Just wanted to say, Great review. Love that you get straight to the point, flash up the info so people can pause if they want to. Quick, concise, effective. Good man!
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Awesome review with great information. The only thing missing was an accuracy comparison. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man! Great review
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Also I purchased five packs of nocturnals. After 1 month of shooting there were 2 that were not destroyed by hitting soft targets. (Literally the lit nock would be all the down my arrow shaft if i was lucky. Usually the clear plastic they use is just to briddle and snaps somewhere). I would call this the worst lit nock available. But thats just my experience 5x over and i shoot around 300 fps)
Maybe they are a one and done concept like a mechanical. Either wayi was disappointed. Kept thinking i got a bad batch. Turned out to just be a bad material choice for the concept.
I love your videos and how you go through them. Keep it up!
Hoping halo makes a decent 4mm nock. Waiting to try them.
The 4mm halo is decent. Ive had good luck with it.
I liked your review, and wasn't surprised that Nocturnal came in 1st place, but I shoot a crossbow, and these were all vertical bow nocks. I've had issues with Lumenok, namely like you, they're so hard to shut off! The Nocturnals are almost as hard, and you need that little tool in your pocket to shut them off! But I suspect most of my issues with nocks lie with my Barnett Raptor FX and not the nock. I suspect my arrow holder is not holding the nock properly, causing it to slip away from the trigger wall. Thanks for the review, as I'm now going to hold off on trying out the Firenocks.
Great review. Just getting back into bowhunting. I left when your option was Lumenok only. I worked buy was a huge pain to keep shut off. I may go with the Nockturnal.
Thank you for watching.
Awesome review I'm subscribing and have added your excellent video to my archery file. I'm going for the glory nocks but when one dies I will do surgery and try to install a new battery. THANK YOU 🤠🏹
Thank you for watching!
Any regrets for the glory nocks?
Hey bud glad I finally found your page we spoke at the start show this year and I got the ezv from u
Whats up man? Glad you finally found me also!
Add me on Facebook got some of the Woody's nocks I can send u if u wanna give the a go but b ready to work on them
@@davidallen3406 I appreciate the offer, but Ill buy some here eventually. I only shoot 204 diameter so the woodies didnt fit the bill in this test. I will add you on facebook though!
I've had Nockturnals break on shooting several times causing a dry fire. Also had some funky flight too.
A dry fire eeeeewwww! Just the thought of that happening to my bow is scary 😮.
I had that happen with victory’s lighted nock, makes for a very sad day.
i got two three packs of nockturnals and only 5 of them were only shot into a block target. they all are stuck on and cant be turned off. The sixth one i shot through a buck and it never turned on. I got them in late October. This is why im watching you channel .
I'm happy to have you here watching.
Nocturnal won in this testing. I plan to do more in depth testing on the best of the best nocks in this video sometime in 2021.
I've used nockturnals the last 2 seasons because of price and the brightness. have shot 2 elk and 1 muley. the nocks have never turned on for me until I get to the arrow and tap it on the ground... not sure if I am doing something wrong or it is just a fluke but they are going in the garbage.... but the arrow I shot my bull with this year (once deciding to turn on) has been sitting in my garage for almost 2 weeks now and is still on so that's a plus.
I used to have an issue with the .165 nocks breaking, but haven't had any issues with the .204 size and larger. I'd take a look into glory nocks for a budget friendly option, I was told they were redesigned to fit the string better. For the top of the line Firenock is unbeatable.
You don't want them easy to turn off at all. Remember, when they pass through a deer you want them to stay on. Lumenoc is by far the best. Just buy a Lumenoc extinguisher and problem solved
I would say your video applies to compound bow shooters but for crossbow users the lumenok are the best option. I shoot/hunt with an Excalibur crossbow and all I use are lumenoks and they work perfectly. I think your video is geared toward vertical bow shooters and not crossbow’s.
You would be spot on. I've not done any crossbow nock testing. Maybe in the future though!
My experience...
Lumenoks are very bright but very heavy. My scale says 27.5 gn. Their ease of use is directly related to their fitment... they definitely need to see some sand paper before shooting...dont sand too much though...
Nockout... good price, easy switch, not bright against competition but you can see them. Light. My scale says 23gn. With a bushing installed.
Nocturnal... bright and cheap, turning them off makes me wanna jump of a cliff.. a tad heavier than the nockout, not as heavy as the lumenok...I can't weigh one, I gave them away
Shave a rib or two off on the Lumenok, do not sand
Nockturnals also sell weight correct practice nocks as well.
Ill have to see about that Ive always just seen guys use the burnt up ones.
@@Chestthumperoutdoors I've got em for my arrows. I even bought them from cabelas here in stl at the time.
Really? I always just use old ones whether dead or not. I try to replace um yearly
5 nocks for $25 shipped!
GloryNock has now modified its fit and no longer have to mess with D Loop- FYI
I'll have to check the new version out! Thanks for letting me know!
Were they too thick causing string pinch?
Not sure where you got battery life information, my guess is from "advertised data". Real world use...non of these last as long as Firenock, at least in the colder Wisconsin weather. Another plus is Firenock offers 3 different batteries from long shelf life to the brightest. They also offer 3 different light circuit's. Hunting circuit stays lit until you shut it off. Intermittent circuit is a solid light for 7 seconds, then blinks. Target circuit shuts off automatically after so many seconds. When it comes to versatility, none can compare to Firenock. Over many years of trial, frustration and disappointment with almost each one in this "battle", I finally spent the money on Firenock's and glad I did. My personal setup is the intermittent circuit's with the BR batteries. That flashing nock is a beacon after dark. Think you're going to be quite satisfied with your choice to use the Firenock's. Simple on, simple off and every bit as bright as Lumenok when using the BR batteries and you don't need the F.A.S.T. (fletched arrow squaring device) to ensure consistent contact. Happy shoot'n and good luck!
I got it from turning them on and leaving them on taped to a whiteboard and taking pictures of them everyday as well as writing down the time I took the picture. So it came from real world use, in a controlled environment where all nocks were brand new out of the package and subjects to the same things.
I've got around $400ish invested in the firenocks lighted nocks, its probably the best system on the market.
@@Chestthumperoutdoors Thank you for sharing your battery test info and results. Gott'a admit, I'm surprised as it's just not what I've found. I've never just turned them on and let them die either, just use in the field. My personal take from this would be that some batteries don't drain as fast while NOT lit or exposed to the elements.
Yes sir, Firenock's are definitely an investment, but so is our sport. When you want the very best, that usually means cost. Firenock's are the only nock that the wife and I used that haven't failed while Lumenok's have been the biggest waste of money.....absolute garbage.
A faster drain just means a shorter battery life.
But in my opinion Firenock are worth it also. Only trouble is if you lose an arrow anyways your out nearly $30 in the lighted nock alone
@@Chestthumperoutdoors That's where the intermittent circuit shines. Just wait till dark if you can't find the arrow and look for that flashing beacon. The options offered by Firenock are worth the price. What Firenock battery was used in your battle? They come labeled and with a best by year. We get two solid years of use from the BR's, which are the shortest "shelf life", brightest battery he offers.
My primary motivation for using a lighted nock is filming. Flashing nocks are terrible for filming.
BR was used for the test.
You forgot to try the deepower knocks
I won't test deeppower or any other nock found on Amazon or ebay that isn't from a reputable US company.
Although most of the nocks in this test are made overseas they are still sold by US companies that provide jobs for people here.
Lusk Archery has a test of deeppower lighted nocks available.
We need to demand better quality and durability out of these things. I cant find a brand that makes it past target practice. Im nit even talking about micro diameter. I need 4mm now 🤦🏼♂️
Check out halo nocks. Werent around when I did this video, but Ive shot them since and they seem to do pretty good.
Try woodys lighted nocks
Hey brother I saw you on tik tok and saw you’re in Illinois. I just moved out here and would love to get a chance to hunt with you
Look up Chest Thumper Outdoors on Instagram and shoot me a message.
Woody's!!!!
I love nockturnals
Me too. They’re solid a/f
You ever use nock out originals? With practice mode?
Yes. Overall a pretty good nock in function, but I had issues with the way they fit in arrows. I had to shim them with plastic bags otherwise they would easily slide out of the back of the arrow.
@@Chestthumperoutdoors I've toyed with it on gt . 246 and . 166. Both fit snug but stuck out so far. The entire unit fits inside the . 246 so their collar makes no sense. I drilled out an insert so it fit all the way in hit it was way too much work for 1 nock. If they fix that then I'd love them
They keep em like that so they are a universal fit for all arrow sizes, business wise I dont ever see them making a nock that is size specific, but I have zero idea what gets discussed behind closed doors there.
Follow the instructions and Lumenok turn off no problem. They even have videos on their official RUclips channel showing how easy it is. If you need a pliers you are doing it wrong.
How about deep power?
I avoid testing nocks that aren't sold by US companies.
You clearly did not read the directions on the luminoks. Hold the nock and wiggle the arrow. Super easy. Like super duper easy.
Victory spot nocks are discontinued because the company Victory had making them was so inconsistent and poor in quality. I had 1 blow up on me upon release and contacted the company. They are awful, and were very inconsistent lighting up as well.
the spot nock 1s are total garbage. the spot nock 2s which mostly haven't hit the market from what I can tell are a pheominal lighted nock. I got 2 packs giving to me at the ATA show.
@@Chestthumperoutdoors I just spoke to victory and they didn't mention them at all. Is someone else making them now?
@@falchunt I have no idea, I'm not privy to behind the scenes at Victory. I know that I was told at ATA that the spot nock 2s were coming out to replace the original spot nock and was given 2 packs. One of which was used for this testing. If I had to venture a guess I'd say that COVID temporarily shut down the release of the new version, as I do know that Victory has experienced long periods of being shut down due to California's COVID restrictions and rules.
@@Chestthumperoutdoors thanks for the info. I'm guessing that they are being made by another company or the second gen got shut down too. Just last week the customer service directed me towards 3 other lighted nocks to use in stead saying spot knocks have been discontinued entirely. Was a bummer because they were bright and I like design if they work right.
Guess I aught to hold onto those 2s then. Seems like they'd be valuable. 🤣 shame too, the 2s are absolutely phenominal.
Nockturnal break in cold weather.
If they do that when shooting at the buck if a lifetime, it's your loss!!!
