Lighted Nocks, Legal in IL? Your state?
 
Buckmark sent me a PM regarding my statement about lighted nocks being illegal in IL.

If I remember correctly, I read it here, or it was told to me on here but also, my outfitter last year in IL told me that lighted nocks were not legal so I did not use them.

I wonder however because I've seen TV "celebs" use them on their shows in IL and I wondered why they would be blatantly breaking the law, or are they?

Anyone clarify the legalities of lighted nocks in IL. How about your state?

I know they are legal in PA.

not sure about IL but i know you can't enter your buck into Pope & Young if you used a lighted knock.

Not legally....lol.

Be realistic.....how many are gonna lie?

Completely legal in NC.

Went over the Illinois regs again and still no mention of lighted nocks being illegal.

I'm not too sure about IL.

OK for KY, illegal in AK, and I haven't looked up IN or AZ regs yet. Odds are, I won't be shooting em this season anyway.

Christine, did this change last year? Again, my outfitter/guide told me they were illegal and I swear I read it here too.

Sorry Buckmark if I listed bad information in that thread. Interesting.

Hey Rob, Nothing to be sorry for. The hunting regs vary so much from state to state, hard enough to know your own states regs, let alone some others as well. Anyway it gave me a good reason to run over them to see if anything major did change...
