lighted nock comes through!
« on: October 29, 2016, 12:37:00 PM »
No, not with help finding a deer.   But I had shot an arrow with a green lighted nock  8 days ago and the arrow slid under thick leaves.  Couldn't find it with a 30 min search and even used a rake.  This am, I am walking in the dark to go hunting when I see a faint green light in the leaves.   It is the lighted nock, still active after 8 days.   The arrow was about 5 feet farther than the last spot where I quit looking.

They really do help. At ETAR this past year a group of us were on a coon shoot. 2 of us were shooting lighted nocks and shot way high on an uphill target. We could see both arrows at quite a distance through the foliage. Others lost arrows, we didn't.

I love them.  I hunt squirrels quite often and thus periodically loose arrows.  If/when it happens the lighted nocks after dark seem to consistently pull through for me.
