Not saying I care for them, but do you still have the tool to turn them off? If so, wanna get rid of it?

I switched to them recently... I love them. They fly great, they are really bright and I've had no issues turning them on or off.  I had one bad shot trying to get my sights moved and shot about a hundred yards behind my house into the brush and searched for a half hour trying to find my arrow and gave up.  Right at dark I looked out my window and at about 200 yards could see that nock shining bright, I was amazed how bright it was.

I am using it to instal/uninstall the X nocks that fit tight because it works for those too. Got one of the regular nock tools you wanna trade?

I shoot the luminoks and have had ok results.  The little tool works good.  Went with red last year but will be switching colors.  When your red light gets covered in blood, you can't see it during daylight.  At least that was my experience with an elk and a deer last year.

They're fun to shoot. Go target shoot in the late evening it's pretty fun to watch. I use a knife point to shut them off. I won't use last years-just buy a new pack of 3. I like the theory of being able to find the arrow. I haven't noticed a difference in accuracy up to 50 yards, but I haven't shot a group with them. Don't like destroying my arrows anymore.
