Curious why you want a stab flashlight? A flashlight by itself is lighter and smaller than holding your bow out. Headlamps are great too.

X2 I have a small compact flashlight good out to 700 yds...100 yds is like daylight...

However it is illegal to shoot after legal light so that is just asking for problems and will make most F&W officers look at you weird...

The flashlights I have make blood shine like floresant...
to even blood trail holding out a bow will get old quick...even walking out of a stand with bow out...as Lefty suggested... makes more sence...

The guys who want to maintain fair chase....the ones with ethics

It is unlawful to,

set out, use or employ any of the following items for the purpose of hunting any wildlife:

an arrow equipped with an explosive head,
a firearm that is capable of firing more than one bullet during one pressure of the trigger or a firearm that can be altered to operate as such,
a light,
a shotgun of a gauge greater than 10,
a device designed to deaden the sound of the report of a firearm,
recorded wildlife calls or sounds, or an electronically operated calling device except; 1) when hunting migratory game birds with the use of calls or sounds that mimic snow geese, or 2) using electronic calls to hunt crows, magpies, coyote, red fox and wolf (using sounds that mimic these animals, rabbits, hares, or rodents).
a pistol or revolver unless
– the person is a licenced trapper (holding a federal authorization) who is dispatching an animal caught in a trap, or
– it is an air powered pistol or revolver that discharges a projectile at less than 500 feet per second (often used for hunting small game).
live wildlife,
a swivel set or spring gun, or
a poisonous substance or an immobilizing drug.

Flashlights are pretty much usless 20 min on either side of legal light. It would need to be well past legal shooting hours to actually be of use......however this could be very useful when zombie hunting at night!

Trophy Ridge has quiver with a built in light. I'm going to try it out this year. It's design for walking in/out of your location before/after dark. LED lights.
I'm a headlamp guy too.
