If needed, you can add a little 5-minute epoxy to the lower portion of the nock to secure it and keep it from moving forward at the shot. If all is well, you’re done and ready to shoot. Test the plunger function to ensure the light works. When the arrow is released from the bow, the force of the string will push the nock forward and switch on the light, the lower “stopper” portion of the nock keeps the nock in place and allows the plunger to function.Īs long as the lower barrel of the nock fits snugly, you can now simply insert the nock into the arrow shaft.

The lower portion of the nock (that you glued on in the step above) remains full diameter and should fit snugly. Reduce the diameter just enough to reduce friction. Thus the goal is to reduce the diameter just enough to allow for the upper portion of the nock to slide in and out of the shaft more easily. Remember, the light is ignited when pushed in. Now lightly sand the upper portion of the nock (where the light is) to slightly reduce its diameter.

If it gets down below the light and onto the battery, that will keep the light from being able to “plunge” thus eliminating its ability to turn on and off. You only want the glue to adhere to the top portion only. A little super glue is employed to hold the light in place. After finding your bow, arrow shaft, fletching choice and nock choice. I can’t cover modifications for every nock type here but most nocks can be modified to accept the light. For other nock styles, you may need to enlarge the opening to accommodate the light. The light fits perfectly inside the nock so no modification was needed. In the video, I’m using a Carbon Express Maxima arrow shaft. Nockturnal Universal Fit Lighted Nocks - TheNockturnal Universal Fit Lighted Nocks are available in multiple colors to better fit your needs. These feature a single 3mm LED light powered by the 435 battery. The light source is a basic bobber light. You’ll need two nocks for each finished lighted version. You’ll need to test-fit your nock choice and determine what modifications might be in order.Ĭlear nocks are preferred for maximum brightness. But the fit inside of nocks varies widely. These will slide inside of every arrow shaft I’ve tested – including the micro-diameter options (I’ve personally fit them inside VAP Elites and Easton A/C/C shafts). To power the nock, we’ll be using 435 pin-type lithium batteries. First, determine what size nock your arrows use. There are too many arrow options to go into a deep dive here.
