    I have Green Nockturnals, they look great on my ACC pro hunters, green and white NAP quikfletch quick spins.... Turning them off is very easy as stated above.

    I will also be shooting red nocturnals this season. It'll be my first time trying lighted nocks, but I can't wait to see one hit its mark and get a lil bloody!

    I have been using Nocturnals for the past two years and love them. The Firenocks are the brightest I have seen but have no experience in using them. I shot a deer last year with the Nocturnals and it was stuck on. Instead of trying to shut it off, I let it go until it completely ran out of light.........it was still dimmly light after three weeks. Nocturnals for me!!!!

    Nocturnals here. I've had luminocs break their leads inside when the arrow hits target (deer, tree root, block target). i had one nocturnal break on its first contact with a deer but that was the plastic on the end, it stayed lit for hours after the shot.

    I had crappy luck with Lumenocks. They didn't work consistently for me at all. I switched to Carbon Express lighted nocks and have been very pleased. They work every time, stay lit for hours, and are very visible. Just another option to consider. Good luck :)

    My lumenoks stay lit during flight but upon impact of the target regardless of what it is, they turn off. I think im going to try another brand
