Luiminocks Question
 

I know luminocks light up , Trigger, at the shot, and they have a "lite up life" , but how long do they last and how do they "turn off" after you fire them the first time. It would seem to be a waste if they couldnt be "turned off " somehow and they stayed lit until they "died". And what are everyone general impression of them. Are they just an expensive gimmick or is there a real world application making them a good investment?

the lumenocks have 2 prongs where it meets the shaft of the arrow when u shoot, the force of the shot presses the prongs to contact and turn the light on to turn it off u just back the nock out a little and it turns off i've shot one for bout a month every other day for practice and it still works so i cant give an exact answer for how long it last

stay safe and good luck

40 hours is the stated life. They work jus as stated above, you can turn them off when you want to. I think they are worth every penny.

RE: Luiminocks Question
 

I think there alright, dont really like the way they dont stay tight in the arrow. to easy for it to spin and mess up vane alignment

RE: Luiminocks Question
 

They are junk. They don't stay in place on the arrow and the vane alignment issues are just rediculous. The only reason for a product like this is to see your arrow during/after your shot.

Well.........

If you are having problems seeing your arrow during flight....GOOD! That means your bow is fast! Congratulations!

If you can't see your arrow on the target....change your fletchings.

If you are shooting at night...shame on you. Hunting season closed an hour ago!

Think that just about says it all

RE: Luiminocks Question
 

that pretty much summed it up for me, i guess. I will not be wasting my money. Thanks for the frankness and honesty.

RE: Luiminocks Question
 

I had two a couple years ago. One worked most of the time the other was hit or miss, so I stopped using them. Maybe they improver them by now.

RE: Luiminocks Question
 

I use green/white fletchings with a green/white arrow wrap, plus a green nock. Hard to see shooting in my back yard...but shows up like gold when shooting at a deer.

I have fluro yellow wrap with fluro orange and white blazers and i can see them fine

RE: Luiminocks Question
 

I have been trying the luminocks this year and they work fine for me. They did a little re-desingning on them for 06. They provide strips that you can use to tighten up your nocks if your nock fit is a little loose and they say they know this might be and issue on some arrrows, especially goldtips.All you have to do to break the contact and turn of the nock is to take the nock in between your thumb and forefinger and wiggle it a little and it will turn off. You don't have to pull the nock out to turn it off as I could see how this would mess up your fletching position settings. I think they are pretty nice, and I will use them especially for evening hunting. GOod luck.

RE: Luiminocks Question
 

only real prolbem i had with them is they are heavier than a regular knock so it shoots a little different.

RE: Luiminocks Question
 

Loose nocks = poor accuracy
luminocks = junk

That is if you want to hit what you aim at , if you have a hunting program on tv and hunt game farms from a ground blind at ten yards accuracy is not that critical and lighted nocks make "pretty video"

RE: Luiminocks Question
 

I think they would encourage people to "look" after the arrow is released. This, of course, will ruin your follow thru.

I don't have to see my arrow hit the deer, as long as it does.
