Question for Lumenok users

How tight do yours fit? I feel mine are overly tight. I had to push my arrow down into a seat cushion to get the nock all the way in and had to use pliers to pull it out enough to shut off. They light up fine when shot, but installation and turning them off is a real pain. Anyone else have these issues?

 

Mine fit pretty tight also. Like you they work fine, but if they are way too tight you can shave a little bit off of the little ridges on the actual knock part, that helps.

 

Thanks Vermonster! I was thinking about shaving some of the ridges down, but didn't want to mess with the nock much since I've heard the Lumenok can be finicky. After reading that you had success with it, I just shaved mine down a hair and man what a difference! Thanks!

 

Yup I just installed mine yesterday and I had a tough time getting them in really snug. To turn them off I just kept pressing them till I found the sweet spot and now they all turn off with ease.

 

Glad to hear that it worked for you!

 

Both times i shot deer with them they turned off on the pass through and they are snug.

 

You can sand them down to fine tune the fit.

 

Mine are tight but I figure they'll loosen up the more I use them.

 

Just bought new Lumenoks and they are really tight Do I shave them down or return them. I bought the same size and my other one's are fine, even a little loose at times.

 

Return them and buy Nockturnals....lol

 

I've owned them all and went back to the Lumenoks.

I shaved these down a little with an edge of a knive so their working good now.

Thanks

 

I was just poking at ya...lol. I didn't have good luck with the lumanocks.

 

I've had Lumenoks that were very tight as well, and I've always just shaved them down a bit with no problems.

I just recieved some of the new Carbon Express Launchpad lighted nocks to test, and they fit like a glove in my Maxima shafts. Haven't actually shot them yet, but the fit and adjustability is very nice. Looking forward to testing them out soon.

 

I know. I gotcha

 

Please let me know how the cx lighted nocks are, if you get the chance to try them out!

 

I love the carbon express and I wish I'd never switched to the bemans but when I switch back that will be my set up.
Lets us know how you like them.

 

Im guessing he will do a little write up on them once he shoots them enough.

 

JZ once you do shoot them could you rate them on the same scale as with the other lighted nocks that will give us an idea of how you rated them. Id like to see them compared to lumenoks.

 

Will do.

Last year I tried the CX Laser Eye nocks and they worked great, but just weren't that bright. I put the new Launchpad next to last year's nock and it's noticably brighter. What I like about them is not having to sand down and glue my nock collars in place like the Lumenocks, and not having to stick a field point or broadhead in a tiny little hole to reset them like the Nockturnals. You just pull the nock out about 1/16th of an inch and it turns off. Very easy.

Hoping to shoot them either this weekend or next week to get a feel how they perform.

 

Thanks. That seems very simple if they are pretty bright and easy to use like you say i might switch to them. Then no sanding and glueing of the collar.
