Lighted nock color?

[REN]

didnt want to hijack the other threads about these but i am thinking of trying some of these this year.

for those that have shot a variety of the colors which seems to show up better in the woods. I would imagine RED but i see they make them in WHITE, GREEN, BLUE and RED now.

 

[spitndrum]

Never tried em myself

 

[TJS209]

I use red. only color I've ever used. I imagine they do show up better than green or white

Green

 

[Rowdy]

I've only tried the red ones.....works for me.

[color:#FF0000]RED[/color]

 

[JandSCattleCo]

I got the blue ones...mostly because I'm red / green colorblind and wouldn't be able to see em otherwise...

 

[TNDeerGuy]

I use green

 

[holstonangler]

I use both but the green ones seem much brighter and easier to follow in daylight

 

[Buck Assassin]

I haven't tried them yet.

 

[jmlost]

I have red and white.....red seems much easier to see. I haven,t tried any other color. Would like to see the pink.

Green has been my best color for night.

But I quit using them when I found out they were not allowed in "the book".

(not that I have put that many in there, but I just want to be safe for when I DO kill the next world record buck LOL)

I will tell you what lighted nocks taught me about themselves. They are ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST aids in night time deer recovery I have EVER used.

And I found this out by accident.

You see, sometimes when hunting new areas of the South, I end up killing a deer a LONG way from the truck in un-familiar land. And I am NOT a good pitch black dark navigator in un familiar woods. So when I kill a deer a long ways from the truck, I simply "light one up" hang one or two lights on a limb(sometimes glow sticks sometimes lighted nocks), take my gear to the truck, get my 2 wheeler, and "go to the light" to get my deer. It has saved me from wandering around in un-familiar woods MORE THEN ONCE. (I also will put one half way back to the truck sometimes in BAD terrain).

What pins are brightest on your bow site? Green for me. If I used them that would be the color I'd pick.

 

[REN]

green by far or orange, red is the least on my pins but then again they are not really a powered light.

Great idea! Not a fan of lighted nocks, but I guess I'll be carrying around some glow sticks now. I always take a compass heading from my stand to the last place I saw a deer when it runs off so that when I get down and start looking for blood, I can just back-sight to the tree I was in. Hanging a glow stick up would be a huge help in back-sighting in low light - not to mention keeping your bearings in the dark.

This a great idea...I have seen the small glow lights that are about 2 inches long for around .79�those would be very beneficial for after dark recovery. Thanks for the tip and for making me carry another thing in my pack!
