I want to try lumenocks this year but did anyone have to shoot a bigger weight broadhead to compensate for the 22 added grains at the nock end? With the lumenock, my FOC is around 8.5%.To get an acceptable FOC of almost 11% I need to add a 125 gr head. That puts my arrows at around 420 grains and at 60 lbs I don't want that kinda weight because I'm already at around 250 fps.

Before I go and buy them, didn't anyone notice any tuning issues when they used a lumenock?

I'm also trying luminocks for the first time this year,,,,,,I've heard they fly the same and I shot mine a few times and it shot fine, I've heard though that if you hit a deer 9 time out of 10 it's going to shut the light off, not sure if this is true will find out though.

I shoot A/C/C 3-60s and have noticed no flight problems with them. I also have never had one turn off after shooting an animal either.

Mike, I also shoot the 3-60, and didn't realize they would fit in them. I suppose you had to take the uni bushing out, right? What other steps did you need to do so they fit?

if you are worried about added, than shoot blazers to even out difference. I didn't notice any difference with lumenock

I shoot the blazers. I guess I'll give it a try and see how they shoot.

Yes you haveto remove the uni-bushing. I then took a .22 cal brass bore cleaning brush and attached it to a cordless drill and cleaned up the inside of the arrow. They work like a champ. There was a couple that I had to lightly sand to get them to fit just right. I have also made some homemade ones that use a wooden dowel inside the arrow with a red thill light that allows me to keep the uni-bushing and G-nock. So far they have worked out suprisingly well but they are not as bright as the Lumenoks.
