Deepower lighted nocks are the only nocks I use all the time, practice and hunting. I started using the brand with compound bow and stuck with Deepower when I switched. They have only been legal for hunting here for 4 years so I still think they are pretty neat.
 
All my crossbow and vertical bow arrows have Deepower lighted nocks. Simple switch on and off. I used the Ten Point Alpha ones, but I hate that they are difficult to turn off and extremely difficult to transfer to another arrow without damaging the contacts points. Plus, $45 for 3 nocks? The new Deepower nocks for this year are very similar in shape to Alpha nocks, so they are what I am using. Plus, $18 for 6 makes it a no-brainer.
For as much as we pay for arrows, it only makes sense to be able to recover them after the shot. Lighted nock are the easiest way to accomplish that.
I have never noticed any accuracy difference between lighted and basic nocks once the weight and balance change is accounted for.
 
Have been using a lighted nock for prob 10 years now on my vertical bows and crossbows.....I will not hunt without them. Being able to see you POI on an animal is priceless IMO, let alone finding your arrow after it impacts the animal....I just can't seem to do either without a lighted nock.
 
I can't this year with no lighted nocs available for the Excal hybrid but I will use them when they come out.
Saved me a sleepless night last year when I made what I thought was a bad hit at last light. I went to the impact point to check for blood and I could see my lighted noc about 75 yards away sticking out of the dead buck.
 
Well now I have my dimes worth about this. 1st year to hunt with a lighted nock. I could not see it light up in it's travel to the deer this morning. Fletching was still in the deer's shoulder until I pulled arrow out & saw the nock was shining at me. So with that learned experience, I shall not waste my funds on lit nocks anymore.
 
I was testing vanes for the Sub1 XR the other day while also truing at 57 yards. I shot and just caught the top of the bucket and off went the arrow into un known places. I looked and looked but no arrow i had plained on looking after dark but got busy and it slipped my mind Before day light the next day i walked out the range right straight to it. It might have been years if i ever found that arrow. That alone saved me the cost of 3 lighted nocks or pretty close to it.
 
This will be my first year trying them out. Shot them in practice and I kind of like the way you can see the arrow better. Knowing exactly where you hit an animal, in low light , would seem to be a huge help. I can usually tell by the color of the blood and what's in it. But in some cases, it can be deceiving. Shoot the same as regular nocks, out of my rev-x and phoenix.
 
I use Nufletch lighted nocks. Work good for me.

A must for me as well ,,,,
I was using woodys starburst nocks on my mission subs-1 XR but seen where he is going out of business….
They had a switch on them to turn the strobe off but it was to long and if u didn’t file the knob down it would turn off going threw the animal …..

Suggestions on another reliable strobe ????

If I am using match 400’s with Alpha Blaze nocks can the Deepower nock be inserted upon removing the Alpha Nock? Will the bushing need to be removed? The reason I ask is I had had bought the Alpha Brite nock set initially and they would not fit, had to return them and purchase the Blaze to account for the bushing.
