Lighted Nocks, Best price I found
In replacing my compound bow, and doing lots of online shopping in the U.S I have found some pretty sweet deals.
Including a dozen lighted Nocks for $50($57 if you include shipping to Canada, but in US$)
They run off the same platform as the Nokturnals for anyone who used those before, these are identical, except you get alot more for the price.
Mine took 7 days to get here from the States, with no additional fees/ brokerages etc.
I know currently selection is limited to two colors, and only S type fitment.(which is what alot of the comman arrows are)
you can email em to find out if they will fit your arrows.
They fit my Carbon Express Mayhem Hunters(250 and 350)

Just thought I would share, if you use lighted nocks or wanting to, this is the best deal I could find by far.
They also are getting very good reviews, I haven't shot mine yet, but confirmed they all turn on etc.
Good luck,
thanks,

Thanks for the info. I looked into getting a few Nockturnal nocks last fall but I use Easton XX75 aluminum shafts and apparently inserts are required and I could not find any in-store so ended up putting it off until this year.
I doubt I would want a dozen (I note they listed singles and smaller quantity packs too), no reason to have that many, after all how many separate shots do you need? I wonder what the shelf life of the battery would be.
Are these Asian knock-offs? There was a lot of chatter last year about Luminox not being that great (not working every time) and that Nockturnals were way better. Give us some feedback after you have used them for a while.

Here is a great independent review by a member of the archery talk boards, on 6 different brands of lighted nocks. He breaks it down into a bunch of catagories, and number of shots, all the way to 200 with how they fair after each round. A good read.

I have the same nocks as described by the original poster of this thread. I picked them up last July or August. I got the full dozen because I like to shoot my hunting setup as much as possible after the winter indoor is done. These nocks have performed very well for me so far with no issues. Got my deer on a late season snow storm hunt right after Christmas and the brutal conditions didn't bother them at all. I have the Nockturnals as well, and I can't see a difference with them other than price, $35 for three Nockturnals or $60 (landed cost CAD$) for a dozed from these guys. Great deal.

I've used almost every one of these over the years and had issues with them all.
So far the Nocturnals are my current choice.
And ... I can't see any reason to have more then 3.
They are reusable from arrow to arrow and how many shots is the average bowhunter going to get.
I fired 5 arrows last year and retrieved them all. Still have all 3 Nocturnals ...
I sure hope the batteries are still good come September!

I've been trying to run a few nockturnals out of juice. Crazy how long they last. If an independent review didn't test them,,, its because they had one that they wanted to win. Nockturnals are far and away ,, the best !!!!!
