Lighted nocks

[vintage-bears]

For or against?

[Ethan Johnson]

For.  It helps me see where I hit.  If someone would make a lighted nock for wood shafts, that would be awesome.

[cacciatore]

No reason for make them illegal,they don't help to kill just to recover,also with daylight they are very useful.
Are string trackers illegal? They are a little the same.
IMHO.

I use them for practice shots at dusk. Also switch to one for last 30 minutes of hunting light and have one on the string real early mornings.

Can be an advantage in low light conditions.

For!

I don't use them, but don't have a problem with anybody else using them.

For - for the reasons mentioned above.  They aid in seeing exactly where you hut.  Plus...I'm guessing my arrows range from $10 - $20 a piece so I want to find them if/when I miss.  Maybe most important if all...my kids think they are awesome looking!

For. I use Orange feathers and they are hard to see in low light so the lighted nock helps. I shot at a doe last year that seemed to notice the light coming toward her when I shot. She was broad side and ducked quite a bit. I got her on the second shot without the lighted nock. I use green and I think I will go to red and that should take care of it... At least in my mind.

I Must admit I think there kind of cool, but seem a little techie for me ,don't have a problem with someone using them,by the way I hunt with a iPhone in my pocket and binoculars hanging around my neck so I don't know why they bug me.

2 of my 4 quiver arrows are nocturnals.  Haven't shot one at anything yet. Looking forward to it though!  The videos of others shooting them are pretty cool looking.

To up the odds that I'll have a lighted nock on the bow I've stopped taking them off after sunup. Just leave them on the string now, no matter how much light.

Arrows aren't cheap! Injexion Arrow $12, Helix broadhead $15, and nocturnal nock $10.  $37 a pop!  That's more than the resident deer license.  Of course they are reusable.

I remember when I was 14 making a case to my Mom about getting me a bow and arrows for Christmas. I argued that the arrows could be shot over and over.  I remember having 2-3 arrows at a time (cedar). I bought them one at a time when I destroyed or lost one.

I lovem.

[tracker12]

No idea why it took me as long as it did to put them on my arrows.  So much information gained during and after the shot that aids in recovery.  Very ethical tool as far as I am concerned.

I like them. Great for info about shot and video

[Gdpolk]

I prefer them for hunting arrows.  It aids in recovery.  I'm not into possibly loosing animals.  ANYTHING that makes finding my arrows and animals easier is a good product in my opinion.

For. Can't use them in my state, but this is one electronic I have no problem with.

[snag]

You can use them now. I believe this was the first year that Oregon allowed them.
No electronics in traditional archery for me. You have to draw the line somewhere. I know this isn't a popular idea in today's bow hunting community.

[elknutz]

Good to know.

I want to try some out, they look like a lot of fun and would certainly save me some trouble hunting rabbits.

they weigh a lot though and are kind of pricy, I still hope to try some in the near future.

[vintage-bears]

Thank you all for your input.

[JR Belk]

For. They're way too much fun at a night shoot.
