homemade lumenok build-along !!

<< < (8/8)

trapper1:
if you have to push the nock to turn it on, why would it not come one automatically when you shoot? the pressure from the string should turn it on...am I missing something here.
let me know please

yup trapper it is glued to the side of the wooden arrow so you have to turn it on all by your little old self no help from the string as the nock does not touch the light.  :biglaugh:

kyle...noticed you didn't recommend sanding the insert part of the nock.  if you nocks fit too snuggly into the shaft (my easton and bohning singature do) you need to sand them a bit to make the 'pull to turn off part' work.  if its too snug and you really have to pull hard to can start to damage the shaft (start small splits)

also...noticed you don't drill all the way through the nock....most of the other build alongs I've seen recommend that so its a lot brighter.  so thats the way I did it, but the hole gets very caked up with blood on pass thrus and I can't figure a way to clean it out.   now putting a drop or two of glue in there might help towards that problem.

I've got pics at home (haven't uploaded to photobucket yet).  they are all bohning signature clear nocks and haven't yet had any kind of failure.

PS...also had a friend give me a few nocks from his easton axis slims and I could not get the insert barrel drilled out enough to insert the light without weakening the nocks.  

anybody have a way to work with the super slim nocks?????

trapper the 'inserted into carbons' nocks turn on with shot inertia, the one that dagator posted is just glued to the side of a solid arrow so its not touching the string at all...shot inertia wont turn it on.

hmmm now I feel like an idiot, I never read all the posts, went back and read all the way through.thanks hickstick
