Hi,
I need some advices. This summer I bought a new crossbow. It is a Ravin R10. I went hunting last September. I had a double tag to fill. My hunt end up with two big does. Both deers were at 15 yards or so went I shot them. Both time I did not was able to see were the shot went. I thought I could see my arrow goes because of the scope. I was bowhunting for the past 20 years and most of the time I was able to see where my arrow hit the deer. It's a little disturbing to see nothing. I used the regular nocks that came with the crossbow. My question is, will it be a good thing to buy Luminock or because of the speed I will still see nothing?
Thank you for your help,

Claude

I do not mean to be controversial but personally I have completely stopped using them. In my experience the deer can (sometimes?) see them coming and have more time to react especially with the longer shots. I know that folks are going to disagree with me but I believe my own eyes and own experiences.
