Well now that you question me maybe I am wrong. I always assumed it was to help locate a deer that the arrow did not get a complete pass through

At the range, I use it to verify that my arrow is flying true. I figure once I'm hunting, it'll help me find the arrow as I doubt I'll be able to see where I hit.
 
Green seems brightest, then pink is slightly easier for me to see compared to red, then red & lastly blue seems to be most difficult to see at longer distances

I have a mixture of green , pink and red in my quiver

Never tried white

I’ve always used it for helping figure out where I actually hit on the deer. Didn’t use one on the deer I shot last minute of legal light last year and had no idea where I actually hit it. Ended up waiting 2 hours and calling in blood dogs for a deer that was double lunged

I don't know the intended purpose....I thought it was so u could see impact point. I think they help in lots of ways and for me personally required on my hunting arrows...I wish they weren't so problematic
 
After doing some reading my main purpose wasn’t even listed. Goes to show how much I know. Figuring out good arrow flight and help in assisting on where you hit the deer was the main purposes.

IMO White is the brightest. Got them on accident last year and they are crazy bright
 
Pink because it matches the pink vanes I put on my hunting arrows.

This will be my first year using lighted nocks. My main purpose in getting them was for being able to see the point of impact. However, I have already seen another great benefit in having them for the tuning process. I did bare shaft nock tuning for my arrows both last year and this year. The process was made MUCH easier this year by having lighted nocks. I could shoot the bare shaft arrows at the target at 15-20 yards and if the arrow wasn't flying perfectly true I would see a big vibration in the lighted nock on impact, but there would be almost no vibration when everything was flying perfectly.
