Give the Nocturnal Shift nocks a try. They have an on/off switch that doesn't require any tool.

 

I use the tip of a broadhead to shut them off. Only need to shut them off, after checking the flight of the arrow with a broadhead and after shooting an animal. maybe 3 times a season.

 

Halo lighted nocks are the first ones I've used that haven't had issues. I'm still not completely sold on them though.

 

halo nock has been solid. The nock throat is smaller than most regular nocks, so you will most likely need to reserve your center serving so its not fitting too tightly on it. Besides that, havent had any issues. For reference, I am shooting them with my 80 pound hoyt. Nocturnals were soft, you could bend them with your finger. I dont recommend those

I've experience this in 4mm shafts but heck there's not a lighted nock out there that I recommend for any 4mm shaft. They are all flimsy due to the lack of material that's left over for the nock itself vs the lighting mechanism.

 

My vote is for Halo nocks.

 

Anybody try the lighted nocks from deer crossing archery?

 

Welcome to AT from northern Illinois……..nocturnals are my choice.

 

I've had great luck with nocturnal nocks.
If I have a nock that stops working I save it for practice

 

None they all suck

 

Deeppower from Amazon. For price bought 18 have 6 in practice arrows others in hunting arrows and spares. Everyone has been tested and works. Width of nock same as Easton nocks good string fit. Lusk archery on YouTube did review on them.

 

Tbh I just use some random Amazon ones. You get 6 for like 15 bucks or something like that. All lighted nocks suck so just get something cheap.

 

Something about cheap nocks on Amazon makes me nervous. I'm not confident enough in them to not blow up my bow. More power to you if you're willing to take that chance.

 

I've used cheap Amazon deepowers and they have been great

 

people like to dunk on nocturnal, but I've had great luck with them

 

the deer crossing archery lighted nocks are brite but the fit isn't the best you have to do the grocery bag trick

 

The home brew ones..

 

I've been shooting Lumenok's for years and I am very happy with every aspect.
I shoot every day and all my arrows have Lumenok's.
Customer service is second to none.

Hahaha 😂

 

Nockturnals have treated me well. Pretty easy to turn off with a field point or a broadhead. Lumenok did me dirty on a nice buck by not turning on, so you know I can never use one again lol. Still found the deer so all is well. Haven’t tried any others

 

I'm surprised no one has said luminocks. I think they are BY FAR the best. Sturdy, bright, solid. I think most pros who film their hunts (dudley, bee, etc.) use luminocks.

It's true that it is annoying to turn off the light, but I only use them hunting. Bow Only Outdoors has a good tutorial on how to modify your normal nocks so they weigh the same as the luminocks, that way your setup is the same all year. Plus, the throat is the same as most nocks.

Lumenok, top notch

 

I’ve been using Nockturals for years and always had good success. Red is the way to go the green do not show up well. I just use a tip of a knife or broadhead to turn them off

 

I use the standard nocturnals and like them a lot more than luminocks. I’d like to not use either of them but they are important to have. Turning off a luminock is a nightmare half the time when I think I got it off it turns back on right about the time I put the bow away for the day. The little switch on the nocturnal is nice and I can turn it off quick with a nail I keep on the foam of my quiver. I only have experience with those two brands and think the nocturnals are way better

 

I’ve had pretty good luck with nocturnals same as gordon1990. Not sure if it’s my eyes but blue ones are the worst color for me.

 

I bought some of them Deep Power lighted nocs after that Lusk guy reviewed them. 2 did not work, period, 1 was dim, 1 I could not shut off and I threw the other 2 away and bought some Nocturnals strobe nocks

 

Same experience here with the Deep Power. Ordered a pack of 4 and 2 of them wouldn't even light up straight out of the pack.

 

I think the g or gt sized nockturnals are pretty stout with great tolerances but I’ve committed to 5mm axis a while back, I haven’t found a nock that lights up and doesn’t break from normal use. White fletchings and white x nock has been my compromise.

 

I've had really good luck with the 5mm Nocturnal Shift nocks. Been shooting them for about 2 months now without any issues. There's no up and down flexing in the nock like there is in the 4mm (G nock) so my longer range groups have held up with impacts the same as my regular Beiter nocks. I do have my Beiter nocks weighted the same as the Nocturnals.

 

Lately I have been running Halo's. Prior to that it was Glory nocks, and Nockout and luminock prior to that.

Halo's are the best that I have used in 5 and 6mm shafts. They seem to have a pretty consistent string groove and fit the serving just like my easton X, H and G nocks do.

I think you are going to get the occasional dud with any lighted nock brand.

 

I use the cheap ones from Amazon. I'm not sure i Have had a failure yet and have bought plenty of them. I put them on all my practice arrows.
