    Which brand of lighted nocks do you use ?

    Looked on Amazon and there is so many to choose from!

    Last year I made a couple using the ''Thill Bobber Lights''. . They worked great for about 2 weeks, Then quit working.

    Thanks!

    I'm personally not a fan of the nockturnals. I don't care for the switch and they are not really that bright. I have had good luck with Luminok. I wish Luminok had the blue color like the nockturnals, they look awesome.

    I've been very happy with my CX Launchpads. I love that you can rotate them once installed and they're easy to turn back on.

    Same here. I hated luminoks. Could never get a reliable activation every time. Nockturnals were good. The Carbon Express launchpads have been the best in my opinion. Simple on/off, they rotate no problem, and they are bright. Also have same point of impact as my standard nocks. The luminoks were about 6" low and left.

    Yep. I'd only use luminok. Ended up throwing the nockturnal away after flicking a few out of my arrows just trying to switch the dumb arse things off. Bad design IMO.

    I have a few luminok and Carbon Express lighted knocks that I use with practice arrows and there simple to pull the light off after ever shot. You've got people googling how to turn off the nockturnals:(

    I stopped using Nocturnals. I have had to many turn off on impact. Last one I stopped working after pass through and I couldn't find my arrow. I've been using Firenocks and they are by far the best I have used. They are just really expensive. I am going to revisit Lumenocks as I understand they are better then they use to be.

    Wow! . . Thanks for all the replies!

    I may have to buy one of each to try out and see which one I like the best! . . Bass Pro sells the single packs.

    I know Ted Nugent likes the Lumenocks and claims they're the best, But I would too if I got them free! :)

    I never bought any brand of lighted nocks. . The only time I've ever used one is when I made a couple with the Thill Bobber Lights. . I'm not sure what happened, but I believe the batteries in them went bad. . I bought them at a small hunting/fishing shop, and he could have had them on the shelf for a long time.

    Thanks again ''everyone'' for all the replies!

    Bill
