How many bow hunters out there are skeptical of using illuminated arrow nocks? I was one of those hunters until last night when I shot them for the first time. I decided to give them a try after debating over them for a long time. I thought to myself, "are they really worth the trouble?" The answer is yes! They are reliable, they involve very little maintenance, and they require no tuning at all. They fly exactly like my other nocks. There are two types that I am aware of. The first kind illuminates upon impact, and the second kind is activated and deactivated by magnets. I chose the nocks that are activated and deactivated by magnets because to me, they seemed easier to use. The nocks I chose are made by Easton, and they are called Tracer Arrow Knocks. The only advice I will give is to make sure the nocks you are purchasing match with the nocks you shoot with. Most nocks are differentiated by a letter, and most nocks display that letter somewhere. For example, I shoot X nocks so I made sure I purchased the exact same kind. The point is, the illuminated nocks are versatile so don't be afraid to pick up a pair. Have fun with them whether you are hunting or shooting at the range. I am anxious to see them in action during spring turkey season and deer season in the fall.
