Lighted Knocks

Say what you want, but man I think they are just cool!

I'm going to use them for whitetails this year. I'd use'm for elk, but they are illegal in Idaho.

Anyone else use them?

Diane · Aug 16, 2013

I used them one year. It was okay, but not great enough to use them again. :smiley_coolpeace:

I use nocturnals. I got some of the new launchpads from carbon express but they don't fit my arrows. Ill bring them to the swap meet at strouds if anybody is interested.

Wonder why they are illegal? Seems to be of no actual advantage when it comes to killing animals, just recovering them.

They're a crutch that covers up weakness of the eyes.

Ah, should've have seen that. I must have weak eyes to go with my other glaring weaknesses.

I like Nockturnals. Lighted nocks make it easier to find misdirected arrows.

Fig leaf and improvised weapon....done.

Beats the hell outta me. I'm actually surprised they aren't illegal in PA. PA has some of the gayest hunting regulations in the country.

You know now that I think about it, I had better check to see if they are illegal in PA. If you can't hunt squirrels with a semi auto .22 and have to wear an orange hat while walking during archery season then lighted knocks might be illegal here too. I'll get back with ya........

They're illegal???? Guess it's a good thing I wasn't smitten with them. :smiley_blackeye:

I like having my arrows forward of center balance. If I used a lighted nock I would have to move to a heavier point.

Because the northwestern US has a bunch of dumb hunting rules. In Washington you cant have a light on your pins, expandable BH are illegal, lighted nocks were illegal until this year, you cant hunt an area that you used a trail cam in for 45 days. They also have a crazy formula for determining your arrow weight by your draw weight and draw length... to be legal in Washington I have to shoot a 460ish total gr arrow out of my compound. That's just a few the stupid rules. The rule book here is as thick as the whole hocking county telephone book.

My bad. Got my coffee fix and realized you were talking about another state. :smiley_baby:

Most of them dont weigh much more than a regular nock. The carbon express launch pads are 18 grain.

With the nocturnals, i dont see any difference in flight compared to regular nocks. At least out to 30 yards which is my typical practice yardage.

Erin12Nicole · Aug 28, 2013

I figured the mods would catch it and move it. Since it is Ron's daughter and she is a newbie I didn't say anything. Lol
