Anyone use them?  If so, what brand?  I know feather tracers are popular, but I need to be able to see my arrow in the dark.

They are super cool!!!!!  Expensive boogers though.  I just carry one on my #1 arrow.  I use the carbon express brand, but have also used the orginal Luminock.  They are pretty cool deals.

I believe there is a build along here on TG. Do a search in the "How To' section.

NOckturnal lighted nocks are one of the newer additions to the lighted nock market and are easy to use, dependable, lighter than most.

Didn't see anything in the how-to.

..I get "fireflys" to ride on my primitive arrows Self-nock .... sorry just had to say that !!! lol!

I have used everything from the carbon express version to the original lumenock, and now I use the tracer . . . when I use a lighten nock. A while back I was using them all the time. Now I only use them when I feel like it. The only thing I hate about the tracer is the dang magnet, that is also the thing I love. I don't like having that magnet on my bow, but I have never not had it go off, like I have had with the other kinds!

I'm leaning towards nockturnals.  I had an "episode" the other evening when knowing that my arrow was only feet away would have been a huge advantage.

Be aware that they are illegal in some locales.  Colorado for instance, does not allow them.

Why not just use the fur tracers?  I shot broadhead league this summer with them on and was amazed how well you can see your arrow flight in late evening.

The fewer gizmos the better IMO.

Good one Jeff        
But how do you get them to stick to the end of your arrow?

I think that the lighted nocks are useful in lowlight situations, and for turkeys, where you don't want high visibility feathers to be seen.

Here's a good video on how to. It's similar to the one done here. I've made a few this way for my Dad and he loves them. They are fun to watch!

I just shot a velvet 4 point with a easton tracer, they work great, super useful when trackin. theyer a ton brighter than i expected them to be. surely wourth the money. they also allow you to "trace" the flight of your arrow extremely well, especially in low light.  the magnet is easy to mount on the front or back of your bow, and activates the nock up to an inch away. i would reccomend using extra adhesive on the velcrow, which will come off. double-sided tape works for me. anyway theyre just plain fun to shoot!

The fur tracer would not have worked.  I needed to know that the arrow was still with the animal and I was getting ready to step on it.  It would have been the difference between having another arrow on the way and not.  My arrows are usually laying on the ground on the other side of whatever I shot, but it wasn't to be this time.

I use firenocks on my MFX carbons and you can see them clearly even in sunlight.  Dorge has a website. No magnets....just inertia triggers them. For ordering search firenock. If I get three people to order and mention my name, I get free ones!

Kudos to all of you...a few years back these tools were considered taboo.  What a great addition to finding game.  I've been wanting to use them but haven't purchased them yet in fear of the wrath associated with them.  Hopefully our local fish and game will find them acceptable soon.  Get after it!

I use luminock. I only have 2 of them so they stay on my primary (first ) 2 arrows to shoot. Took a black bear last year using one and was able to see very easily exactly where the arrow hit the bear. The shot was a pass thru and I may not have seen what happened without the luminock, and I was also able to find the arrow in the grass easily after wards also. I love um!

JMHO

Is there one that will work with arrow dynamics trads?

do a search titled "my version of a lighted nock for a home made version".  Remember drilling out the nock may weaken the nock and it could break.  So far, mine has not but your milage may vary.

I have been checking into them but havnt seen any for g-nocks.Anyone know if they make them that size?

I have shot most.  IMO ..Firenock is the most dependable and has the most variety of light colors. Plus it cuts on and off by inertia..No magnets! Also the nock itself is arguebly the most accurate out there not us stick shooters are good enough to tell.........I didn't start shooting Lighted nocks till i started shooting $30 heads!

just remember , if you are lucky enough to take an animal that may qualify for pope and young status,using a electronic nock your "trophy" is automatically ineligable. just a note. ruddy
