Nice link , looks like it might work , better design than the luminock IMO . I wonder how much weight it adds to the back of the arrow

RE: Lighted arrow nock
 

Hey, thanks for the link. I think I'll try making a couple. It looks like it shouldn't be too hard to make.

You guys are welcome,id say if you use feathers it should balance itself out.Best thing to do would be to order the light ,build it and then weigh it.

Great link but not as easy as it looks that glue part is very tricky. if you get the smallest dab of glue lower than the headof the light your screwed might as well throw it out it wont work. What I did was everything except the glue on the inside the nock. The only difference is after shooting you have to remove the nock to turn off. For practice why bother turning it off? In a hunting situation you want it to stay on anyway. These suckers are much brighter than lumenocks and are much more durable. Also try local tackle shops I found mine there saved the shipping which kills you with cabelas paid $2.85. Good luck

I posted somewhere else that maybe someone should make a short video clip of the nocks in action.(just a thought)

thnx for the message. SInce wally world in bowling green ky doesnt feel the need to carry these bobber lights looks like cabelas here i come...definitley something i wanna do tho.

RE: Lighted arrow nock
 

I just made 4 of these. they work great. I don't drill the hole or put the stopper on the end. I just glue the light right in the nock. I turn them on when I'm ready to shoot, and turn them off afterwards. Work perfect. The red ones are much brighter than the green ones. I haven't tried the yellow yet.

great post! i just made one tonight for about $3 i bought the rod n bobbs beacon yellow light and put it in the orange flourescent nock i already had. took me about 15 min cuz i wanted to be sure everything was dry. i havent tried it out yet, but it seems to work fine, thanks again, these should be helpful and at 1/3 the price, if it works, im gonna make another one tomorrow.
