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?

It is just a proposal... it has not been approved yet.

In fact they will be on the agenda along with all the other proposals at the upcoming GMAC meeting Feb 11th.  I can't wait for this one.... should be a long, long meeting.

Hopefully it passes. I know I will be buying them as soon as they turn legal! There is nothing worse then taking a shot and not being able to find the arrow. I know I know if I didnt miss I wouldnt have this worry  :chuckle: But when I do miss I feel like I just threw a $20 bill in the woods. Hopefully luminocks will help with this!

I will be using them.  I can't see the arrow currently as my bow is now to fast.  I shoot some of the luminocks for practice and they are great.  You can watch the arrow the entire time and if you miss it is a lot easier to locate your arrow.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

You won't be shooting any nock during your short, hot, non-rut Sept 2-14 elk season here in the coming years...  Ridiculous this topic is 8 pages long but relatively few are outraged at the season and allocation issues.  WSB has a big proposal to the WDFW about the Bumping unit, if anyone is interested in real issues...?  Even some of the major archery group leaders on this thread wasting countless hours posting but not working on or posting on any of the other issues is disheartening.

Starting off by taking swings at your fellow hunters isn't going to get you far in building a strong front with which to approach the WDFW. If you have a WDFW issue, there are plenty of people, including me who deal with our state's officials on a daily basis. Post your WDFW issue here: http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php?board=21.0

or pm me, Killbilly, or Bearpaw and we'll respond.

What's the quote? "If we can't stand together, we'll surely fall apart." Something like that. Stand together with your fellow hunters, Popeshawn.

I don't understand why people don't think we, as archers, can tackle more than one issue at a time.  We can handle MULTIPLE issues and still have time to "discuss" silly issues.

P.S.  Pope if you need volunteers for the WSB booth at the Big Horn Show, I'm available to help if you need me to help man it.

 I doubt I will ever use them but I'm glad I can if I want to.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

You have a way with words, Machias.

Since a majority of you are married, I'll splain it to you in a way you might understand.......   You can tone it out as she is continously harping on you, but when she really wants you to listen to her, she gets your attention.    I believe that would be the premise here as well with the game commission.

Wolves.....treaty rights......season settings and game management might be a little more important than a light on a stick.

Yeah Bone, but this thread is about lights on a stick! We're posting in the other threads you mentioned, as well. Like Machias most eloquently stated, we can do more than one thing at once. We can have stupid talks about lights on a stick AND we can address, and often do, more important issues at the same time. So, back to lights on a stick.
