Practicing with Luminocks

[treillw]

How do you practice with Luminocks without blowing out batteries and buying a ton of them?

Do they make a practice nock that weighs the same, so you can keep you arrow weight the same for practicing and hunting?

After you use them a while you usually end up with some that don't work and that is what I use for practice. I have also heard of people using different size set screws screwed into the bottom of the nock to make the nock weight even - either way should work

I have a couple I've killed deer with that no longer work. I shoot those when I BH tune just to verify.
For my other arrows I cut a piece of insulated wire and super glue it into the BH then use a grain scale to get the ~25 grains or whatever the weight is. Insulated NM wire fits perfect.

To be honest, POI (at least for someone who shoots like I do) is hardly noticeable but I like projects...

Here is a tutorial I did on another site. I hope I am not breaking any rules, just trying to help out some fellow archers:

I just shoot them. The batteries last a long time.

Last season I found an arrow in the dark 6 days after I shot a deer with it. Decided to leave it on and see how long I could see it in my basement. Well over a month and it was still on. I got tired of looking at it. These were cheap imitation nocturnals.

If shoot .204 ID arrows let me know I got a bunch of dead ones you can have.

I superglued pieces of 6-32 threaded steel rod inside my 0.204" Bohning A Nocks to simulate the weight of Firenocks. 6-32 steel rod weighs approximately 21 grains per inch and fits nicely inside these nocks. 8-32 rod fits better in 0.246" nocks.

I cut open a #7 1/2 shotgun shell and glued the lead pellets in the nock until I reached the weight I needed. The pellets fit a little loose and drop down inside nicely. If you need more weight then you can fit in the nock, just smash them down a little bit and then stack the little disks in and glue.

Once you shoot them a while the batteries will run out. Buy new ones for hunting, shoot the dead ones forever. Pretty simple.
