lumeanock
 

At bass pro shop online they have horton cb arrows with lumeanocks already installed.Is there a small button you press on nock to turn it on???And judging by the picture at bass pro is it flat nock or half moon?and does that make a difference in accuracy?(im using half moon currently)
Lastly has anyone used them before??

Thanks,

No there is not a small button that turn it on. It has two small wire contacts that are at the base of the nock that activate the light. Before the arrow is shot, the nock is pulled out of the back of the arrow just enough so that the contacts do not touch the shaft. When the bow is fired, the nock gets pushed into the arrow and as a result the contacts touch the back of the arrow and the nock lights up. As far as accuracy, no you will not loose accuracy, however they do weigh more than the standard nock which can effect your point of impact compared to the standard nock. I have used them a bunch. They are excellent for seeing your point of impact on an animal and for finding your arrow. They also show up on video very well. The only thing is that they do not always work. (from my experience) and if you practice with them all year long, the battery will go dead. I like the easton Tracer nock better because you can turn it off and on, and not waste the battery. http://crossbownation.com/community/...ead.php?t=1832

From Cabela's website:

The Lumenok lights up instantly with shot inertia, and stays lit, so you can track your arrow to your target and find it easily after dark. Glows for up to 40 hours or until switched off.

I tried the lumeanock and did not findthem reliable sometimesthey would light in flight and go out whenthey hit andthey arenot fastened to the shaft you have to pull it back every shot and the wires cut slots on the back of your shaft.
The tracer will be what I try next, they turn on and off with a magnet and i think you can glue them in.

I looked into the lumeanock and tracer and decided on the tracer because in my mind I like the ON/OFF setup better. The tracer also started to BLINK after 15 seconds. The tracer I have is the one produced before Easton got a hold of the company (they own them now). I have never had a problem with them, they have always turned on once the magnet was positioned properly.

Good luck.
