Nockturnal Lighted Nocks

[LC]

I'm about the most traditional person I know! I make my own laminated recurve bows, make my own strings, make my own fletching out of turkeys I beg from friends, do my own butchering of meat, do my own taxidermy, and make my own knives to butcher! With that said I USE carbon arrows and lighted nocks. Specifically Nocturnals! I can't imagine hunting without them! To each their own.
So I guess I fall out of the realm for trad police! So be it! Been at this "trad" thing for about 40 years now!

I'm not trying to be " traditional ", just trying to be me

I left one laying on my bench for 2 weeks and it was still bright enough you could see it in the dark from a good distance..they last a really long time.

Just got a pack to try and was shooting them last night! love them! they are awesome.

ordering some more packs today

I've used them off and on thru the years.  On two different occasions on solo bowhunts I found deer that I shot that otherwise would have been a grid search in the daylight.  Steep shot angle on both that resulted in one hole going in and none coming out and no blood trail to speak of.

They don't help you shoot better but they do help with what you shot!  Right?

[tecum-tha]

For nighttime training they are fun.
For hunting? No thanks.

I like them but they clash with my loin cloth and clam shell knife.
 I enjoy the romantic aspect's of traditional archery/ hunting but there is a place for technology.
 Without it we'd still be in a loin cloth with stone tools.
 Just don't let technology take the place of skill.

Excellent, my sentiment exactly Drew.

Really like the nocturnal's.

I hadn't used mine 4+ years due to surgery and loss of my hog hunting lease.  Shot one of my hog arrows with the Noctural nock the other day and still working after just sitting all that time!

[Broken Arrows]

I have never used them. How do they effect the spine of the arrow? I assume they would stiffen the spine. Can you take one of your tuned arrows and just place the nock in and go for it or do you have to tune using them?

[BWallace10327]

I've shot my some of my best 3d rounds when someone in the group shoots with these nocks, but only if they shoot accurately. The lighted nock just recently became legal to use in Colorado archery season, but I don't know why it was outlawed in the first place.

[drewsbow]

no extra tuning needed , just plug and play

 How have you been Gery ?

[Broken Arrows]

I feel my wallet getting lighter.

[Basinboy]

I don't always shoot them but they really help in low light to see where you hit. Here's a hunt that I self filmed where the luminock made it easy to see the hit especially for the viewers watching the footage.

So what are your favorite lighted nocks?
Never used them before.
How many grains are they?

[katman]

Doing well Drew, waiting on turkey season.

sightsee, nocturnals are highly thought of here. I have tried others but come back to them.

Broken arrows, as long as your setup well tuned its plug and play like drew said. Never had to adjust tune for the nocturnal nock.

is there a preferred color? Does one color show up better than the others?
