Best Lighted Nocks

NMSbowhunter said:
Nocturnal nocks are the only ones I have experience with. They used to be a lot better than they are now. Sometime about the point they went to one size nock body and adapters to fit multiple shafts seems to me to be when the quality control went down. The old style where they made dedicated sizes to fit different shafts were much better, I could clean them off and reuse them many, many times. I've had the newer style not last past one use on a target in the yard.

If I buy some more before the season, I am tempted to try Luminoks.

I'll be interested to see what others have to say. Following.

They still make them in a one size body. You got the universal ones they make with size selection. My one size body ones are on 3rd season

It took 7 days for my Ignitors to move out of the initial post office, but then quickly made it close to my place by last night (WPB, Fl) before jetting wildly to Texas! So much for a 3 day delivery!! lol! Glad I've got a few months!

How have the ignitors been working out for you guys? Thinking about picking some up
 
I rarely practice with the lights in them but just as a nock, I’m happy. When I use with bulbs in them, they work flawlessly.
 
Working good. As others have stated, shoot mostly without bulb
 
Glory Nocks are my favorite, hands down. I’ve tried others, including the cheap Amazon ones and had flight issues with most of them.
 
I would not recommend Woody’s Starburst nocks. Really wanted to like them and they would be my favorite if they were reliable. I ordered 2 six packs a while back n immediately started shooting those on my 3D range. After the day only 4 were still functional. A couple weeks ago I opened the other 6 pack to get my hunting arrows ready for season. Straight out of the pack only 2 of the 6 worked before I even shot them.

Worst part is I’ve tried to contact them several times over the past 2 weeks about the issue (4 emails) and the only response I’ve gotten is an automated “someone will contact you within 48 hours” response.

I can understand if I just got a bad batch because I’ve had reliability issues with most every brand I’ve tried. However, I can’t and will not support or recommend piss poor customer service.

I'm starting to understand why the bow shops I've been to have a sign "no returns on lighted nocks." I bought two 3 packs of nufletch ignitors and 3 of the lights were bunk. I contacted them past the 2 week return policy and didn't get a response, my fault for not testing them right away.
 
I’m still loving my NuFletch igniters! I have LOTS of them at this point and had 1 or 2 that failed to light. Because the light bulb and battery are a separate piece from the nock, you can tell right away by manually turning it on and off it is going to work well. Considering I have about 20 and one or two aren’t great, I think that’s not bad. If I turn the bad ones on and off a few times, they might wear in and work better. One thing I found is the nock sleeve will miss form inside the arrow sleeve on my practice arrows so I always use a new spare one when hunting.
 
GloryNock for me also made by doubletakearchery they are working great, no tools to shut them off.
 
I shot through a deer and while looking for the arrow in the dark, I saw this red light glowing under 3" of snow, pretty cool looking, I guess you just had to be there?

Update on Woodys customer service. It took 3 or 4 emails before I finally got a response and the communication back and forth from there was slow but….

The guy I spoke to told me to send all the non working ones back to them and they’d make it right. They didn’t send me a return label so I had to pay the shipping.

I sent them out earlier this week and followed up with an email. The guy responded quickly this time and said they’d ship my replacements as soon as the bad ones arrive.

It took some persistence but at the end of the day if they send replacement nocks and they actually work I’ll be ok. Still not sure if I’d place an order with them again.
