Archers Flame lighted nocks?

[Widowbender]

I guess its up for interpretation by the wildlife officer but NC Regulations Digest says:

"It is unlawful to use any of the following in taking wild birds or animals:
-artificial lights (including laser sights),"

I know folks who use them, but without clarification from wildlife officials, I wouldn't use them. Also, they are not P&Y legal, If that matters to you. I think they are a good idea, especially in low light and they don't help you kill an animal, just see where your arrow hit...

David I think the laser sight thing applies to actual laser sights. Like they use on pistols and so forth.

Our law says the same thing but they have in parenthesis that lasers not projecting outside the scope are okay. It was in reference to those laser dot sights that display a red dot within the sight but not on the animal. So I'm pretty sure they mean actual laser points, not lighted nocks. It's probably the same there too but a phone call could answer the question.

I make my own using the lighted bober lights , the push pull type you get at Wal-mart. I have about 3 bucks in each. I took two deer this season right at dark. It really helped finding an arrow after a pass thru. Cool to see the arrow flight so well and watch it dissapear when passing thru. Check you tube for instructions on how to make them, search for homemade lighted nocks.

They are the best thing there is for seeing the hit and finding an arrow.It takes the guess work out of where you really hit an animal or if you missed.I built some for my regular sized carbons but use luminocks in my axis shafts.I have heard all the stories about them being junk but never had an issue with them.I have two I have shot a lot over the last year and they have worked every time without fail.

I'd like to try them, ever since my prostate started eating all my hair I don't pick up the arrow as well as I used to. I know it's not my eyes if my arms weren't too short I could read just fine!

I shot my first tradional deer tonight . I can not walk so i hunt from an ATV . Called my son     WHO IS COLOR BLIND   to do the main tracking we had a good bloody trail but i seen the luminock shining in the briars at about 25 yards , we would have found but this made me a beleaver in the lighted nock . I could have found it just by heading in the direction the deer ran even if it was raining

i have used the lumenocks and they are inconstant from my experience with them sometime they don't go on well most of the time they dont and some dont work at all. i have made home made ones with the bobber lights mentioned above they work better but still perfecting them.

they are a useful nice for low light shooting and tuning etc.. on my last trip to south africa we would have lost an ostridge it it was not for a lighted nock
