Aren't they 14.99$ a piece. Your money would be better spent buying a flashlight, or blood light.

Probably at first you will until you get used to them. Once you get used to them you'll start to concentrate again on shot placement.

I bought one of the Carbon Express lighted nocks today from Walmart for $8. They are pretty sweet I must say, I am ready so send one through some lungs to see how they function in the woods. For $8, they seem like they will be an invaluable tool for both finding your arrow after letting it fly and seeing your POI on your target, especially in low light conditions.

I had trouble with mine last year, I practiced with them and got used to them, and then they would begin to malfunction, coming on and blinking while at full draw, etc. I think mine just sucked though, and maybe I left them on or something. I would give them another try.

They are Fantastic, especially if you plan on doing any filming, also they make finding an arrow on a pass through that much easier...

exos did it come with a weighted practice tip too. No, no practice nock with it. I have yet to get it on the scale to see the exact weight. I think they were claiming around 17gr, as soon as I get some time I will see what I come up with. Im sure I can do some simple mods to get my standard nocks to the same weight as the lighted ones.

I used the Luminox last year.....I can't really say they helped me out....I saw the knock flying through the air, but as far as impact, not sure if I wasn't concentrating exactly on the knock or what, but I can't say it helped me pin-point where I hit him...It all just happened too fast I think....Either way, it was tasty, But I am not going to waste the money this year, just another thing to worry about in the moment IMO....

used to use the lumenoks, switched to easton tracers, they are magnet activated. Like them better. Love both, fantastic for low light, also for longer distance practice. They are great for detecting slight issues with arrow flight.

Better too far back, than too far forward.
