Lighted nocks and expandables

"The best broadhead is useless if not backed by the rest of equipment.  "


The number one most important piece of that equipment is the shooter themselves.

I see this one making 12 pages easy.

[D-Rock425]

Me too.

Only 12, this will have way better legs than that if it makes it past 3 withoput getting locked. 

[D-Rock425]

Its kinda funny on how we guess how many pages a thread will go before its locked.

Taking post to SYM before it derails thread like others are wanting to do....

I would guess expandables would be ok on deer, but not so sure on elk... are there any Western states that allow expandables on elk, deer,bear?

Deer and bear - Yes
Elk - not to many eastern states even have a season for them or an animal in their boundaries.  If there was, they would allow mechanical/expandable broadheads to be used.

I never really thought about the issue someone brought up about if the braodhead doesn't open.  I can see that being an issue.  I do like the fact they fly more like a field tip and you seem to have been accuracy with expandables.

I was told today that for the next two years that lighted nocks and expandables will be allowed in Washington.  The guy who told me said he heard it from a friend who works at a Game and Fish office in Seattle...anyone else hear of anything about this yet?

Based on how the WDFW works and everything already posted in this thread, my advice would be to not listen to "the guy who told me" anymore.

My W key is acting up it should have read WESTERN.  I was pretty sure they were legal in most eastern states.

[ladyelkslayer]

Okay, I didn't think they were allowed yet, but just wanted to see what everyone else had heard...Thanks for the info!!!

Expandables are legal for all big game animals in MT.

A bad shot is a bad shot, regardless of what you use.  I always have a deep seated fear that an expandable won't open for me.  I use fixed blade.

Tom Miranda killed polar bears, elk, bison, etc. with Rage broadheads, so they do work.

Lumenocks are on the list of proposals, expandables are not.  If Lumenocks are allowed, they will be adopted for the three year package as was previously stated.

I have stated the same as well, recovery of the arrow as well as maybe getting a better idea of where your arrow hit can help you in the recovery of game just by helping you decide on how long to wait before tracking, you can push a gut shot animal a long ways, poosible losing the animal if you start tracking it to soon.
