I have not used lighted nocks, but it sounds like a good idea. I’ll have to check into it. I think my major problem was that I haven’t shot at a 3D target. I found it difficult to focus on a small target area when I was sighting up the deer. I reset myself twice before taking the shot. I think it’s one thing to aim at a circle target where a point of reference is easy to locate vs shooting at a deer which is just a brown mass. Not only that, but I was pretty excited leading up the shot. I was shaking pretty good. From the onset of the season, I told myself I wouldn’t take a long shot because I didn’t feel comfortable with it. I don’t even have a 40yd pin on my sight. I only have a 20 and 30. This is my first year seriously bow hunting, I’m learning as I go along. I’ll get one yet. The season isn’t even half over yet, and the deer are finally starting to move.
