Lighted nocks suggestions

[Briar Friar]

Are nockturnals still the favored go to for trad lighted nocks? Im in the market for acquiring some lighted nocks.

Ive a set of glory nocks. Ive used them during practice and hunting before. The nocks have a tendency to turn on when I draw back…3 under on 60” bow. I allow that the string angle and nock throat depth play a crucial roll in this union and have found the shallow throat of S nocks dont play well with my setup. I shot a doe a couple seasons ago with the glorys and she immediately flopped and the nock stabbed into the soil subsequently turning it off…however she was down for the count. After that I got away from using them.

Ive read the past threads and it doesnt seem that this topic has been rehashed since about 2017.

Thanks for your suggestions and any guidance.

I honestly use the Chinese knockoffs from Amazon. They work just as well, and are a fraction of the price. I'll include the link to the ones I always get.

These are what I use also. No issues at all for me.

I've been using the NAP Thunderglo. Works well. Most of the time I get several dead animals out of them before they either quit working or lost. The key is to clean the blood out quickly after a kill.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Gives me more options.

These things say they last 60hrs vs 20 hrs with Nockturnals. Wow. Can anybody confirm this?

[CamoQuest]

I can’t vouch for how long a Nocturnal will stay on, but I still have the arrow I shot my first bow deer with from 9 years ago, and it still turns on and glows, lol. Those things last!

Will these fit Gold Tips?

I was looking at those just last night.

I've built my own, but don't want to mess with making them fit these skinny carbon shafts. If I decide to buy some, these are what I'll get.

Yes. I have cheap GoldTip Hunters for pigs and theses knocks fit them.

I second the Amazon knock-offs. I just bought a 6 pack a couple weeks ago. They fit my Gold Tip arrows well. I can’t speak for longevity, but first impressions are positive.

Good intel push Yall.

I have only used the nockturnals as I haven’t needed to look elsewhere. They advertise 20 hours but I never turned mine off a couple weeks ago on a buck I shot and it was glowing for a solid 72 hours.
