I have the Excaliber Axe 340
Bolts are flat backed, threaded 16.5"

I want to get the lighted bolts

Who has used them out of a X bow?

Patrice for sure but don't know if she shoots moon nocks or flat nocks. They do make lighted nocks for Excalibur accepted bolts. The forum on the this webpage has a lot of relevant info to peruse too: https://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/

I shoot Ten Point Pro Elite carbon bolts with lighted knocks. They are 20" in length.

Really nice to follow the bolt to point of impact and nice for recovery too.

I use them. I have used lumanock and Nufletch Igniter lighted nocks. I prefer Nufletch. They make lighted nocks for different sized shafts. A lighted nock sure does make it easier to see where your arrow goes and lets u find you arrow easier after the shot. Both of the above companies make lighted nocks with a flat end on them. Good Luck.

My wife and I both use lighted knocks. Arrows are too expensive to lose.

I like the Newfletch because it was easier for me to figure out on their website what size nock I needed for my shafts and also they come on and turn off easier and more reliably for me than the lumanock. I have had some lumanocks shut off on impact when hitting a deer and also come back on in my quiver by themselves and drain the battery until it dies. With the nufletch on in on and off is off. I have not used lumanocks in about 5 years. They may have fixed those problems in recent years.

Also this time of year Nufletch often has a sale that lets you get their lighted nocks for a very good price. I have not had a chance to look at their website to see it they are having the sale at this time.

I just recently got my lighted Xbow bolts and they are Mission which is made by Mathew"s. No idea if they make their own lighted knock or if they are just what they use on their shafts..I got mine after talking with Patrice about her bow. She shoots same bow I have so I decided to use same bolts she does.
They are really nice and easy to follow your shot even in full sun light. I haven't shot any critters yet just targets.

I use Lumenoks for my Excalibur bolts. I replaced the factory nocks with them.


Eh...wot?

I use lumenoks and they work perfect. I wasn't for sure how much i was going to like them but they work fine and help in a few ways. I get a secondary chance to see and realize where exactly i hit. A lot of times the flash from them help you identify your shot very well. Secondly I can see my bolt right away stuck in the ground or laying somewhere after shot. So simple how well they work for me.

I buy most all my Excalibur crowsbow stuff from Wyvern Creation. Check out his custom arrows for the Excalibur crossbows. Any questions email David the owner.He gets back to you fast.....anything crossbow I usually ask him for advice.

I shot them for the last couple years. Nice to see it better but the lumanoks added 30 grains to the back so I had to go to a heavier broadhead too get a good FOC. $115 bucks for a half doz headhunter bolts with,. And 34 bucks for without. Batteries can go dead. That weight made a difference in how flat my bolts shoot. Next year I'm shooting my regular bolts.

I shoot 20" Excalibur Fire Bolts out of my Exocet. I swapped out the factory knocks for Lumenoks. I remember being concerned about a weight difference so I weighed both and the difference was negligible. I didn't notice any change in point of impact at normal shooting ranges.

Batteries are supposed to last forty hours when the light is on and are replaceable.
