Hi Viz Reflective wraps and orange vanes works wonders!
You can put it on a drawboard and you will see if there is nock pitch. Just put the knock in with out an arrow. If points up or down you have knock pitch. Most set ups do not need nock ties ins. These are usually for people that cannot tie in a D-Loop properly and you want to reduce the space of the D-Loop. to the nock.
Yes...I like serving above and below personally...you would be just fine with one below, but I like one above and one below...just make sure he sets those nock points using the lighted nock you plan on using...leave just a little play for the nock and then tie D-Loop above and below nock points snug and you shouldn’t have a problemAfter hunting yesterday and examining my nock point with standard nocks it does like more to be nock pinch because even my standard nock is perfect but the nocturnal are alittle fatter. Next time I go the archery shop I’ll be getting strings replaced I’m sure my bow tech knows what needs to be done but just my curiously how would you fix this nock pinch without having a loose mocking point yes a anchor knot below but what about the top so there is a snug fit? Another anchor knot on top but move the top of the d loop alittle higher up the string?
I started this year using my broken ones that still light up at markers for trailing blood works pretty well.I think they are great for under 30 yard shots. Over that and it’s too risky for messing with accuracy. I wanted them to find my arrows as dang that I’ve lost arrows that way. They seem to bury in the ground half way to the other side of the globe.
I have started using white wraps and blazers... hoping that helps. But ditched the lighted nocks. Although I used Dudley’s trick and stick them on targets.
I also keep on on my third arrow (3 arrow quiver): I turn it on at night when walking in woods as a beacon to people who like to shoot noise.

I wouldn’t figure it would be feasible to use them with trad gear seeing how particular your arrow flight has to be. Better watch out saying that too much some of these trad guys may not like you trying lighted nocks on tradMy perfectly bare shafted arrows with a regular nock from my trad bow do not bare shaft well when I use a Nocturnal nock. I like the lighted nock concept but not at the expense of a well tuned arrow....
lol - naw they won't mind - the trad hunters here on saddle hunter are pretty easy to get along with....I wouldn’t figure it would be feasible to use them with trad gear seeing how particular your arrow flight has to be.

As I said it is not every case, but in many cases. Just because you can find a video does not mean there are not better ways to address and tune a bow. I would suggest that you look at all options before putting unneeded weight on your bow. Use the right D-loop materials, tie the D-loop on correctly, try different lighted nocks. D-loop size, etc. If then you believe that you need to tie in the nock then he go ahead.Tons of people put tie in nocks inside d loops for good reasons and it isn't because of a lack of skill.
