Ledelighted Crossbow Nocks

Lumenok has introduced two additions to its lighted nock lineup: the TP 254 Nock for TenPoint bolts and the SQ300 Nock for Scorpyd crossbows.

Known as the creator of the original lighted nock, Lumenok continues to deliver American-made performance for serious hunters and crossbow shooters. The new TP 254 Nock is engineered to seat directly into TenPoint bolt aluminum bushings and is designed specifically for standard .254 ID metal bushings. Built to provide ultra-bright illumination and dependable tracking in the field, the TP 254 is designed for durability and consistency.

"The market has been flooded with cheap, inconsistent imported products," said a company representative for Lumenok. "We've stayed committed to building our products right here in rural central Illinois. American craftsmanship still matters."

Lumenok also introduced the SQ300 Nock, a precision snap-on capture nock designed specifically for Scorpyd crossbows, including the popular Death Stalker platform. Built for bolts with a .300 ID, the SQ300 delivers secure engagement and consistent alignment.
