Another cheap alternative is to just get glow in the dark paint and do streaks on the shaft.  Like Geoff said, it doesn't last that long, but it's better than nothing.

Unfortunately these only fit aluminum  insert shafts.

You can buy them for carbon shafts at the manufacturer's site. I've used them for target shooting in the past. They are the Cadillac of LARP arrows (And proportionately-priced).

that would be interesting if you had arrows that did a certain damage type... such as red ones for fire, green for earth... and so on... great... now you are giving me ideas!

Personally I'd rather see a battle where the good guys have red nocks and the bad guys have green nocks and main mod turns into Star Wars.

Don't make me bring back out the glowing el-wire latex sword.  ;)

Edit: PS. When I used to shoot at night, I used the long, thin, necklace type glow sticks & simply taped them along the shaft of my arrows.  Sure, it made them less accurate, but when shooting at night, it was difficult at best to hit my targets. The glow sticks did little to worsen my shots.

I looked into this, but the paint was expensive... and it only lasts like an hour if you're lucky.
