I have not used them but am trying them out this year on one of my bows. I have used them back in my vertical days and felt they were more hassle than benefit. But it's been years and with the increased speed of the crossbows I have trouble watching the arrow. Worth giving them one more shot IMO.

 

They are handy if you record your hunt. Watching the point of impact is not only cool you can see if it was a good hit before tracking.

No lighted nocks available for the hybrid x. Maybe next season.

 

I use em.

 

Wont leave home without them

 

Make finding a arrow a lot easier.

 

I use them on all of my bows

 

It’s the only way you have a chance of seeing a high speed crossbow arrow. Even then sometimes it’s so fast you loose it under certain lighting conditions or don’t see it at all. IMO. Fire noks are the best lighted nock made hands down

 

I have not used them on a shot or kill yet. I have my MXB Dagger & Buffalo Gal set for lumenoks. I don't like the way they seem to ground out n light up after be set. Runs the battery down making them worthless. I am fairly sure when these 3 stop working I won't buy anymore. I don't need them to kill deer n hogs.

 

Mike if you can shoot moon nocks try out the Deepower lighted nocks. They are dirt cheap compared to Luminoks and light up very bright, shoot great and are very easy to turn off.

 

Last two years I have used them. A bit of help to find arrows after the shot. I like Lumenok flats after carefully filing the ribs to make them fit so they can be turned off without a come along. GTCs are very nice for bows needing moon nocks. Very good for SWAT X1, but I am using Deepower in that and get pretty much equal accuracy to the GTCs. Just easier to use.

 

Absolutely.
I am using Ten Point nocks in my Swat X1 and Firenock in R29X.
Both of them are worth every penny.

 

Never hunt without them. After I lost my 4th custom arrow I switched to them and haven't lost any since. It also helps when you video your hunts.

 

They definitely have more pros than cons, but am i currently using them? Nope! Maybe next season i will pickup some Firenocks for the R29X

 

I prefer to use them

 

We use them, way too many good things to not use them. The pro’s definitely outweigh the cons.
A couple of the major things are, they help track your shot on a target or animal and also they help recover your arrow afterwards. Anything that gives us an advantage as hunters and makes our lives easier in the woods or on the range I’ll take it. We switched to DeePower this year and they are working perfectly.

 

I resisted using them for years because I’m frugal, to say the least….but I decided to try the Ten Point Alpha nocks to put my mind at ease.
I shot a buck two weeks ago, and it’s doubtful that I would have found my arrow after the 425 fps pass-through!….the bright green nock was easy to find and aided in the recovery of my first-ever velvet buck !
Because of my positive experience, I’m planning to convert all my Pro Elite arrows to Ten Point’s Alpha-Brite nocks….

 

There pretty much a gotta have for me. I have been using them 100% of the time for 10 years off and on before that. I have had one fail to light up in 16 years and that was my fault. And helped me find my arrow countless times plus i can see the arrow flying to the deer.

 

Tried them years ago but didn't use them. Looks cool shooting them in targets at dusk. Maybe try again someday but in no rush. I do like all white fletching and dips.

 

Lumenok GTC in .300 black eagle arrows. Great combo

 

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.

 

Tried them. Work fine but not as pinpoint repeatable accurate.

 

I've used them since day one with a crossbow.
ALL of my arrows are packing them.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Maybe? They come with their own bushings, so maybe they will fit inside the alphanock bushing. I'm not sure.

 

I've been using Firenocks for many years with my Scorpyd and love them! Can't see the arrow without them.

 

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.
