    Bought 3 Lumenocks for my Easton Power Bolts. No way do they fit. Sanded one down on a wheel. Fits so tight can't get it out with-out a pliers. Called Lumenocks and was told to send them back,,,,but many web-sites i have seen shows many bow guys are having the same issue. Any thoughts.

    Dumb question, but are they the right ones for your shafts? They come in a bunch of diff. sizes. I am using nocturnals on gold tips and they fit snug ,finger tight.

    Not a dumb question. I would think that if they were the right size they would relatively fit. :D just saying

    Pipeline dude u definitely have the wrong size. There's no way u should have to put them to a sanding wheel or grind them down that much, if at all.

    I bought the "standard" size this past season because it said they would fit my Carbon Express Maxima Hunters and it was a very tight fit. I had to pull it off with pliers after only shooting it once. Stayed lit after shooting it and was jammed in there way too tight to get out with my fingers. It was my first time ever using them so I wasn't sure if I installed it correctly.

    Anyone ever make their own lighted knocks? I've seen some and they are pretty simple to do and much cheaper.

    Reviews also say that the Nockturnals are the best over the counter lighted knock out there.

    I don't know though. Just started researching.

    Haven't had any issues with nocturnals except a package of three that had a dim nock and dead one. I called them up at CSS sent me a three pack. Otherwise I been using them for a few years and they have worked great.

    nocks

    Thanks for the reply.. I should have said that the Lumenocks were for flat nock xbow. Nockturnal came out with xbow lighted nock,but pulled them. They were getting reports of dry fire from the xbows. Tenpoint does not advised to used these nocks. What could be so hard about making a lite nock and Firenocks are no better.
