Legalize Lighted Nocks

<p>The use of Lighted Nocks for archery hunting is currently illegal in the State of Idaho. This regulation has been in place for years and it must change.&nbsp;</p><p>I think everyone would agree that a clean kill and quick recovery is the ultimate goal for archery hunters. Too many majestic wild animals are lost due to many different factors. For instance in low light conditions such as early morning and late evening, it is very difficult to see the flight of an arrow. If the animal is hit, it is also difficult to tell where the animal was hit. If the shot was poor, the hunter would not know the amount of time to wait in order to attempt to recover the animal. The use of a lighted nock would assist greatly in this situation because the hunter would be able to see the flight of the arrow and where the arrow struck the animal.</p><p>After an animal is shot with an arrow, it is very important to find that arrow. This is important because the arrow can tell us if the shot was good or bad by the type of blood found on the arrow. Arrows can be very difficult to find and the use of a lighted nock would greatly improve the chance of recovering the arrow and also recovering the animal that was shot.&nbsp;</p><p>The legalization of Lighted Nocks would improve the success of archery hunters and assist greatly in the recovery of animals shot with arrows.</p>
