Nockturnal – See Your Arrow. Find Your Game.
Nockturnal revolutionized bowhunting by making it possible to see an arrow's flight path and point of impact in real time. Their lighted nock systems activate automatically when the arrow is released, illuminating the nock throughout flight and after impact. This simple innovation helps hunters track shots more effectively, locate arrows more easily, and make more informed recovery decisions in the field.
For bowhunters who hunt during the low-light periods when game animals are most active, lighted nocks have become one of the most valuable accessories available. Whether you're shooting from a treestand at dusk, tracking a pass-through in thick cover, or searching for an arrow after a miss, Nockturnal products provide visibility when it matters most.
Lighted Nocks for Compound Bow Arrows
Nockturnal produces lighted nocks compatible with many of the most popular hunting arrow shafts on the market. Designed to activate automatically at the shot, they allow hunters to follow arrow flight, confirm point of impact, and quickly locate arrows after the shot. Their durable construction and bright illumination have made Nockturnal one of the most trusted names in lighted nock technology.
Crossbow Lighted Nocks
Crossbow hunters can also benefit from Nockturnal's lighted nock technology. Designed specifically for crossbow bolts and the higher speeds generated by modern crossbows, these nocks help hunters track bolt flight and improve visibility during low-light hunting situations.
Shift Universal FIT System
The Nockturnal Shift Universal FIT system simplifies compatibility by allowing a single lighted nock design to fit multiple arrow shaft sizes. This innovative approach reduces the need for arrow-specific models and gives hunters greater flexibility when selecting arrows and components.
Why Use Lighted Nocks?
Lighted nocks provide immediate visual feedback that can help hunters determine arrow impact location, identify pass-through shots, and recover arrows more efficiently. They are particularly valuable during dawn and dusk hunts, in dense vegetation, or any situation where visibility is limited. Many hunters consider them one of the most practical upgrades available for improving shot awareness and recovery success.
