    I started out shooting Lumanoks but after having them not work on 2 shots and how hard they were to turn off I switched to Nocturnals and love them. They always work and are easy to turn off because they are button activated.

    So my question for you is... What lighted Nock do you shoot and why do you like them?

    I use Nockturnals also. I have tried Nockturnal, Lumenok, Launch Pads, and Nock Out's. The Lumenok's were a hassle to fit to the arrow and didn't always light up. The Nock Out nocks failed twice. I really wanted to like the Nock Out's since they are made in the USA. But one nock pulled apart, the other the bushing sheared and it ruined an arrow. I was one of the first guys to buy them when they came out and I hear they made some changes but I am gun shy now. Launch Pad's were good but not as easy to find. So since Nockturnals have yet to fail me I continue to use them.

    Nocturnals for me. I have been shooting them for a few years now and they work really well. They have helped me find a few arrows after I missed the target from long distances.

    Sounds like Nocturnals are the way to go. Might go buy some today.

    I have been using Nocturnals for several years and they always seem to work as they should. No problems ever.

    Nockturnal as price is reasonable to others, weight is friendly, easy to use, and always light up!

    I love nocturnals they have never failed for me in the field. Do not leave them on your target arrows once they are dead, sooner or later they will break.

    I shoot pink nocturnals. They are easy to insert and easy to turn off. I did have the nock break off and the insert stay in arrow when I shot my turkey this year. That's the only problem I've ever had.

    I am going against the general concensus here, but I have been using Nock-outs and they have been great for me. They have a collar to lock them off for when you aren't using the arrow/going in/out of the woods, ect. Lumnoks would get bumped on and burn out and were a pain in the arse to turn off after a shot and the arrow was collected. I haven't tried Nockturnals, so can't comment on them at all.
