 :yeah: Personally, I have a hard time seeing my arrow sticking out of the block at 50 yards so I'll give them a try for target practice and see where it goes from there...
I worry about belonging to a club that accepts people like me as members.

Not sure if I will, one more expense....  I can see advantages for spot and stalk hunting, especially small game, making it easier to find your pass-thru arrows.  Tree stand hunting, which is what I mostly do here with the bow shouldn't make much difference since the arrow should be sticking out of the ground on the other side of the animal.  Elk, might use them as I am not too worried about having a shot at a P&Y animal.  I hate leaving arrows in the woods if I happen to miss.

It should be a personal choice (there is no need to bag on each other here for using or not using them) as it does not make shooting an animal any easier but may help in recovery.  I don't buy the argument that people using luminocks will be more likely to take unethical shots as that type would likely take them anyways.  At least they would be able to pick up more of their arrows....

For videoing a hunt and shot, I think they are great.  Kind of like the hockey games where you can see the trail of the puck all lit up.

I just looked them up online. Basically $10 a piece? Forget it. That pretty much doubles the price of an arrow.

Not a chance.  I have no plans to use them.  We need to concentrate our efforts on getting our seasons back.  In my opinion, this nock issue was just a bone they through at archery so that they could say they did something.

Not to thread jack but chew on this tangent for a minute... Modern firearm bull tag holders get to hunt 14 days while archery hunters get 13 days and that is if the woods don't get closed down to fire danger.  Hhmmmm...

If they are legal I will use some sort of Lighted nock on every arrow I shoot while hunting.
They look SWEET on video! :twocents:

The new law makes more freedom of choice, but the pricetag, for me, makes my choice to be no.

It is not an issue of who can hit what they are shooting at, but, rather and issue of seeing the arrow well enough to recover it.  If you can't hit a 3" circle ant 30 yards, you chould not be out there flinging arrows.  The last thing we need is to have a lot animals wounded and dieing becasue of bad shots.

As far as I am concerned, any nock that will reflect existing light should be sufficient.

I will have to take a good long look at them before I make a FINAL decision, but I have the freedom of choice to make that decision; now.  :dunno:

I can certainly see some people using them as a "tracer" arrow and taking shots that they might not otherwise take.  However, whether or not people choose to use them now that they are legal really is no indicator whatsoever on their ethics or abilities.

I don't like them being legal, but they are.  I'll no more look down on someone using them legally and within their abilities than I would expect someone to view my choice to shoot a cow where it's legal.

Shoot straight.

I like that those who want to use them will have that option.  I don't care to use them myself and doubt I would...unless I was trying to shoot clay pigeons with them.

I won't use them.

[For the record someone is counting their chickens before they hatch...they are proposed so as to "further discussion" the paperwork says. They currently are not legal so folks might want to wait before buying three dozen of them.  ;)]
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.
