lumenocks
I would just like to know the true purpose of these things. I understand that the light can help you detemrine where your shot went, but I have the same effect with regular nocks. I shoot a fluorescent (sp?) green knock and have no problem determining where my shot hit. Any ideas?

You won't ever lose your arrow if it gets dark...because the light is so bright. They are also much more easier to see than the regular nocks when you shoot....Let's just say my dad watched me shoot my lumenock arrow the other day, and he told me it looked like a tracer bullet shot out of a gun. Bottom line: more visibility.

RE: lumenocks
I don't have any, but I want to get some, I've heard nothing but good things. I shoot neon pink outta mine with white fletching, it's not too hard to find unless it's buried in 12" grass like mine was at the 3d archery shoot I was in 2 weeks ago... SHEESH!

RE: lumenocks
The only difference is installation. They have a small dowell pin that you glue inside the arrow to push in the plunger when you shoot it. That plunger turns the flame off and on. Yes, they are VERY bright. I've used both, and the A'sF is twice as bright as the lumenok.

RE: lumenocks
Another option is making your own. I'll be trying this out when my next check comes in the mail, though I can't hunt with them. One of Washington's more ridiculous game laws, nothing electronic is allowed on your archery equipment, which includes arrows.

RE: lumenocks
i got them and they are really awsome. i thought i could see my arrows well but with these its so much easier and i think itll help you from dropping the bow to see the shot. i tried a CX lighted nock first on my wife arrows cause it was right there at wal-mart and it didnt work properly. got a real lumenock and an xnock for myself and i absolutely love it. i also like the idea that i can use a little more camo like fletch or feather and still see the arrow cause when you have birght fletch and esp with wraps they do stick out.
