    How much will putting nockturnal nocks on affect your arrow compared to regular nocks if you don't do any adjustments to your sight?

    None at all for me. I have been shooting them for going on 3 years now. I have shot 2 different brand of arrows since using them and I have not had to make any adjustments. I buy enough of them for my practice arrows as well.

    At hunting range, not enough to notice.

    I don't see a difference between them and my stock X nocks and I have been using Noctournals for about 3 years

    I have never noticed a difference either when shooting seem to be dead on with nockturnals.

    Ditto what the others said. The only difference I see is long range, 50+. At normal deer killing range I didnt see any difference.

    thanks guys i just put some on right before i went hunting and didn't know it the tiny bit of extra weight would make the arrow heavy enough i need to compensate for it

    The difference between the Nocturnals and the average standard nock is about 8-10 grains. At hunting distances, out to say 50 yards the difference is so small you'll never notice.

    ZERO. I have been using them for years & have never noticed a difference.
