and does the nu-fletch offer nocks sized for different style arra's ??
I have always ordered #2219f3 lumenoks for my xx75-2219 arra's
and they fit perfectly.
thanks.........
Nufletch offers crossbow nocks in .285, .295, and .300 diameter to fit different shafts. Offered in both flat and half moon.
Personally I like the simplicity of the Ignitors and the fact I don't need any other pieces of equipment for them. I pack as light as possible when I hit the woods.
Until I find a better or more durable design, I have no reason to change.

Red flat lumenocks I have a bit of an issue getting them to tun off and stay off but they certainly work everytime and didn't affect my accuracy one bit.
Hello,
I'm new to crossbows and stepped into it with a Matrix 380. I quickly realized that the supplied Diablos w/o the lighted nocks was not the way to go, so not wanting to drift to far from the Excalibur tree, I purchased the lighted Diablo's with the flat Lumenoks. First, at 30 yards, I found a significant drop. Right or wrong, I brought them in using the speed compensator built into the scope. So far so good. The second problem that I found was trying to turn the nocks off. I couldn't grip them tight enough, particularly in the cooler weather. Putting pliers, padded or not, to plastic just seemed to be a disaster waiting to happen. I came up with an idea that has seemed to help. I found that using a piece of 5/16 reinforced plastic tubing and gently forcing it over the nock and then pulling back works better for me. The tubing only needs to 4-5" in length, just to fit your hand. Grip is improved. It's not necessarily a "first-time, every-time fix, but, I believe it to be better than using pliers. Tubing is available at all the big box home improvement stores.

...no noticeable drop for me...I would suggest you purchase Danny Miller's Arra Pullers $18 and worth every penny...there are others on this site that also swear by the Nu-Fletch Ignitors...I have them but have yet to give them a whirl....

Anthony. I would of thought you would of been out testing them already and giving us a nice review.
I have never used a lighted nock but when I put my order in with Southshorearchery for 6 new zombie slayers I asked for the luminoc. So this will be my first attempt at a lighted nock.

....so you know me heh? I really would have, but I wanted to wait until I really got the chance to put them through the ringer...
If I take the plunge and order the 335...I might just go with them from the onset!
Brian, there are others on here who swears by them...namely Swamp Donkey...I like their design...my only concern is when you pull the light stick out to turn it off...it is just another thing to drop on the ground...
I can tell you the Lumenoks have been rock solid for my boys and me and it would be very hard to pull them out to go to something else (not literally but figuratively!)
