I have the green Nockturnal’s, and I have shot all 3 of them many times. I have only worn 1 of them out after hundreds of shots. The other 2 are still working. I shot a doe this last Oct. and had to shoot 3 arrows as I spined her on the first shot. It was pretty dark by the time I got to her and I could see 3 green glowing areas under the leaves in the woods and I found all 3 of my arrows with much easiness. Had I not used Nockturnal’s I would have probably lost 3 Easton Axis Arrows and Montech Brodhead’s. So right there they paid for them selves. Plus it’s very easy to tell where your arrow went. If you happen to miss you’re first shot and get a second you may be able to adjust your point of aim based on your first arrows flight.
I practice with them in low light conditions, it fun to watch your arrow streak through the dim sky while you can also observe for tailing and bad arrow flight all before bow season. As you can see many positives and these are the simplest and cheapest lighted Nocks on the market currently. I’m ready to buy 3 more Nocturnals and I may go red this time just for a change. I didn’t noticed point of impact changes until 40 yards and beyond when compared to field points. I’m to the point I don’t like to hunt without them due to broad head and arrow prices.
I remember last season they were hard to find as the company ran into manufacturing issues but have since corrected.
I tried the Tracers one year but they often wouldn’t light up consistently, plus that darn magnet was always falling off my bow. Glad I got rid of the Tracers.
