Re: set screws in the nocks?

no big deal. just screw a 1/2"- 10/32 set screw into the back end of a plastic nock. with a drop of glue. take your scale to the store to be sure. good luck.

Re: got it all sighted in

I like the lighted sight also ,but only used them for practice . if it is to dark to shoot it is time to quit. so I never used it while hunting. and now I don't have to worry about a battery . good luck with yours.

I lost a good friend of mine because he thought the same way you did . left a wife and a little girl . was 44 years of age. don't mean to seem gloomy but that what happened in my experienc...
