My first attempt...

...at mating a lighted nock for carbon and aluminum arrows to my cedar arrows. It is working and holding up great so far. I put a few dozen shots through it today with no problems.

Hey, that's pretty cool.

How did you go about doing it?

Rick

[EnW]

I have been thinking on it for a while. I was trying to reinvent the lighted nock for use with wood until I found the nockturnal brand lights. They are exactly what I was looking for. I drilled this one with my hand drill and it is straight, but I am going to build a jig before I drill out any more arrows.

But mine are self nocks. Darn self nocks!

Way to go, I think you're on to something here.

[RickBarbee]

So you did it like an internal footing?

I had been planning on doing it that way using a thill light, but didn't get around to it yet.

That's right. I bought some thills a while back to try this but I never had the time or ingenuity to complete it. Imo, these nockturnals seem to be the way to go so far.

[bob sarrels]

Very cool.

[RickBarbee]

Eric, I've been building them with the thill lights for carbons for a while, and they have been working great.

Should be pretty easy to rig them up for woodies, but I won't know that till I give it a go.
