Lighted nocks?

I tried the Amazon specials and they flew all over the place.

The best I’ve shot have been Glory Nocks. I love them.

Can confirm, they are everything the nocturnals should have been.

I've shot lumenocks, nocturnals, firenocks, and these. While I love the firenocks I hate all the rattling from the motion sensor. I always liked the nocturnals but my biggest beef is the switch wears out over time (anywhere between two shots and 50) and become super unreliable.

The activation mechanism on the halos seems MUCH more reliable. Will report back but so far they are giving my firenocks a run for their money.
 
I like the concept of lighted nocks and have tried them but it seemed to be a never-ending money pit, so I gave them up.

Got them in today. Only shot a handful of times but by far the best I've tried. I could easily see the red in full afternoon sun. It was against a black target though. On/off mechanism seems really great!

Not sure about the green target things in the same full sun. Still a cool idea. I'll try to report back in a timely fashion.

Shipping was faster than expected for what that's worth

I think the target things are for evening and night shooting! I want to try them....
 
Well I'm back

About 20 ( pretty close) no zoom at 9:30 pm in zip code 48838, Greenville MI. light fading very fast. Green is the target thing

No zoom. There is a red nock a little low and left. Skeeter on my head. Good enough for me. The high one is a surprise misfire, but also probably good enough for deer. I need to do better.

3x zoom. Looked better when I took it. Also much darker than the pictures would indicate.

The target things are cool!
 
One more. Now 9:50 p.m. it's practically full on dark. Not quite when I'm outside but for all intents and purposes we're well past legal light, IMO. 10.4x zoom from 20yd . Had to zoom to try and do them a , *little* justice. I can see them distinctly @ 20 with my eyes

Ordered some blue SB4 nocks for the trad bow. All 6 lit well in testing. 1 of 6 acts weird when shot, wants to turn off at impact. Email Jeff and he gave me some tips on adjusting the battery and spring. Works like a dream.

I really wish they didn't throw off my tune because these suckers are BRIGHT. 24 grains apparently makes my arrows tune stiff spine bad.

Literally the first shot on that Halo nock. I guess we'll find out how customer service is

Heard back from CS today. I sent my order number ( or similar) from the confirmation emails and asked if they'd cover it, they will! I bought direct, I would imagine that helps. There is a form you print out and send back the non- working nock, haven't done that yet. The email said send the paper with my picture was good enough. I emailed pics back and offered to send pieces back, which they confirmed my pictures and did ask for the parts.

Good enough for this guy. I'm planning on shooting those this year
