the next step is on the video clip.It was Captain Bennetts first bowkill and really caught the excitement that goes hand in hand with a bowhunters first kill. Captian Bennett had a lumennock and while it was a little light and not as bright as the video they shot the other day it was still pretty cool.
If you look close at the picture below you can see Bennett'slumenock sliding into the pigs heart. It was a perfect shot!

Heres the video they shot the other evening. This is bright!

Here is a thread on AT that has info on homemade stuff, including lighted nocks. Hope it helps.
