Anyone use lumenock?
« on: June 23, 2023, 05:55:41 PM »
I've been messing around with a pack of lumenocks that I got for free. Thought they would be cool for filming hunts. The main thing that I can't figure out is why the throat of the nock is so big. I'm shooting a 16 stand string with normal amount of serving on it and there is a bunch of play once the nock is seated. The very end of the nock snaps tightly onto the string so there doesn't seem to be any issue with it potentially falling off the string. I'm just not sure I can live with the looseness of once it's seated. Anyone else have this issue? Should I just give up on em..

It sounds to me like your description is they are too tight on the string, and you do not want that.

You do not want the arrow to hang on for dear life at the end of brace. That can cause innaccuracies and noise.

How difficult is it to manually pull them off yourself?

Terry not difficult at all. They're no tighter than a regular easton S nock on my string. Just very loose at the deepest part of the throat of the nock.

They snap on just like a regular nock but then once seated they wiggle back an fourth.

OK, I was just wanting to know if they were hanging on for dear life.  They sound find to me.

I think it could be a problem if you shoot 3 under depending on your string nock, double nock above and below would help keep it from moving up or down on the draw otherwise it could move

Mark that is exactly how I shoot. I have double brass nock above and below. There is no up and down or side to side play, just back and forth from the belly of the bow towards the shooter. As if they left the throat of the nock too long when they made it. Which seems odd to me because that's a fairly thick string. I just didn't know if anyone else had had this issue when lumenock.
