Lighted Nocks?

[Arrow]

How many of you guys use the lighted nocks and what are the pro's and con’s of using them? If I wanted to use them on just a couple arrows would they fly the same or different from the ones without? 

[brianmtsinc]

I love them.  They fly the same for me, BUT, unfortunately they are illegal for hunting..... but they do help me train my eye to follow the arrow after I release

Uh oh... Here we go again...

I have shot them but never used them on game animals. They shoot just fine.

[Arrow]

Yes I was talking about practice shooting only. Just think it would be cool to see them fly

does an arrow fly through the woods if no one sees it? i dont use them but i think its completely stupid we cant.

[alwinearcher]

They are fun to shoot..
They will fly slightly diffrent then an arrow with a standard nock but not enough diffrent for
Most to notice.

I read on another thread about all the pro's these lighted nocks provide.  Wonder why they are not legal in WA?

The WA law states that you can't have anything electric mounted to your bow or arrow.  I believe it is because WDFW feels it gives you an unfair advantage to have lighted nocks, rangefinders, electric sights, etc.

[sebek556]

its becuase they want you to loose more arrows in the woods so you have to buy more and they get more taxes from it.. duh all the depo o fish and wildlife cares about anymore is $$$$

I just tape a flashlight facing backwards on my arrows.  That way I can rip it off real quick if a game warden shows up.

Because wdfw doesn't think we are smart enough to differentiate between electronic nocks and electronic laser range finders....   

Or maybe the ones that write the regs can't figure out the right words to use....

I took one of the Eyes In The woods class and as the game wardens running the class explained the reasoning behind not electronics attached to the bow or arrow was because archery hunting is suppose to be a more primative meathod of hunting and adding electronics strays away from that. There maybe be a lot of benefits and very few disadvantages to them, but i guess the line has to be drawn somewhere.

Also unless it has changed recently you cannot qualify a deer in the pope and young if you harvested it with the lighted nocks. Not that that makes the deer any less of a trophy.
