Lighted nocks now legal what do you think?

[kingfisher82]

What do y'all think?

[pianoman9701]

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

[jackelope]

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.

[vandeman17]

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.

[D-Rock425]

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.

[buckfvr]

Never been interested enough to even think about using them if/when legal......never see me with any.

[bobcat]

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

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

Now at least we all have the choice.

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? 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?

[dreamingbig]

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

[Johnb317]

I'm tempted to test out, but $$ And foc are concerns. There are a couple brands one is around 23 grains.
On the other hand it would make it easier to find an arrow.   
I do have this irrational fear that one day i will step on a broad head that wasn't recovered. 

[madmack76]

I think we should start deleting duplicate threads!!!!

[demontang]

I can tell you that out to 65-67 yards my arrows with and without group the same. Its nice to have them as a option I think it may lead to more animals recovered. They have saved me there cost already just during practice because arrow going through my target and tall grass equals a near imposible to find arrow Ive has passthroughs on animals and couldnt find the arrow which sucks.

I'd be surprized if they group the same with broadheads unless you opt for a heavier broadhead.

Exactly my thoughts, plus adjusting for foc shouldnt be too hard, there is many ways to compensate for the added weight of the lighted nocks. Easton has great videos on how to modify foc.
And you will probably have to use a bigger broadhead. Not a big deal unless you already have tons of money into sets.

Yeah I agree, bigger broadheads. I havent put much money into a full set yet so not a big deal for me.

Flame away! Isnt bow hunting suppose to be a more primitive way of hunting? Never bow hunted in my life but whats next a scope mount to?

To me its close quarters hunting more intimate, without the loud explosions of gunfire to interupt nature. You can miss and half the time your target doesnt even know its being shot at. And they do have 4x magnification sites for bows, theyre just not legal in this state.

[demontang]

It may be for critical in a short draw but I use 100gr heads with axis cut at 30" and I can stick two arrows side by side with field or broad heads I even have a ruined arrow from the broad head cutting down the side. I dont think id ever use a optic for archery but lighted nockes do nothing to make you more accurate.

[LBES]

Excellent!.. Glad this went through. I'm not going to jump on changing my setup, but there's no reason this (and expendables) should not be allowed.
