Lighted Nocks
Picked up a few new arrows today and added lighted nocks. Thought it would be cool for filming. How many of you guys and gals use them and if so do you like them?

Re: Lighted Nocks
I don't hunt without them. Makes the footage that much better imo. you can see exactly where you hit

Re: Lighted Nocks
I've been messing with them this summer. Added some weight to the back of my arrow which I don't like. It took my foc to like 8%. Didn't effect much at say 20-35 yards but at longer distances I really noticed my groups get bigger and arrow drop.. I must say, they are really cool to watch flying through the air.

Re: Lighted Nocks
I've tried them all. Personal preference but would recommend using the Nocturnals. Ease of use and are the most reliable that I have used over the years. As Ridgerunner stated they do affect most set ups after 40 yds. Lower poundage setups can be drastically different when shooting. They can be life savers in multiple ways. Thought I made a great shot on a late season giant 4 years ago. Was 14" snow and I stalked into 40 yds of a slob. Shot looked good but as I went to go look where I shot there was my nock lit up under the deep snow. It saved me lots of sleep after I realized I had a clean miss... would of never found that arrow without lighted nock.

Re: Lighted Nocks
I shot a doe once on film and at the shot she droped and broke off the back of the arrow inside her. The shot was steep and I got one lung. Blood ran out quickly.... After losing blood, I walked the trails finding other sign like fresh running tracks and such and was having a hard time when something glowing in the distance caught my eye... The whole side of the doe with its short sept hide ( opening day Wisconsin ) was glowing and could be seen from a distance... I have the whole thing on film. Need to put it together one of these days.

Re: Lighted Nocks
Another vote for green nocturnals, the positives far outweigh the negative in my opinion.

Re: Lighted Nocks
I tried the luminocks 6-7 years ago and didn't like them. Maybe I'll have to give the nocturnals a shot? I hear a lot of people say how much they like them.

Re: Lighted Nocks
just started using them this summer. they are the rage brand(pink). they are very nice. shoulda been using them all along. it almost startles me a bit when i c it flying cause im not use to it and forget they are on there . i got a half dozen with and a half dozen without. il get more before season starts so i have plenty. i just shot a stupid robinhood today and am ticked. i have never done that in all these years shooting---what a waste of arrows, im hoping i can get that arrow out of the other one but dont know if i would trust it to shoot after that....

X2! I did not have good luck with Lumenock. I think I'm ready to try the Nocturnals this season.

Re: Lighted Nocks
Been wanting to get some lighted nocks. Thanks for the reminder........just ordered a 3 pack of red Nockturnals.
I tried Lumenocks before and didn't care for them. Hopefully these will be better.

Nockturnals are awesome. Lumenocks suck.
