Not sure of the size but lumenoks have flat nocks.

To check which Lumenok (Burt Coyote)  fits your arrow/bolt  go to :  http://www.lumenok.n...oduct guide.pdf.  There are also how-to vides on this website and complete arrows with Lumenoks.

the CX arrow are made of mostly non-conductive material, fiberglass, kevlar, etc.  So Lumenok do not work on those as it need to make a complete circuit with the shaft.  FYI, the ID of the CX crossbow shaft is 0.282".  Since I decided that I am going to only make one nock for that arrow, it has to do both.  So the Y nock is a little taller than most and the moon nock is actually a quarter moon, not a half moon.  It will work on nearly every crossbow that demand a flat nock right out off the box, but for those who like a absolute flat nock, it is advice to sand the 2 hump pack as the experience had taught me that the perfect flat and smooth surface of a flat nock that I made will actually cause string jump!  So if you want a flat nock, sand the quarter moon nock down with rough sand paper as you are going to need those rough edges to grip the sting if there is any moisture and ice!

I just bought a Wicked Ridge Invader and some Carbon Express Surge arrows / bolts.
Wicked Ridge recommends flat nocks.
I looked and looked for a lighted flat nock with no results.

However I found a Easton Tracer Flatback nock that uses a magnet to turn it on, but it's made for a 2219 shaft.
The inside id of the Carbon Express Surge is .283.

So I carefully filled down the nock .using a drill and a file very slow and carefull.

It works great.


Next I should probably glue it in with some silicon.
So it will stay yet come out when I need it to.

I am 71 and always shot vertical bows, two years ago I had to have my left wrist fused, so I could no longer pull a regular bow and converted to crossbow.  I have a Ten Point Pro-Slider, and they reccommed the flat nock, I use the Easton 2219 shafts, so I tried Lumanocks, but found that I didn't have enough strength in my left hand to pull them out to turn them off, so I switched to the Easton Tracers for their magnetic on-off feature, its great, but I encountered a problem, after I shot them about 8 or 10 times into a target designed to stop crossbow-shot arrows, they quit working and no longer lit.  Upon pulling the shafts out of the target, I noticed a rattle from inside the arrow, I pulled the Tracers out and found that in all three nocks, the battery had broken away from the circuit board so no more light.  I took them back to the dealer and they agreed they were defective, and gave me my money back.  I emailed Easton twice about the problem, but sad to say they never answered me, too bad, it was a neat concept, I hope Easton or someone is able to clear up the problem.

Anyone seen the new Easton Tracer RLi?
I wonder if the one of the sizes will fit Carbon Express Surge.
