Title: Lighted Knocks on crossbow bolts
Post by: uncle buck on October 16, 2013, 10:01:52 PM

'm new to hunting deer with a crossbow...  I know what lighted knocks do but are they universal?  I use Wicked Ridge Bolts!  Remember seeing the lighted knocks on the Killlight site...So do you glue them on or do you  have to get a specific lighted knock based on the companies bolts?

I believe you have to get the nock to match your bolts and even sometimes to match your crossbow ie: some shoot a flat nock, some shoot a moon nock. I would go to the nearest archery shop and get there opinion on your set up.  I always use a lighted nock on my arrows so I'm not searching for my arrow in the dark if it buried in tall grass or in a tree. It also is great to watch that red light zip threw the deer and reappear on the other side!
