Nah.......to much wasted meat.
One of my friends used to rifle hunt as a youth and told me that his grandpa told him the same thing about a bullet and so instructed him to shoot for the head or neck. Same could hold true for an exploding broadhead; shoot 'em where the meat ain't.
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.

I understand they break after so many shots, I am willing to accept that, but Iam trying to limit how many arrows I lose in the thick vegation that is all over the island. We all have made lousy shots either on the range or in the field! I dont think it will make me a better bow hunter or shot, I just would rather spend a little to save a little. :twocents:

Sometimes I don't understand why we argue over stupid sh!t like a light on a knock.  If its legal I don't care if anyone uses them.

Because we're bored and there's little to hunt.

This issue is so insignificant and meaningless to me, that I wouldn't care if people used them even if they were illegal. It's like getting mad at someone for driving 61 mph on the free way when the speed limit is 60.

Give 'em an inch, they'll take a mile.

I dont give a damn what you do as long as it's within the law.

I think I'll try them. 

I like the idea of being able to recover an arrow easier in thick brush and getting better insight on the shot.  I don't have an expensive camera filming my hunts so I can just go back to the lodge and replay the footage and see where the hit was exactly, and I do not stop hunting with 15 minutes of legal hunting light remaining because I can't film anymore.  In low light conditions it can be tough to see exactly what happens and where the arrow hits or missses.  Bad shots will be taken by people with a lighted knock or not.  Like others have said.. It could save money on finding arrows that may otherwise be lost.

If it helped me on ANY level in recovering an animal I am for it but that's just me.  I see where some people are coming from and I get that also.

I would rather have the seasons back to what they used to be though instead of lighted knocks.  :twocents:

:yeah:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Alwine....please reconsider.  I'd love to see that mule deer you are going to get this fall in the books. :chuckle:

I have never entered anything in the books so its not something I had thought of :dunno:
Ok, I will keep A arrow in my quiver with a Standard nock on it just in-case I get a shot at a world/state record animal :tup:

:(  Then you'll miss him because your point of impact will have changed.  ;)

Nope, won't be buying them.

Id account for it.  Hold 1/2" low at 20.. 2 1/2" low at 50 should be close.
If i actually end up going with this, I would have pre tested it.. :tup:

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...

They're legal now?
