Introduction
The Lumenok from Burt Coyote is a lighted nock
that replaces your conventional arrow nock
adding a high visibility colored LED that, when
lit, will trace arrow flight. Lighted arrow
nocks are very useful on hunting field as you
will be able to see and find your arrow if you
either miss your target (and are concerned about
leaving a sharp broadhead in the field) or you
hit your target but the game walks away with
your arrow and you are hard pressed to retrieve
it.
There are a few lighted nock products available
on the market: the Tracer from Easton, the
Firenock from Firenock Corp.
and the Lumenok from Burt Coyote, all of
them share the same idea: place a battery and a
LED into a transparent (or semi transparent)
nock that will turn on when you shoot the arrow.
Each company, however, developed its peculiar
system to activate the LED in the nock. Lumenok
uses string pressure to seat the nock against
the arrow and close the electric circuit, via
two tiny exposed contacts, that turn the LED on.
Documentation is written in plain English and it
is clear and understandable however on Lumenok
web site you will find lots of info, a series of
well done videos that deal with installing and
using your Lumenok and forum section where you
can get in touch with other users and you can
ask your questions, Eric Price (co owner of Burt
Coyote) usually responds personally to all
product questions.
Packaging
The Lumenok is sold in a clamshell package that
contains 1 single Lumenok or 3 Lumenok, that
package also contains an instruction sheet with
tree marked cutout areas that may serve as
thickening material if the Lumenok fits too lose
in your arrow shaft.
Currently Lumenok retails for about US$9.90 for
the single nock package and 27.90 for the 3
nocks version (today quote on Basspro.com).
The Lumenok is available in different sizes to
match the internal diameter of most arrows as
there is no standard inside diameter for carbon
arrow shafts, and two styles: flat and half
moon.
Currently the Lumenok is available only with red
LED and white translucent body. Lumenok in Flat
End for 2219 crossbow arrows weight just under
30 Grains.
