Illuminock?
 

Has anyone used Illuminocks?
How do they affect your arrow?
Is it woth the added weight?
Is it worth the $$$ ?

RE: Illuminock?
 

Someone on this board used them recently. He said they were heavy but they were really cool to watch.

RE: Illuminock?
 

That was me. They only added 18 grains to my arrow and I've had no negative flight effects out to 35 yards. They are awesome when shooting at game though. Forr hunting, I'll never go back to non lighted nocks. I use THESE.

Here's a pic of my arrows. 3 with/3 without

logs (another member) is also very well versed on those nocks. Shoot him an email. I'm sure he'll help you.

Cool pics of your nocks...... How did the weight affect your F.O.C?

RE: Illuminock?
 

If your asking me what my FOC is with the nocks installed, I don't know yet. I just got these arrows and I haven't measured it yet. Obviously it has moved to the rear, but like I said I have no problem with flight or grouping out to 35 yards (that's about as far as I can shoot in the back yard). Since I usually try to keep my shots on deer to 30 yards or less, that's good enough for me.

How long do they stay lit, and do you ever need to change batteries if they have one?

RE: Illuminock?
 

Stump shooter I use Tracer nocks. Same basic thing, different manufacture or distributor.
Yes they do add weight to your arrow but I had no problem with arrow flight and grouping.

I Elk and Whitetail hunt so I have pins out to 45 yards for Elk hunting. The arrows grouped well out to 50 yards with the nocks with no major drop off in trajectory. The is some but not enough to concern me. At 0 to 30 yards with a modern compound it is not significant.

I took my Elk this last fall in ID with the Tracer nocks at 33 yards. They worked great.
I made my own weighted nocks so I could practice with the same weight at the nock and not burn up batteries or shoot nock off.
Im sure Luminocks are alos very good.

Thei are supper cool to see on flight:D
If you have any further question fell free to e-mail me or ask here.

RE: Illuminock?
 

The ones I have will stay lit for about 40 hours before the batteries die. You have to turn them off manually. The Tracer nock brand has 2 different styles. One called a target model stays on for 30 seconds after activation and the other stays on until it is manually turned off. I have shot both brands and the only drawback I see to the Tracer brand is the weight. The ones for my ACC 3-60's weigh in at a healthy 51 grains where as the BC Lumenoks are 31 grains.
