At the end of the day, they're not that expensive. Comparatively, if you shoot a $30 head, arrow, and nock 30 times for practice, you get as much bang for your buck as you would when firing $1 per round out of a rifle. I know I've shot certain shafts hundreds of times, definitely getting my money's worth out of them. Using my dead lumenoks as practice nocks, I get my value out of them as well.

I use lumenoks, Mama uses Nockturnals. Mine are a lot brighter, her's are handier for turning them off. Both have been reliable. Lumenok's design makes them more prone to start popping out on impact after time (GT's at least).
I as well have shot both and I feel the green nocks are brighter longer and farther than the red IMHO. I shoot 100grn GrimReapers, Easton Full Metal Jackets with both NockTurnals and Lumenocks side by side in the quiver. Deer don't seem to mind the difference!!!!!!! And NM, great idea of using the dead ones for practice in place of live ones.
