I find it hard to believe as Lumenok has always made the Ravin lighted nocks. Only time will tell as mine lasted for several months before they all failed. I just got off their website and they are not selling a 3 pack of the nocks alone.

They were selling 3 packs of just the nocks which was what I used. No way to really install them wrong if the vanes are lined up correctly. I have been building my own arrows since the late 70s or so and do know what I am doing. I did use one of their nock tuning tools which came with the nocks.

Heck yea!! Do you put the cork stop in your bolts too like the lumenok guys are doing? whats the straightness on your bolts? Do you sqaure your bolts? Def interested in your arrows!!

I think you meant Firenock guys. No stopper is needed with Lumenoks.

I have never had the batteries come out of the nocks but I have only shot the Lumenoks to 440 fps out of my R20 into Spyderweb targets and my Blob target. The Blob is pretty hard and much harder than most field point targets. Besides if one comes loose it will go out and even if it comes loose all you will need to do is pull the nock, shake it out of the shaft and reinsert it.

This is a one of a kind brand new to the market arrow with nock included combo made for a specific bow. I had no idea that for the first time someone had put a cork into an arrow using a Lumenok but it is really not needed as all you would do as already stated if a battery comes loose is just to take it out of the shaft and reinsert it into the nock.
Plus it is made for a Ravin which has proved to eat Lumenocks for breakfast and only time will tell if the new version holds up.
I might buy some if and when they make them available to the public in a 3 pack of nocks at a reasonable price and if they have proven to be reliable.

Hmmm. When 2 of the 3 Lumenok nocks I had for my Ravin split in half at the shot I found both batteries in the bottom of the shafts and both still work just fine in my other Lumenoks. How many have you had crushed?

Just shot my lumenok for Ravin r10 and on the third one the nock shattered and cut my string and damaged my limbs. Anyone else have issues. Not happy.

That sounds like the Lumenoks we were all using that kept breaking on the shot. I will never shoot another Lumenok out of my Ravin.
