they are very cool,easy to follow and find after the shot..
they are illegal in idaho, dont know about other states though..

 

[manny15]

can't see why they would be illegal...?

I shoot trad gear ,sometimes at night i will set up a glow stick
and shoot at it,, sure does help with instinctive shooting..
the lumenok alows me to find my arrows if i miss my backstop..
also i put a little pheasant scent on my fletch, if i cant find it my shorthair will always come through for me..

I love them. They take the doubt out of where you hit the animal so you can decide when and how long to wait before tracking.

thats what I thought but apearently the DFG thinks they can be used for poaching?

LAST EDITED ON Apr-01-07 AT 08:05PM (MST)[p] How would you use a lighted knock for poaching?? I think they never thought of lighted knocks when they made the rules, and are only referring to sights and lights to shine with.
I would think you would be hard pressed to find a warden that would even look at your knocks, and for that matter give you a citation for them.
Another reason i use them is I tinker around with amature hunting videos and they really show the arrow path on video. the difference is unreal!

 

[manny15]

your probably right, I guess I could call 'em up and find out cause I would really like to use them this year...

manny, there is a bowfishing video out that I just got from cabelas and they use the lumenocks quite often in the video. Also at the end of the video they show a segment using lumenocks while shooting deer, turkeys, and a variety of other game. I was very impressed with how you could follow the arrow and could tell where the arrow hit the target. I'm at work and the video is at home so I cannot tell you the name of it but I will get back on here tomorrow night to give you the name. It is a great video and worth the price. These guys are arrowing fish as they jump out of the water. fatrooster.
