I won't use them but it's about time. Mechanicals are next or should be.

I think it's cool that we can use them, but not cool enough for me to change up all my gear. I'm finally well on my way to have it all dialed in...not going to go changing things now. Maybe if I need some new arrows some day, but I've got about 30 of them all the same now so I think they'll stay that way.

I am in the market for new arrows so I will probably give the lighted nocks a try. I like the idea that they will help me retrieve my arrow and see my arrow flight.

Won't use them.  Don't see the point and besides when I shoot a monster I want it to go into the pope & young book.

Same here. Adding 10 gr to my arrows doesn't seem like something I want to do, not to mention the $10 each.

I'm not interested in adding yet another cost to my arrows.

Pass.  Just another reason to take days away from us because "technology" has approved.  The presentation on the issue at the meeting was very disheartening.  Talk about slapped together.

While it is disheartening to think we may lose days in season over this, hopefully more wounded animals will be recovered as those who arent good at tracking will probably buy them? :dunno: So then possibly less guys injuring multiple deer and only bagging one?

Ive always thought they would be fun for target shooting with friends though.

Do you think that 10 grains per arrow would make your grouping different?

It sure will.  It will be more evident with broadheads.
