Gotta love those long distance shots with lighted nocks, absolutely love the videos, I have learned so much from following your videos. Never stop! Keep them coming!
When shooting lighted nocks it not just weight but it some cases from the throat of the nock to your shaft can differ depending on the nocks you shoot on your arrow that at non lighted. When is comes to tune your bow and arrow make one setup and tune for that setup. Many make this mistake right before hunting season and they need practice with there lighted nocks, than they wonder why they got a bad shot or missed!! Alway check your gear and stay in tune!!
These nocks really light up my life but not as much and the slick new do. Another good video Josh. My nocturnal G-nock fit a little loose in my pierce shaft. Couple dabs of hairspray or nail polish worked for a tighter fit. But awesome point glad I checked mine sooner before season instead of a nock pulling out of the shaft on a hunt.
Great video, can you do a follow up and go into detail what makes a good lighted nock? I know you have given praise to nockturnal, but any other brand you would recommend? Thanks
When I first started watching I thought it was the year 1999 and I was looking in a mirror headed off to Warp Tour !! Love the hawk, wish I could pull that off but I had two kids and have obtained a birds nest 🪹 situation. Oh I would greatly appreciate some sweet lighted nocks as we are approaching sweet September. 🤘 Keep being great
I like using them, especially for turkey hunting. I do test shoot mine on my hunting arrows with broadheads and usually impact isn't different out to 50-60 yards.
I have used lighted nicks for a while. What I did was hit the hardware store and buy #2 wood screws and glue them into my regular nocks so the weighed the same. Now I can practice with nocks that weigh the same and save battery for lighted nocks!!
when I replaced my strings recently I did my soft knots and Dloop based on the nockturnal. For practice I shoot a pin nock bushing and a pin nock. It weighs 3 grains less than the nockturnal and I’m not good enough to notice that difference under 50yds anyway.
Good video MFJJ and like the Mohawk!! Would have been nice to see you shoot 3 arrows with regular nocks and 3 with lighted nocks just to show how much difference there was and also noted the yardage! Thx.
The nock tension might not match, but I cut, filed and glued copper wire inside my standard nocks to match my lighted nocks. There was absolutely a different flight and impact point between standard and lighted!
Love the content! Stoked for Bow Season! September 2nd here in Colorado! Also looking into building my arrows once the season is over, can't change my setup now
Mohawk = BA-MFJJ Any thoughts on what the extra weight on the backend would do to an arrow spine if you were right on the line of too weak? Would it push it over the edge to require a stiffer spine? Or work the opposite?
Been on the fence about lighted knocks but after hearing the weight difference and never using them not sure i want to sacrifice the FOC. Regular nocks been working just fine for years
love the videos keep up the great work love the nocturnal nocks in action every video is always a great learning experience always look forword to your knowledge about archery and how to become better and a constant archer thank u
Always love the content! Your helpful tips and tricks has helped my form and accuracy tremendously! Looking forward to the next video! Diggin the Mo Hawk man!
could you shoot just the outside plastic part of the nock for fitment and put an extra 25gr tip IE instead of shooting 100gr head do 125? ive got a bunch of old nockturnals that the lighted part doesnt work anymore and I took them apart. just wondering if i could use em, or just toss em.
We use nocturnals at our shop and they're awesome but take a look a Glory Nock. They were developed by the same guy who invented nocturnals and he came up with Glory Nocks after he sold it to Feradyne. Super easy on/off and they're lighter than nocturnals.
Been using a number of lighted knocks for a few years now, the nocturnal strobe light knocks are my favorite, definitely easier to see in the leaves after a pass thru. Keep up the great vids, love to see all the great reviews and products
Thanks for making these videos. Brand brand new to archery so learning a lot. Thanks again and one day if im on the west coast will have to stop by. Keep it up and don’t change.
Yeah… these are so wonderful and easy to use that you don’t even bother turning them off between shots because they are a pain to use. 🤦🏻 Easton RLI magnetic trigger nock. Discontinued but blows these out of the water. I stocked up.
Great video on lighted knocks. As a freshman archer, I don't see the great advantage to lighted knocks other than to see them in flight but, that's at the expense of arrow speed and FOC. Can you do a video to elaborate on lighted knocks, their setup and uses? I'll be in the Panhandle of ID elk hunting in September...your shop will be on speed dial just in case I have issues! Thanks for all the great content.
I’ve heard you say before to shoot those lighted knocks before going into the field. Put mine on and they definitely “stick” more than the knocks that came with my arrows.
I like the idea of shooting lighted nocks, however, they are quite expensive, a bit of a pain to turn off, plus you must, as you said, plan in advance to use them. As a side note, there must have been over a hundred dollars worth of nocks in the bucket, yet I enjoyed the nighttime fireworks. Thanks. O, the new look is interesting. Best wishes!
I have not yet tried lighted nocks but plan to in the next month or two. Not hunting this year but pracrTicing as often as I can for next year! Also you should add some lighted nocks to the hair!
From down under Aust, love all your content in the videos. You guys have access to all the great gear on hand, shipping and time delays are the pits for us. Would like to try the lighted knocks, but havent see any hear. Not to sure on the Mohawk, though they already made that movie last of the Mohicans.
Last season I had a nocturnal break taking a shot @18 yards on a deer and flew way high. Bow was tuned using the arrows in my quiver. Ever see one break during a shot before?
I’ve got some pretty badass videos on my IG shooting 100 yards in low light with nockturnals. Just did some more tonight. Would love to have a few more before the season starts!
I've always wanted to try them but the extra weight has concerned me along with trying to find some 'dead' ones to make sure I don't waste the good ones.
I prefer lighted nocks! Used them in my easton axis 5mm arrows, just switched to victory vap tko arrows. Would you recommend any particular lighted nock for the 4mm?
The one with the button switch that slides .....gets stuck in on position and the grips strip out making it next to impossible to turn off. I have dead nockturnals for practice tho
I love that archery keeps us well-rounded, requiring we keep our mind, body, and NAILS in check. Looks like someone needs some biotin supplementation! Thanks for the content and all you do.

Nothing lights up my life like a new Podium Archer video and lighted nocks!

MFJJ going more ARROW dynamic for the hunting season with the Mohawk! Impressive!!!
These nocks really light up my life but not as much and the slick new do.

Just got my arrows sighted in yesterday with lighted knocks. Great video as always. Good luck on this years hunts.
Great video, can you do a follow up and go into detail what makes a good lighted nock? I know you have given praise to nockturnal, but any other brand you would recommend? Thanks
Yup, definitely didn’t think about the fitment on the string and the size of the nock. Glad I watched this.

MFJJ’s shooting is en”lightning”!!!! Great videos as always! Keep it up ! Also great shooting at TAC!!!
Love the lighted knocks especially long distance I need to get sum for my setup
Lighted up my day! Havent used the orange colored ones before, but i wont "nock" it until i try it!!

Loving the new hairdew its awesome, i have never tried lighted nocks but would love to!!
Love shoot lighted nocks! Seeing the flight path at distance is awesome! Great video keep up the good work
The nock tension might not match, but I cut, filed and glued copper wire inside my standard nocks to match my lighted nocks. There was absolutely a different flight and impact point between standard and lighted!
Awesome night shoot! The lighted nocks really highlight the arc of the arrows, school to watch!
The highlight reel is almost as cool as the Mohawk! Keep up the awesome content MFJJ!
Love the content! Stoked for Bow Season! September 2nd here in Colorado! Also looking into building my arrows once the season is over, can't change my setup now
Be careful, it's addictive. I started a few years ago and build a couple of different arrows each season. Good luck this year.
Mohawk = BA-MFJJ
Any thoughts on what the extra weight on the backend would do to an arrow spine if you were right on the line of too weak? Would it push it over the edge to require a stiffer spine? Or work the opposite?
Opposite, up front weakens…weight out back, stiffens.
I love shooting lighted nocks when it’s getting dark. Or really in any low light. Awsome content keep it up
I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Can’t get enough Thank you!
Nothing like a good ol arrow tracer footage. Awesome job y’all doing great day. Really enjoy the content
Always been interested in these. It helps as you get older and your eyes are not the same.
Love lighted nocks. I am using the regular nocturnals just because I couldn't get the shifts when I built my new arrows.
Love nocturnals. It’s like making your own rainbow and actually finding the treasure at the end.
Started Lighting up my Tail ends this week.. Getting ready for Whitetail season here in the mid-West..
Happy that Idaho finally allows us to use these! Love all the videos and keep up the great work!
Been wondering about the nock pinch of lighted nocks and how much these may differ from normal nocks and different serving sizes.
Been on the fence about lighted knocks but after hearing the weight difference and never using them not sure i want to sacrifice the FOC. Regular nocks been working just fine for years
love the videos keep up the great work love the nocturnal nocks in action every video is always a great learning experience always look forword to your knowledge about archery and how to become better and a constant archer thank u
The lighted nock companies usually also offer a version that doesn't light up with the same weight so you can keep the weight the same
Always love the content! Your helpful tips and tricks has helped my form and accuracy tremendously! Looking forward to the next video! Diggin the Mo Hawk man!
Great reminder on the nock weight differences! Great info as usual!
could you shoot just the outside plastic part of the nock for fitment and put an extra 25gr tip IE instead of shooting 100gr head do 125? ive got a bunch of old nockturnals that the lighted part doesnt work anymore and I took them apart. just wondering if i could use em, or just toss em.
Glue a nail into the old nocks so that it matches the weight of the lighted nocks
We use nocturnals at our shop and they're awesome but take a look a Glory Nock. They were developed by the same guy who invented nocturnals and he came up with Glory Nocks after he sold it to Feradyne. Super easy on/off and they're lighter than nocturnals.

I used the solid greens last year. Testing the strobes this year for comparison.
Big fan of the white nocturnal for 204 dieamitor do you sell those with the switch on them?
Just started using lighted nock this year and love them.
Probably the only guy I know who can rock a Mohawk!
Thanks for the info Josh!
Thanks for making these videos. Brand brand new to archery so learning a lot. Thanks again and one day if im on the west coast will have to stop by. Keep it up and don’t change.
Hi MFJJ! I came across Elkshape channel, and I love your technical information, tips about archery. Subbed. Kind regards Robert from Hungary.
Yeah… these are so wonderful and easy to use that you don’t even bother turning them off between shots because they are a pain to use. 🤦🏻 Easton RLI magnetic trigger nock. Discontinued but blows these out of the water. I stocked up.
My guy rocking the Mohawk with the viking beard! 🤘

With idaho finally allowing lighted nocks, I've been very curious about trying these. Great video
I’ve heard you say before to shoot those lighted knocks before going into the field. Put mine on and they definitely “stick” more than the knocks that came with my arrows.
Sent a text to
I’ve tried to see the effects of lighted nocks vs standard, but I’m not good enough shot to tell the difference.
Should do a video comparing the different nocks for weight and demonstrate how much that weight change can influence impact change.
Thinking about making a FrankenBow what are some pointers you can give about the thought process that should go into it.
love the videos and you have always had what i needed on your site when i couldnt find it anywhere else and also digging the new hair style.
Great video. I never would have guessed there was that much weight difference between lighted nocks and standard nocks.
These nocks are awesome. Had luminock but, always shut off after impact. These nocks don't shut off on impact.
Lighted knocks are always a lot of fun, and yes they make a differnce on arrow flight. The change your FOC and not in a good way.
Thank you for making this! I just bought the Halos from this and just thought, I wonder what I need to do with these
You are the light that shines my day w the most enlightening video on the lighted nocks
I like the idea of shooting lighted nocks, however, they are quite expensive, a bit of a pain to turn off, plus you must, as you said, plan in advance to use them. As a side note, there must have been over a hundred dollars worth of nocks in the bucket, yet I enjoyed the nighttime fireworks. Thanks. O, the new look is interesting. Best wishes!
Been wanting to try out lighted nocks. Thanks for the video.
So ready for bow season i Texas! Never shot lighted knocks before but would be super stoked too!
Looks like you a rocking a buck hawk for hunting season. Great video
Great Chanel to watch have learned a lot from mfjj keep up the great work
I have not yet tried lighted nocks but plan to in the next month or two. Not hunting this year but pracrTicing as often as I can for next year! Also you should add some lighted nocks to the hair!
Have always wondered how they would work with my set up? Keep up the good work man.
Dude, love the 'hawk. Been rocking one since April.
What colors do you feel are the brightest and easiest to see? By the way I do not have Instagram so I guess I will not be able to follow along
Would you shoot year round with them? Or change before season and adjust appropriately?
These are a must for me. I can’t see arrows in the target with regular nocks. And yes, there is definitely a difference in flight.
These will definitely help me find those stray arrows…so in long run giving me these knocks may hurt your arrow sales 😂
Tracers in the night, follow the lights... awesome great video
How much weight do you have to put up front to compensate and keep at 15% F.O.C. when switching to these nocks?
From down under Aust, love all your content in the videos. You guys have access to all the great gear on hand, shipping and time delays are the pits for us. Would like to try the lighted knocks, but havent see any hear. Not to sure on the Mohawk, though they already made that movie last of the Mohicans.
Nocks and mohawk look sick! Thanks for the great content!
Loving the new hawk cut. Keep up the great content and don't forget your vitamins.
What hair gel do you use…..or is the secret bow wax? Love nocturnals!
Such a fun way to shoot at grey light, not sure about using them on your hunting rig but man are they fun
Would like to see a lot more shooting videos. You definitely don’t do enough of them. Light up knocks look brilliant.
"I wanna bow that shoots Fricken Lazer Beams"...Oh here you go!
Always enjoy your videos! Thanks keep up the good work!
Experiencing a little pain in my left shoulder after about 20 shots. What could I be doing to cause this?
Cool to see the mystical flight of the arrow. Nighttime 3d course using glow sticks on targets could be cool.
Lighted knock are really awesome, with my old eyes they really help me see arrow flight
Nockturnal are awesome to watch at dusk. Been thinking about trying the shifts. Maybe I’ll get luck and win some😏
Can you do a review of the Raised Hunting lighted nocks, please? They seem pretty sweet. They have an on off switch and can replace the battery.
My experience with the lighted nocks if you put them on and then put them in your quiver they tend to stop working.
Last season I had a nocturnal break taking a shot @18 yards on a deer and flew way high. Bow was tuned using the arrows in my quiver. Ever see one break during a shot before?
I’ve got some pretty badass videos on my IG shooting 100 yards in low light with nockturnals. Just did some more tonight. Would love to have a few more before the season starts!
I've always wanted to try them but the extra weight has concerned me along with trying to find some 'dead' ones to make sure I don't waste the good ones.
Why do you only carry nocturnals? Are there any other lighter versions that you would recommend ore are these the best for the weight?
What are you shooting this year for hunting, MFJJ ?
I prefer lighted nocks! Used them in my easton axis 5mm arrows, just switched to victory vap tko arrows. Would you recommend any particular lighted nock for the 4mm?
In your opinion, what's the most accurate lighted nock?
All I can see in my head is MFJJ saying “ I PITTY THE BULL!” 😂 just need some gold chains and you’re set!!
If y’all did a time lapse photo of the arrows with lighted nocks it would be pretty awesome seeing all the light trails.
The one with the button switch that slides .....gets stuck in on position and the grips strip out making it next to impossible to turn off. I have dead nockturnals for practice tho
The ending content watching those arrows fly was epic! Great job all around! 🍻
as a midwest hunter I do like lighted knocks for finding that arrow in the dark, they have a place IMOP in game recovery
I love that archery keeps us well-rounded, requiring we keep our mind, body, and NAILS in check. Looks like someone needs some biotin supplementation! Thanks for the content and all you do.
