Do you guy shoot crossbow bolts with lighted nocs ?

[luberhill]

I just ordered three more , 78.00 for 3 

I have a bunch of non lighted bolts but I do like the lighted ones

I shoot lighted Knocks on both my bow and crossbow. I never have paid more than 25 dollars for 6 on Amazon and they have little switches to turn them off.

I just started. The lighted nocks on the Excalibur Quills are straightforward. Easy to shut off and so far have proven durable and bright. I think they give you an advantage

Be a cold day in hell, I'd pay $78 for 3  nocs.

 The million dollar question is, do they work better than a  good hit, sharp tracking job?

Never have used them myself, I have seen plenty of hunting videos where they were used, from what I have seen they work pretty well, they remind me of a tracer bullet.

I shoot GP 425's I have 2 deferent Knocks the ones with the switch and without the ones without the switch come with a small screw drive to turn them off or you can use the tip of a Knife. they have some that come with deferent sizes inserts to fit the IDs of the bolts you just have to look and find the right ones for you

Ok,well that's about what, $26 a bolt. If it increases the odds of recovering  the animal , then I can see value in it.

I would think they would work good in lower light levels, if they Activate the LED. Now would they alter the shot, when the  mechanical switch is activated?

IMHO that is still too expensive, one can get custom bolts that are weight and spine matched at a higher FOC with the deepower lighted nocks which are more consistent and accurate.

I dial mine in using the bolts with the lighted nocks

They have helped me recover a few bolts that passed thru 

 I only use them on the crossbow and I always have a pass thru so they just help me know for sure where I hit them and to find the bolt
