Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting False rumors spreading in Idaho

Having hunted with and without them I will always opt for using them now when legal and I have them.

The ability to see very clearly the impact, plus the amount of penetration and at times seeing the arrow on the ground or in the bush behind the target makes finding it quick and easy.

On occasion you are blood tracking and find the arrow on the trail, maybe you lose the blood track but see the lighted nock in the distance to jump ahead and start tracking from that point.

I cannot see in anyway even slightly that they are an advantage to help you make a better shot or improve your odds of making the shot. They are however a huge advantage at game recovery especially in fading light which is the worst time to track anyway.

There is simply no downside to the use of a lighted nock. Only recovery advantages!

Oh ..... there is an undeniable cool factor when using them while on video. Seeing that laser light streak through the air and then the impact is about as good as it gets. Being able to watch this video a frame at a time also makes it easier to see the impact point and know where your shot actually hit.
