They are really nice in low light conditions!! they resemble a red missle in flight. Try’emyou wont be disappointed.

There awsome i haven’t shot a deer with the new set of arrows and bow i have yet but the light works on every shot for me and it’s supposed to stay lit for 40 hours enough time to find the arrow and track the the deer give them a shot there really easy to install!

they do not stay lit for “40 hours” I don’t know who told ’em that. They insert into the arrow, its no big deal.

Pretty cool concept, but the price isn’t worth it to me. You want to be able to see you’re arrows in flight and after the hit? Then have the top 1/4 of your arrows dipped and have white vanes put on. Cheaper and just as effective. If you are following the arrow through the peep while it is on its way to the target or kill zone, you should see exactly where your arrow hits. If you can’t see the flight, you are more than likely shooting after legal hours or can’t identify your target clearly

Dipped in what? I’ve talked to several bow hunters who shoot with a peep and there’s always one or more that complain about not being able to see through the peep in low light conditions. I’ve never used a peep and never will! anchor sights are the way to go now. just my thoughts

Do not knock it untill you have tried one, there are peeps with larger holes that are made for us older guys
I have had one for a long time and never have had a problem seeing through the peep.

The only time I have found not to be able to see through my peep is when it is not legal shooting hours. So yes I have had a problem seeing through my peep, but that just reminds me it is too late or early to shoot.
As Steve said there are different size peeps and ones that gather light better others. Not knocking ya, just trying to provide you with more information.
As far as the lumenoks go, make sure they are legal in the state you re hunting before purchasing.

To each ther own, I’ve just never felt the need to use them. If the they make you a better shooter then go for it. We’re all after the same results, good shot placement and a quick kill.

I think the biggest plus about luminocks, is if your recovering in the dark, if the arrow is lodged, it is a beacon for you. Also, another friend said, you can see with ease, where the arrow enters the animal. Kind of like tracer rounds I suppose.

I haven’t had the opportunity to use mine yet, but this weekend will bring new opportunities, I hope.
I was bear hunting north of ely a couple of weeks ago and one of the guys in my group had the opportunity to harvest a bear, he took the shot with a lumenok insert on the arrow. Make a long story short, it was very nice tracking that bear, followed the blood, dang, no more blood, looked around for a bit and there that beacon was shining, about 75yds out.
Best of all, it wasn’t moving!
I have 2 ready and willing, hopefully one of them will find their target this weekend.

Coyote, “stays lit for 40 hours” I just picked up a pack, and it says “stays lit for days”. I can’t see it staying lit for days, it looks like a lighted bobber battery, so I am guessing maybe 30 hours.

Myself and some of the guys that I hunt with have used them since they where available, none of us would hunt with out them. You can definately see point of entry, if it’s a pass thru or not and if it sticks in the animal you can see them a long ways away at dark for tracking. Just my 2 cents
