Lighted Nocks: Reviews & Rankings
Compound hunting lighted 3-packs scored on the numbers makers print — 3-pack street price, printed grain weight, and printed runtime hours.
A $15.97 Vesta and a $34.99 compound 3-pack are not the same purchase. A 27-grain moon nock is a third object. A $66 Firenock pack is a fourth. Put them on one price board and the cheap dealer row wins. That is a merge, not a ranking. This page is compound hunting lighted 3-packs only. Frozen at $29.99–$34.99 / 3-pack. We score three printed numbers: the maker 3-pack street, printed grain weight of one nock, and printed runtime hours. OEM clip nocks wait. Moon and crescent bolt nocks wait. Firenock custom packs wait. 1-packs and 6-packs wait. Factory arrows already live on Arrows. Crossbow OEM nocks stay off this board. Fit code, shaft ID, LED colour, activation, battery, switch, and colourway sit on the table. They are not scores. Fit twins at the same sticker and the same printed grains / runtime stay in notes. Colourways at the same sticker are notes, not extra products. Missing numbers drop. We never write 15 grains from a FAQ onto G Shift. We never write 24 hours onto a Nockturnal 20+. We never guess, and we never zero.
How to read this: Compound hunting lighted 3-packs only. Maker 3-pack list, green / starting-at. Frozen $29.99–$34.99 / 3-pack. Do not merge into Arrows or Crossbow Bolts, and do not put OEM clip / Alpha / Beacon nocks, moon / crescent bolt nocks, Firenock $66+ custom packs, 1-packs, 6-packs, or cheap dealer 3-packs on this board. Do not encode Lancaster. Do not encode the stale Woo Shift card at $24.99. This board scores 3-pack street price, printed nock grain weight, and printed runtime hours inside that frozen $29.99–$34.99 / 3-pack band. Price lower=better is a compound 3-pack number. Mass lower=better is a 20–25 grain compound-nock number. A 27-grain moon nock or 44-grain AXE Lit would invert mass. A $15.97 Vesta or $45.99 Alpha-Blaze would invert price. Keep OEM, moon, Firenock, and cheap dealer packs out. Fit twins at the same sticker AND the same printed grains / runtime are notes, not extra SKUs. Colourways (red/green/pink/strobe) are notes, not extra SKUs. Fit code, shaft ID, LED colour, activation, battery, switch-off, and colourway are displayOnly. Unpublished specs DROP and remaining weights renormalise. Never guess, never zero. Never score IBO, FOC, GPI, spine, vane height, brightness, waterproof-yes, strobing-yes, colourway, a 1-pack vs 6-pack derived unit, or fit-code-as-quality.

Lighted Nock buying guide
- Why isn't a Wasp Vesta, a Halo, or a Firenock on this list?
- Vesta streets at $15.97 on dealer clearance — that sticker inverts the 3-pack rank. Halo has no maker sticker. Clean-Shot / Nock Out shops are dead. Firenock custom packs start at $66.90. Drop one here and the price rank inverts. This page starts at the Nockturnal S at $29.99 / 3-pack.
- Why isn't this just a section under Arrows or Crossbow Bolts?
- Arrows score shaft straightness and spine on a finished dozen. Crossbow Bolts score length and grain on a finished bolt. A lighted nock scores 3-pack street, printed grains, and printed runtime inside a $29.99–$34.99 / 3-pack freeze. Fold them together and a $16 dealer nock looks cheap against a $120 dozen, which tells you nothing useful about either purchase. OEM clip, Alpha, Beacon, and moon nocks stay off this board.
- Why is G Shift weight blank — and why didn't you write 15 or 20?
- The live G Shift PDP on feradyne.com/products/g-nock-shift-3pk does not print a grain weight. The Nockturnal FAQ 15 and the G-Nock twin 20 are not this page. The spec drops and the other weights renormalise. Gate 2 still holds at six if that SKU 404s. We never guess, and we never zero.
- Why don't you score fit code, LED colour, or battery type?
- An S and an X are shaft IDs, not quality. Green vs red vs strobe is a colourway. Sealed lithium vs replaceable RBS is construction. Scoring any of those grades the wrong thing. We show those cells. We do not put weight on them.
- Nockturnal S and FIT look close. Why are they two rows — and why isn't X here?
- S is $29.99 / ~20 gr / 20 hr / .244. FIT is $32.99 / ~25 gr / 20 hr with collars. That is $3 more and +5 gr — not a colourway. Nockturnal X, GT, and G print the same $29.99 / 20 / 20 as S, so they stay in notes as fit twins. Lumenok H / S / X do not collapse: printed grains are 20 / 22 / 24. Collapse those three and Gate 2 drops to five.
- Why is Nockturnal 20 hours and Lumenok 40?
- Nockturnal prints 20+ hours and more than 20 hours. We encode the floor: 20. Lumenok prints up to 40 hours. We encode 40. We do not invent 24 for Nockturnal. Shift streets at $34.99 on the live PDP — we do not encode a stale Woo card at $24.99.
What the CareScore measures
The complete formula, bounds and data rules are published on the methodology page.
3-Pack Street Price
44% weightMaker 3-pack list, green / starting-at. 3-pack only. Do not derive a per-nock dollar from a 6-pack. Do not encode Lancaster. Do not encode the stale Woo Shift card at $24.99. Frozen at $29.99–$34.99 / 3-pack so a $15.97 Vesta cannot steal the rank, and a $45.99 Alpha-Blaze stays parked.
Nock Weight
31% weightPrinted grains of one nock, not the 3-pack. G Shift is null — the PDP is silent. Do not write 15 from the Nockturnal FAQ. Do not write 20 onto G Shift from the G-Nock twin. DROP + renormalise if unpublished. Lower is better inside this 20–25 grain compound-nock window. A 27-grain moon nock or a 44-grain AXE Lit would invert the rank.
Runtime
25% weightPrinted floor only. Nockturnal is 20 from “20+” / “more than 20”. Lumenok is 40 from “up to 40 hours”. Do not invent 24 for Nockturnal. Higher is better inside this printed window.
