Bought some Lumenoks today for Excalibur Firebolts

Screw a field tip into the nock. Heat gently with lighter or torch and pull out the nock. Usually only takes a few seconds worth of heat. Clean the inside of the shaft, sand the end of the shaft to square it up, and push in the lumenock.

Want to be certain before I start
Heat the arrow shaft or the field tip?

Heat the field tip then use pliars to pull it out. Once the arrow is cool you could use a .38. Cal bore brush to clean the glue residue out of the shaft.

Lumenocks are installed and ready to go.
Have a major resighting session taking place this weekend with the Equinox.

Lumenocks installed on Firebolts.
Also
Installed Guardian Anti Dryfire Scope Mount
Installed New Vixenmaster Flemish String.

Should be an interesting session.
More Speed resulting from The Flemish String
Improved Scope to Eye Relief because of the Guardian's increased scope mounting possiblies when compared to the stock mount. Plus a reduced worry of a dryfire.
Effects of the lumenocks on arrow flight .

Plus the cool effects and wow factor of RED Lumenocks
Should be a funtimes

Can I assume the same method can be used to remove the front inserts?I'm thinking about changing to brass inserts to improve the FOC with 100gr broadheads.
