I run Beman ICS hunter arrows and Nockturnal lighted nocks. After shooting both non-lighted and lighted, I will never again hunt without a lighted nock. Easier to see your hit and WAY easier to find your arrow afterward. I would have lost at least 10 arrows in the last 3 years without them.

I thought I was going to switch from the Easton Axis arrows that I'm currently using to the Gold Tip Pro Hunters due to their tight tolerances and durability but the guy at my local archery shop said Gold Tips were made in Mexico and the Easton Axis arrows are still made here in the US. Anyone else hear that?? I like the Gold Tip Pro Hunters better but not THAT much better so I think I'd rather support a company that still invests in Americans.

Shooting Deer Crossing arrows (guy that ran Victory started the company). Haven't shot lighted nocks yet because I am cheap and can't afford $10 for a nock.

I shoot Carbon Express Maximas. I shoot lighted knocks. I've shoot Luminocks and Nocturnals. Now I make my own for 1/3rd the cost. I wish I could find a place to shoot various arrows to compare side by side for myself. I like to hear people's opinions, but at the end of the day, that is only an opinion and the starting point...not the finish line.

I shoot Gold Tip Kinetics and just got a 3-pack of nocturnal lighted knocks off of ebay for $19 delivered. Yesterday evening was the first time I've ever shot lighted nocks, I just swapped them in and shot at my 40 yd target, no change to point of impact. They worked perfect every time, they're a little bit of a pain to turn off but not hard with a knife tip once you get them figured out. I'm going to give them a try on whitetails this year. 99% of my shots are right at dark and I can see where these would make finding the arrow a lot easier. If nothing else they're just seriously cool to watch in flight and it makes seeing your impact a lot easier on the target. They were so neat that I went out and shined the 4 wheeler lights on my 40 yd target at 11pm last night & shot a bunch more in the dark just to watch them glow!

I picked up a dozen "Made in the U.S" Easton Axis arrows and a 1/2 dozen green Nocturnal nocks. They're easy enough to turn off and boy are they BRIGHT! I don't see my son loosing any more $10 arrows as he's roaming the creek now.
Has anyone had issues with deer jumping the string more with these lighted nocks? Even if the deer's relaxed, I would think they'd pick them up in flight but maybe it's too late by then??
