Abstract
A nock or an arrow having a nock with a chemical light source allows an archer or hunter to more easily locate and retrieve an arrow that has been shot from a bow. The nock is inserted into an arrow, wherein the nock comprises a body having an end for receiving a bowstring and an insert projecting from an opposing end. The body is formed of a translucent material for transmitting the light so that the light is visible to a user or others. The nock has a recess formed in the insert and the body. A chemiluminescent lightstick is utilized as the light source, and the insert is inserted into an end of the arrow.
