Best Lighted Nock
 

What does everyone think for the best lighted Nock? Currently i'm using Luminoks but not sold 100% on how hard some turn on and off. Thoughts season is 55 days and counting....

Firenock hands down

+1 for firenock

Best bang for the Buck would be the Nocturnals. They have consistently proven themselves in test after test to be exceptionally bright, durable and most importantly.... affordable.

One of the highest quality is indeed the Firenock but they are more fragile PLUS if you shoot a bow around 300 fps or faster then you'll need an installation tool to instal and glue a special end cap into the shaft to prevent the internal parts of the nock from blowing forward into the arrow. It's a lot to go through for a nock that costs over $25 EACH!

I was going to ask about the Nockturnal the tech guys from Firenock told me to use that brand (Nockturnal) because it's the only nock that will work with xx75 and the uni bushing. Firenock says they hate to turn customers away but say that nockturnal are the only brand the recommend. I've tried all the other less expensive in the past with carbon arrows but didn't like the inconsistancy from them including the luminocks. I think i will order some of the red Nockturnals tonight. Thanks

just recieved the nockturnals and the work flawless. No glue, No Tabs, NO wiggling, fits carbon, fits uni nocks, They don't slide in and out, Don't get lose and fly out. Easy insert on shaft draw back and release and instant very bright light, easy to turn off with a small wire or ball point pen. Then Repeat. Works everytime. I would highly recommend these. Currently making my own matched weight nocks so i can practice without using them. Also only 20 grains. Only down side is the don't have replaceable batteries but there $ 25 for 3 with i think 5 colors to choose from. Great product

I have had the best luck with Nockturnals. Lots of problems with Tracer nocks. Luminocks were too loose in the arrow and would turn off on impact.(I hear the new ones are much better. But have not tried.) I didn't like that you had to glue a piece of wood dowel into your arrow to use the Archers Flames. They did work good till the piece of wood moved deeper into the arrow shaft.

Does anybody have the mathews dead end string stop?? is it worth $50 bucks. and does it really make that much of a difference??

Nockturnals definitely!!!! Two thumbs up for their consistency to always work.

Another vote for the Nockturnals.

I had been using Firenocks, but now I will give Nockturnals a 'Shot'

i have never tried anything but the nockturnals and have been very pleased so far they have not failed me. that being said i havent had them very long only a few months

Tried them all now using nockturnals simple design, bright, light weight practiced all summer with them no failures awesome product at affordable prices

I was able to use the nockturnal this morning at almost 10 am and worked great even in full sun and saw the exact impact point as the deer ran away the nock was as bright as can be stuck in a corn stalk. After a short tracking job recovered my 1 st deer of a great season. Best thing is you don't have to worry about if its going to work or not and it's Awsome when you see that red nock slip through the exact point when you release.

I used to have the Easton Tracers, had lots of problems with them.

Nocturnal.. I have all three colors but I think the red is the brightest.

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.

I would agree. To make things even more cost effective i make my own weighted practice nocks. All you need is some

regular nocks (I use s-nocks)
5 min. epoxy
electric fence wire (or something simular gauge)
grain scale (about $45)

I find that the actual Nockturnal Nocks weight about 22 grains.

So I cut about an inch of wire mix up expoxy and use a toothpick to put epoxy into nock insert wire and stand nock on end for 24hrs to cure
Once cured weight what you made on the grain scale and start to nip off the wire until they are matched to the Nockturnals. Then you will have inexpensive practice nocks that if you happen to loose wont cost you a lighted nock.

I was a Nockturnal fan (mainly because they were five grains lighter than Lumenoks) until my last two kills. Both times the nock didn't light up, plus they're a bear to turn off when they're clogged up with blood. (Usually the battery runs down before I can rinse out enough blood to turn them off.)

I might switch back to Lumenoks.
