Lighted Nocks
What brand does everyone use and how do ya likem? Batteries last?effect arrow flight?etc..
|
Lumenoks are what I prefer, i have used the Tracers but didnt care for the magnet having to be on the bow o activate, I had a few during practice that didnt turn on. The Lumenoks havent failed me yet. I am waiting for ones to get here for my crossbow to try them out.
|
Alright Thanks for the Input!!
|
Firenock all the way. Much better made and has lit up every time.

Search for Nockturnal's. Most guys who have used Firenock's & Luminocks prefer them, and they are priced a bit better as well.

Agreed. Firenock. Best tech out there when it comes to light up nocks.
|
make my own, costs about $4 and takes about 5 minutes to do not including drying time.
I bought a pack earlier this yr to try out. 1 out of the 3 pack worked, and that 1 only worked a handful of times. Returned for my $25 and read about making them and did that. |
Well whatever you do don't buy the two-pack at Walmart, first one I shot disentegrated when I fired, was just enough left to pull it out of the arrow. Second one shot fine but went out about halfway to the target. When I went to get the arrow there was nothing there.
|
Only ones I've tried are Firenocks and I've been very pleased with them.
|
I've purchased 5 lumenocks in the last 5 years and I had one that didn't properly. This year I'm try the new Nocturnal Nock. So far is practice and the one deer I have shot, I am very pleased with them.
|
I've shot my Nock Turnal nock a few times now and really like it. It's very bright and hasn't failed to come on yet. The only thing I don't like about both it and all other standard nocks is how long the ears are, since I have a very small loop on my string and usually shoot short QAD Tune-a-nocks. For $8 they are awesome!
|
I used a G5 on a small buck not too long ago. The nock no longer works beacuse of the amount of blood that got in it. I enjoyed the nock until then but $20 for one deer is expensive. I should have used the Firenock...
|
If I remember correctly, FireNocks and Lumanocks are both made by the same place in Henry Il. The Burt Coyote Co. I may be wrong, but look it up. I use the Lumanocks and love them. Have several videos with them, including my Gold Series Catalina Ram taken in Jan. of 2008. It scored 1-3/8ths short of the then World Record!!!!! Red nock on white/tan hair, awesome!!!!!!!!

Nockturnal
Nockturnal all the way. I put the same nockturnal through a 7pt, 8pt, and a doe and it stills works great.
|
I will be switching to the nock-turnals,I have shot the luminoks and they work well and are very brite,but they have to maintain contact with the arrow to remain lit and with the way you have to wiggle them back to turn them off, they become loose pop out and are gone because they turn off as soon as they loose contact with the shaft!
The nock-turnals remain lit until you turn them off! |
/\/\/\ And the 2 are totally different. Lumenocks wont come close in durablity and dependablity. Good shooting.

Lumenok are made by Burt Coyote which use some wire, a LED which make contact with shaft and lights; is located in Yates City, IL I've lost several luminoks because of this, and when the last one I have is gone I'll be switching to the nokturnal. |

Archers Flame
Tried many brands and nothing beats the results of archers flame.They come on everytime.They are too simple to have a failure.They work like a small lights in the fishing bobbers.Push in pull out.
|
Im sure they put a lot of thought into there price, Just because you charge alot does not mean you going to make money there has to be a balance, if they could charge less make more and get a bigger share of the market im sure they would.
|
Whatever the price, I'll pay just to know it's going to work everytime. Like most things you get what you pay for.
