I’ve always shot the green Nockturnals, but I’m thinking about trying the white “Universal Fit” ones. Just not sure on if they would be as bright as green ones. I don’t see any videos of the white ones online. Would Really like blue ones, but I can’t find any blue Nockturnals that fit my Rampages which are size X. Anybody have any input?

They move to the sound of the bow. The color ain’t gonna be the problem cuz it’ll already have hit them. It’ll be if you make a crappy shot not the color of the nock. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I use white bc it matches my setup, they arent as bright as the greens, the green just stands out more. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
i saw the white ones at cabelas today. I youtube searched them because i wanted to see example. found nothing but almost still bought them. ended up with more flashing strobes nocks
Yeah, I tried looking them up too. I think I’m just gonna grab a pack and see if they’re Decently visible. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I don't see a point in white lit nocks. Seems too easy to be lost by the eye in flight. I'd rather use a contrasting color, green, orange or red.
That’s what I was thinking, but I was hoping somebody could prove me wrong cuz they look appealing. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Speed of sound is a lot slower than speed of light. So if a deer can jump the string based on sound the deer can see the lit nock before it hears the sound of the string.
Let me shoot a lighted nock at you and see if by the time you saw it where it would be at. Then it’ll be settled Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Well wait you said that the deer can react from the sound of the bow, but by the time the bowstring hits the string stop the light is already on. A deers reaction time is way faster than a human's so if you believe that a deer can react to the sound a bow makes, it can also see the light from the nock because light travels much faster than sound. If you believe a suddenly glowing green light does not alarm a deer that's fine but do not deny the science of the speed of sound vs light.
It’s not a belief that deer react to the sound of the bow It’s a known fact tho Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Listen I explained what I use to move the deer off a plot after dark and I know thru personal experience that deer react to a green laser light. Common practice is to use a red lens on a flashlight when walking to a stand because of deer not reacting as much because of vision limitations. 2 reasons why I use red instead of green. You don't have to that is your decision.
Deer see red and green light as the same shade of gray. Id say its the laser youre using more so than the color of the light. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Try a red laser like you have laying around for the daughters house cat, try it more than twice then try a green one.
