    I am trying Eastons Tracer lighted nocks this year, hopefully they work as advertised. Scoot

    I'm giving NuFletch IGNITOR lighted nocks this year. So far I like them.

    I shoot red Nockturnals. I tried another brand first (because they were cheaper) and was very disappointed. Half the time they didn't work. I went and paid the extra for these and love them! This is my second season with the same ones and they are still going strong. You can buy extra batteries for them fairly cheap. Pay the little extra and get these. From someone that has gone through the pains of research for you.

    I use Lumenok's I like quite well...their easy to shut off,bright,long battery life,and you can replace the battery.Ive used Nockturnals too,but I've heard stories of the ears breaking,which acts like a dry fire...never had that issue with my Lumenoks! Don't use those Knock outs though...I have had those explode after hitting a target.

    I got my first pair of Lumenoks a few weeks ago, immediately put them on my arrows and found that they hit about 2 inches high, which surprised me..I thought they would have been heavier than the standard CX Red nocks and hit a little lower. Either way, no big deal but they can be a pain to turn off. I think I broke one while trying to turn it off but it's still it after about 4 days. Although it's not as bright, it's still lit

    Lumenocks and Launchpads is what I have used and both worked fairly well for me. I tried the nocturnals but did not like the difficulty of turning them off.

    I bought some nockturnals for the wife.
    Never again, one wouldn't shut off, and a month later the activation switch fell out of another.
    It wasn't like she shot them a lot, actually just enough to sight in.
    Like the idea, but the quality is sub par.

    Nockturnals though might change. I have the greens nice and bright. I am having an issue with the nock coming out off the arrow when I take the arrow off the string if I do not shoot. The nock hangs onto string. I had to sand the inside of the nock just enough so it does not get stuck. I use the Carbon Express Reds which calls for Nockturnal S.

    I've had nockturnals by rage for about two weeks now. I can honestly say they are great nocks and super bright, my only complaint is the way you turn them off, other than that they are great.

    I use the blue nocturnals. Use pocket knife to turn off, pretty easy.

    I have been looking at the Nockturnal S for my Carbon Express Maxima reds. My question is which color do you find to best? Thanks for the help.

    I have red and green. I like the green better. They seem to be brighter. Easier to follow. I have heard that the pinks are the brightest.
