If it requires power, it's a no-go!

Which is to bad I would love to have them with the stabilizer cam taking video

you can make them with mini glo sticks but they are not as bright but still work decent. if you really wanted to use lighted nocks, its dumb that they don't let us use them but o well 

[cwuwildcat]

I'm not sure of what harm a lighted nock would be.  I don't see any benefit it making the shot it would give.  The only thing it helps is seeing the arrow in flight, which by then is too late to help the shot.  It would also help with the recovering of the arrow, but neither give the hunter an advantage with making the shot.

[washelkhntr]

Very true, but like everything else with the WDFW, alot of things make no sense.

"...every arrow and bolt..."

Now there is a man who recognizes a difference! My hat is off to you, Sundance.

Ok I don't want to start a bash, and I know on the RES. its different, but I saw a bear hunt on tv in Wa on the RES. and the guy shot a bear with a lighted nock.  Must be ok.  Just wondering?

Reservations are a separate nation.  They make their own laws. WA laws do not apply.

Washington law: "It is unlawful to have any electrical equipment or electric device(s) attached to the bow or arrow while hunting."

"Uncle Ted" was on Rez. I called WDFW and was told that he was on rez near coast to film his hunt. Guess its OK for right price Oh and he was over bait to. If legal I have no problem with either just litl upset by blaten disregard for laws

passing-thru,

Although it doesn't get talked about much, I believe in Washington baiting is only illegal for bear. Or perhaps I should say that I've been told on several occasions that it's a common misconception that baiting for deer is illegal in this state. However, since I have no personal interest in using that method I've never really looked into it any further.

a lighted nock does make it easier to find an arrow. Tested during the off season, outside near 1 of our hunting areas w/partner assisting.

:> shot into a block target (20-30-40-50 yd distances) just to check accuracy and flight with added weight of the Firenocks, all good! No adjustment needed and FOC & same flight-groupings maintained.
:> up in a treestand, purposely shot under 40 yard & 50yd target into a small hill> grass-foilage-some briars. EZ to find.

but adding an arrow wrap-fletched end (my arrows are bright white wrapped) does help find the arrow but not as effective as the blinking light.

I know a lot of people that bait deer and it seems to be perfectly legal.
