Any of you guys shoot lighted nocks? If so, what kind and what do you think about 'em? I have had a rough start to the season. I have missed 3 times  . I'm usually "money" but this year it just ain't happening  . And to make it worse I ain't been able to find all of my arrows after I miss. Appreciate it fellas.

You could tie a string to the end of you arrow that way its like bowfishing. :p :p
It isn't necessary to see a good tackle...you can hear it.

Thats a bummer... Arrows cost to much to not be able to retrieve. I bought an allen lighted knock from academy but it hasn't even for me for two shots at deer. I'm not impressed with the 10 bucks i spent on them.

I was shooting lumanocs but went tracers this year, both work well for me. My old eyes have trouble keeping up with arrows at the speeds they fly now a days.

I shoot tracers and like them...there are some good articles on how to make them out there also if you are willing to put in the work.

I checked up on the Tracer nocks, and I'm gonna give them a try. If I had had them a few weeks ago they could have been paid for by now by helping me not lose arrows :rolleyes: .Thanks fellas.

Lumenocks for me for the last two seasons. They are great. I highly recommend any of them for being able to see where your arrow hits. They are great in low light conditions.

When you quit looking where you shoot, and start shooting where you look, you won't need to see the arrow anymore. 
I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

Easton Tracers are junk. They will work for a little while and go out. Sometimes brand new out of the pack they do not work. Check out Archery Talk for more feedback. The best are Firenocks.

I can second this!!!!!! I bought 4 of em last year but only used 2 of those. The other two I had in "sleep mode" in my bow part box. When I pulled them out this year the batteries were dead in ALL of them. Even the ones I hadn't used and had put up. I bought my dad some for his crossbow and they all quit working this year. One of those was STILL in the packaging. I use to use luminoks but had them turn off twice after passing thru the deer. Went to Firenocks this and so far so good. They cost a bit more but you can change the nock out if you bust it and change the battery in them too.

All of the feed back has been great. I understand what everybody is saying about the whole "pick a spot and follow through" thing. I really think my problem has been that I haven't got to practice much this year, thanks to working all the time, and I'm torquing and a little bit anxious at the shot . I just want something that will let me know where my arrow is at when it is all said and done. Guess that's what I get for shooting camo arrows and fletching, huh? Thanks again guys.
