Nockturnal or Lumenok? Maybe Archers flame?
If you have another favorite please let me know and why.
What are the advantages of one over the other?
My bow dealer sells both Nockturnal and Lumenok and he thinks the Nockturnals are the best around.
Had luminocks come on in a rain one day. Looked down and had a quiver full of lighted arrows. The water made the electrical connection.
Like the Nockturnal set up better.
I am waiting for a GPS tag in arrow heads so when you arrow an animal it leaves behind a GPS tracking tag making it easy to find those damn critters that take all night to track after a piss poor shot. lol
How do the lighted nocks affect your shot? If you use regular nocks and tune your bow and then slide the lighted knocks in how badly will they affect your shot?
I remember seeing in the 90's , but not since.
Did those fellas finally get their act together?? If I'm not mistaken, a lot of guys ordered lighted nocks from them only to wait long periods of time before they received them and some never did. They also were having the nocks split down the middle. Their CS wasn't very good last I heard.
With my Easton Axis 340's I didn't have a great fit. Some would stay on my string when I pulled the arrow off (not when shot), one fell off the arrow when the deer jumped a fence and one broke (nock gone, battery in shaft) as a deer ran off.
A friend was using them on Maxima Reds. He shot a deer and I helped him track. We found his arrow but no nock. 50 yards later we found the deer. Upon field dressing we found the nock glowing next to the deer's heart. It was kind of cool and shocking at the same time to see but definitely wasn't helpful in finding the deer.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend the Nocturnals....just my 2 cents worth.
He also did say that some arrows were not conducive for the lighted nocks because of the arrow diameters being different.
I have never used any lighted nock yet myself. I would be curious how they affect the arrow and if retuning is required. I know they weigh more than a regular nock but I am not sure if it would be enough that retuning is required?
yes they had some problems getting items shipped and also with some nocks splitting. I bout six and the ones I have used are very bright. I am somewhat afraid to shoot them anymore as I could never get an answer from TGB if the ones I have are safe, or from a batch that may have issues.
I did find that some fit well and others did not. Typically if the nock fit in one of my shafts it would work well in another and if it fit loose in one it fit loose in another.
