Its a real aesy wat to make your own lighted nocks for about $3.50 a piece. I just made my first one and it works great. I bought the bobber and light at my local bait shop for $7 but I found just the replacement lights online for $3.49.

Guys.....they're $9 (lumenoks) and they last a while. Why would you want to build your own?
Just curious?????
If you count your time and fuel costs (along with your materials and tools).....what have you really saved?

GMMAT..you can buy crested arrows & longbows etc etcand such too..why make'em yourself. It's fun, it's a hobby. I've made lighted nocks it's cheap and easy.
Plus the ones I bought didn't last nearly as long.

I guess $72 a dozen. Assuming lumenocks cost $9 a piece, that you have the tools, and that you pickup the materials while you're already at the store shopping for other things.
Never really used either. But I do know that they may come in handy. The other day I wasshooting at the club at a Buffalo Target at about 60 yards over a ravine. Couldn't see where the arrows were impacting from where I was standing.

I enjoy making them as well.
I did have a problem with glueing the junction together, I like the idea in the second link to drill a hole in the side of the nock.
Thanks for the links

And I agree that they do come in handy. I appreciated having mine when I was sighting in my new bow a month ago.

Cool, I guess, Bob.....that'd be $6 a yr if you only used one!
As you can probably tell, I also go through a lot of arrows. I'll usually bust/bend one everytime few times that I go to the club.
