Which Lighted Nock System

[treillw]

Any of the lighted nock setups better than others?

Arrow diameter will either be .204 or .165 ID.

Coming up with a cost effective way of practicing is also a concern - I don't want to buy 24 lighted nocks between my wife and I.

The lighter the system the better as well.

Thanks!

Nocturnal G nocks seem to be the lightest - people say they weigh 13 grains, package says 20 grains, website info says 15 grains

Have had very good luck with the cheap lighted nocks on eBay. Never worried about a couple grains + or - from different brands. Just practice with what you buy.

Firenock is the only quality lighted nock on the market.

Nocturnal all the way for me and my group

If your going to get a cheap throw away nock I would use Lumenok. At least they are a Bohning nock. Nocturnals are extremely inconsistent as far as squareness to the end of the carbon and the tension exerted on the string.

Sad to hear this, as I like that they are the lightest I've found. Is there a way to square them up?

No they are mold injection. Guys still use them with success. Dudley has been shooting them for years, but he is very loyal to Feradyne.

I second the recommendation on Firenocks. They're a significant step up in terms of durability, reliability, consistent string/shaft fit, and overall quality compared to all other lighted nocks I've tried (and they're priced accordingly). Firenock also offers unlighted practice nocks, but there are ways to build your own weighted nocks on the cheap.

I’ve been happy with nockturnal

Lumenocks were too inconsistent for me in terms of lighting up.

Nockturnals were consistent but after shooting them awhile the ones in my quiver would buzz at the shot. Something was loosening up over time inside.

My flashing Firenocks will be here today.

Cool. Let me know what you think.

I've been using firenocks. I like them. BUT, they are expensive, and my quiver had a slight buzz at the shot or if it gets bumped. The buzzing is due to the circuit boards. I shoot practice weights in my field point arrows. Overall I like them. I don't know if I would use them again though. Would depend on the arrow build. They are better IMO then the other options. The nocks are solid and consistient weight as well as the boards and batteries. 17.81 grains on the circuit, battery and shock cap and 4.1 on the nock for 166 micros.

Are yours the updated versions with the shock caps that get glued in?

Yes. And I loathe glueing the caps in. Use the tool and soak in acetone to remove the superglue before you use on another one. Let them dry 2 or 3 days before you seal up the arrow. You can ruin circuits and batteries from the fumes from the glue. Also if you meet any resistance putting the battery in....stop. Clean out the inside of the shaft with acetone to get the superglue cleaned out to the shock cap. The only way to get a battery out that is stuck is to drill it out with a tiny drill bit. Don't take this as complaining. I wanted lighted nocks and this is the best system. Its just not the easiest to install. Very easy to use once all is done.

I use nockturnals but my brother uses the cheapest ones he can find. They work just the same. Fit the arrow well and light up when you shoot them and fit the string with the same tightness as a standard GT gold tip nock.

They all buzz or least any that I have found.

Nockturnal nocks

 

[roosiebull]

I have some glory nocks ordered. If I don’t like them, it will be firenock or no lighted nock. Have several nockturnals and don’t like how they fit in the shafts... some way too loose. They get shotty after awhile too.

I like the concept of lighted nocks, just don’t like the nocks, and firenocks are a pain to install for the price

Lumenok I have found to hold up the best in harsh conditions. Not the cheapest on the market but I have had them sustain some serious damage after a pass through and still killed other deer with them.
