Bowhunters can alleviate some of the worry of whether they made a good shot by using lighted nocks to help confirm where the arrow impacted their target — and to help them retrieve that arrow to obtain additional clues regarding the lethality of the shot and how to proceed with recovery efforts. Lighted nocks also make long-range practice sessions more enjoyable and effective. Here are four top-sellers you can offer your archery patrons.
Axe Lit
Designed to work flawlessly with Axe Crossbows .166 micro-diameter bolt system, the Axe Lit Lighted Nock allows crossbow hunters to trace their shot and to better determine shot placement. String activated by Nockturnal’s crossbow linear switch with its piston-driven assembly, these lighted nocks do not require specific tools to set up — just insert them into the bolt and hunt. Users can easily turn off the unit with Nockturnal’s nock tool. Each Axe Lit lighted nock weighs approximately 44 grains and provides exceptional shot-after-shot visual confirmation. More than 20 hours of lithium-powered battery life provides plenty of fuel for reuse and easy arrow location long after the shot. MSRP: $44.99/Three-pack
Lumenok X
The Lumenok X Lighted Arrow Nock contains no switch or any other moving parts, and there is nothing attached to the bow to activate it. The nock contains a simple circuit that relies on the conductive material in the arrow shaft to activate it. Unlike other lighted nocks that use bobber lights designed for fishing, Lumenoks are built inside a real nock with a larger, brighter LED and are durable enough for thousands of shots. The Lumenok X lighted nock comes standard with a replaceable battery that provides up to 40 hours of illumination and is activated upon the shot to allow archers to follow the path of their arrow. Available in HD orange, green, pink or the all-new red (shown). MSRP: $34.95/Pack of three
Nockturnal Shift
The Nockturnal Shift Lighted Nock takes the simplicity and reliability of its dependable and user-friendly lighted nock to a new level with the addition of an external on/off switch. With 20+ hours of long-lasting battery life and a durable design, these nocks are built to last. An ultra-strong, impact resistant polycarbonate casing protects the super-bright LED, and the Shift’s string-activated, piston-driven contact linear switch triggers the nock to illuminate immediately when the string is released. Waterproof and shockproof, Shift nocks weigh approximately 25 grains each and are available in green, red and red/green strobing options and fit X, GT, S and H arrows with the use of included nock collars. MSRP: $24.99/Two-pack
TenPoint Alpha-Blaze
The durable Alpha-Blaze Lighted Nock from TenPoint Crossbow Technologies contains a one-piece nock/LED unit that is indexed with the vanes and press fits into the arrow’s aluminum bushing. Upon firing the crossbow, the bowstring’s force compresses the two pieces and activates the lighted nock. The user can deactivate the easy On/Off Alpha-Blaze lighted nock by pulling the nock straight out until the light turns off. The super bright LED light of the Alpha-Blaze system provides superior arrow flight visibility and lasts for approximately 24 hours when activated and is approved for arrows launched at 505+ fps. It fits all TenPoint and Wicked Ridge arrows with an HP aluminum bushing (sold separately). Nock weight is 27 grains. MSRP: $44.99/Three-pack
