Well I did it

Post by hundl1 »

Yesterday I ordered the 380 with a few toys from Wyverns
supposed to be here by Wednesday,,,,,Can't sleep waiting for it. I do have a question is anyone having any luck with lighted nocks out of the 380?

hundl1, welcome to the forum!

I use Lumenoks with my M380 and Black Eagle Archery's Executioner bolts/arrows. They work fine for me. They're a little heavier than the black nocks that came with the arrows, so I glued 1/2" #10/32 set screws (eBay) into the original nocks on my practice arrows so they're the same weight.

You're gonna enjoy that new xbow.

Welcome aboard! X3 in the Luminocks. They have paid for themselves a few times with retrieved hunting arrows.

I had Big John work his Magic on a handful of 18.25" Black Eagle Executioners, and outfit them with Luminoks. DEADLY Accuracy out to 80+ yards! All I shoot out of my Matrix 380, practice or hunting. And Yeah to what hankenhunter said, certainly has made arrow recovery quite a lot easier! :wink:

Cheers & Welcome to your new Addiction! :twisted:

This is a great idea. Saves a lot of wear and tear on your lighted nocks. Just make sure they are glued in there really well so they don't come loose and rocket down the shaft upon impact.

Lighted nocks do make arrow recovery much easier and has saved me some money as well in the last year but I think the best part of them is watching that streak of light disappear through the chest cavity of an animal. That is in my opinion the best part of that investment. :D
