I'm sure I will tinker again because that is what I do. I have my set up so tight I'm afraid to touch anything.

Just put the nokturnals on tonight and they fly just the same.
Which Easton's do you have?
I got the Deepower as recommended in this thread. Very nice nocks and the on/off switch is awesome.
6.5 mm 340 Acu-carbon.
Just by googling, I think I found that they have an inside diameter of .246". I went ahead and ordered that size nock. We'll see.
Yeah should be S. If you go with the Amazon Deepowers, they come with the bushings.
You should be correct
I found 246 for the easton acucarbon on several different sights
After killing several deer with lighted nocks I can tell you this for certain. Some deer do not like lighted nocks.
I have killed several in a situation where I had multiple tags and it was early. Every time I had a lighted nock glowing on the ground in the area that the next deer appeared, it ALWAYS spooked the deer.
And more than once, the spooked deer was a target buck!
I use bright white wraps and vanes and nocks. I rarely have a problem finding my arrow to determine the hit.

True story. I one time completely misjudged distance and shot under a buck's belly. The nock was one of those obnoxious flashing strobes, and the buck lept straight toward me and when he came down his eyes were locked on that flashing nock. He was stopming & snorting as if he was giving it a real cussing in deer language. So while his head was facing directly away from me completely distracted, I was able to nock another arrow and put it in the proper place this time for a clean kill. One of the weirdest kills I've ever had.
But yes, deer do not like lighted nocks. They freak out.
For the crossbow hunters, do you use them or will they even fit in the bolt? Maybe it's a separate nock than what goes in arrows, I really dont know.
They make crossbow specific ones
Agreed...but some places I hunt it is a short downhill drag to the truck. I simply walk back to the truck, drive it as close as I can, and load it on a hitch haul. I used to throw them up into the back of the truck but as I've aged my shoulders don't care for throwing!Im not dragging out more than one anyways at this stage in the game
