The two biggest uses, IMO, are seeing where you hit and seeing arrow wobble while tuning. I've found nockturnals to be the best for both. I've not had good experiences with Halo nocks during daylight.
They help me far before the hunt. Although I can see my white fletchings, lighted nocks help me see slight wiggle during flight while fine tuning. They definitely let me know what minor adjustments I need to make.
Thanks for the comment and the patriotism! Arrow tuning was something that I forgot to mention, but with a slow motion shot of a lighted nock it's hard to ignore tuning issues. It's helped a ton.
I switched to Halo nocks this year. I have heard some people say they aren't as bright as the Nockturnals.. but a big reason I switched was just convenience of use. I really didn't like how you have to "half nock" the Nockturnals. The amount of times I accidentally nocked too far and turned on the light, or wasn't confident that I had the nock seated in the right position was a big annoyance. Especially since you then have to use a tool to turn the light back off. A couple months before season I shoot with only my lighted nocks and shoot with my broad heads a lot of that time too, just so I'm practicing with my exact hunting arrow as I can. With it being hot I shoot a lot early morning and late evening in lower light, so its also nice that the Halos turn off when you nock them so you don't have to shoot with a light glowing by your face or turn them off manually each shot.
Have you hunted with them? My shots of deer this season were all in daylight, and the green halo nocks on my arrows were absolutely useless. They may as well not have been there in terms of finding my arrows.
im done buying lighted nocks, i lose my arrows with them just as much as i do with regular nocks after a pass-through, it will just cost me $10 less to lose the arrow without the lighted nock. i have lost 2 of my last 3 lighted arrows on deer pass-throughs. i even went back after dark to see if i could see my lighted nocks, and recover my arrows..... no go. where i hunt its real thick briars that are a couple feet tall and also tall grass. i never have a problem finding my deer (since i been using swhackers) but its always a chore to find my arrow lighted nock or not.
I've heard mixed reviews on those but haven't used them myself. I'd use them if I had tested them, I just have a bunch of nockturnals already. Thanks for the comment.
i bought a 6 pack of the deepower nocks and they only worked for a few shots each, went back to lumenoks, now im just going to go back to white or hi viz yellow standard nocks.
@@yourmomma2995 bummer. So far all of mine have worked with literally 50-60 shots on a dozen different arrows. Wonder if you got a bad batch? Or I’m just lucky so far? Reckon I will know in a few more shots.
It seems hit or miss with some of the kockoff ones, but again I've never used them. White or yellow vanes got me really far when i first started hunting, can't knock you for sticking to what works man 👍

@@IIDASHII thanks for the input, I would definitely agree!

Oh and LOVE THE FLAG! 🦾💯

@@DrakeValleyOutdoors all fair points as well 👍🏻

Not only are they worth it….they are a MUST ! IMOP
@@TheNewBowunter got to agree with you there. Thanks for commenting!
“Gentlemen” man knows his audience lol
@@adamlohman6206 gentleman is a mindset 🧐 ladies are welcome but the analytics do not lie
I got the DeePower lighted nocks on Amazon. 12 for $26 and they ALL work. Why pay the ripoff prices the other companies sell. 3 for $29. Really?

The nocturnal and lumenock are super bright.
