I tried the CLEAN SHOT "NOCK OUT" yesterday - It broke on the first shot.  The plastic nock came unglued and popped off -

POS

That isn't good.  I have not had that problem.

Maybe a got a lemon, it’s too bad.  It has some nice features and is very bright but if it does not hold together it isn’t of much use.

How many have you tested? 1/2 dozen or more?  just curious.....yes reliability is important for confidence.  I only tested a couple in the clean shot shop.

Just FYI you will need to probably add some weight up front to maintain your arrow FOC as the illuminated nocks are typically ~10grn heavier than the normal plastic ones.

I have luminocks in red gut shoot GT arrows, not sure if they are avail for your's..

Yea I ended up getting nockturnal. Red. My foc with reg knock is 13.9% and with lighted knock is 12.2% so I'm good either way. Both with 100gr. Savoras!

Awesome, what arrow length and overall weight?  I would love to be 12.2% FOC with nockturnals and 100G tips.

Arrow length is 31" from throat of knock to end of arrow excluding insert. Total arrow weight of 433 gr. and total arrow length with Insert and broadhead is 33.25"

I just tried out some reds, what a difference! Did a 3d course and using both arrows to compare with, I'm always going to use lit nocks (where legal) for hunting. Made such a huge difference when shooting around trees with all the different shadows, unlit were lost halfway to target a few times, lit were clear through impact. No guessing where your arrow went enroute or on target.
