Lighted Nocks- Why ?

Post by vixenmaster »

I read about all the ppl. who put them things in the rear of arrow. I want to knowed why ? Can't be to see where it hits as if'en you sighted yer Excal in its on the money min of deer. I shoot lots of Donated arrows, i call them me junk arrows & everyone of them will hit a softball at 40 yds! Hello thats dead deer, don't need to see the hit jus watch jump, run n fall :lol:

Helps me find my arrows at last light right after they blow thru the deer and skip off accross the field. :)

If you have a bow mounted camera the illuminated nocks will make all the difference in the world when you play it back.

For me, it does make it easier to find my arrows.

Because they look so cool; watching them through your scope and yes, much easier to find afterwards...

Well aren't you fortunate!

Donated Arrows

I buy mine and care enough about them to be able to find them after the shot. For me it's about recovery.
I hunt mostly from the ground and after a pass through the arrow usually disappears into the undergrowth or sometimes into a cornfield when hunting along the edge of the bush.
If the arrow should be damaged then I want to at the very least recover the broadhead.
