I adopted my first xbow, a Mission Sub-1 which comes with Victory arrows and opted for the lighted nocks, what a freaking nightmare this has been!
It is about impossible to simply to turn them off after being shot. The fact is when I picked the bow up and shot it at the dealers, he used a putty knife to turn them off! So I go home to sight the bow in thinking it can't be that difficult. I had to use a piece of the material one uses under rugs to control slippage to turn some off, others I literally had to use pliers which then the whole nock would come out! For two months + I have gone though hell with mission not believing me at first until they confirmed it with my dealer who by the way has been awesome! Then Matthews/Mission says it almost never happens; sent me more arrows and the results are the same. Then they send me more and I'm told if they don't work I'd have to find other arrows!!!
I can't change the nocks as I was told the insert is glued in and if heated to remove will sacrifice the integrity of the carbon arrow shaft.
Please tell me how difficult your lighted knocks are to turn off and what options I have to correct this engineering disaster...
Thanking you in advance,
WTZ
