Nock Out Crossbow Half Moon Nock (Pack of 3)
T**N
Fits OK, inconsistent lighting and accuracy issues
The install with the bushing was pretty simple in my Carbon Express Mayhem bolts. However, I had one nock that flickered when lit/shot. Also, and this MAY be related to the arrows, but accuracy went out the window on the arrows I had these nocks installed on. Previously I could shoot all 6 arrows into a circle about 2 inches at 20 yards. The point of impact changed with the Nock Out equipped arrows by UP TO 6 inches. Note that each arrow+nock combination was different. 1 shot 6 inches off, another 4 inches, and 1 was dead on. Now, this MIGHT be related to inconsistent spine in the arrows and the added weight from the lighted nock, but either way it's an unacceptable result and I chose to remove these nocks and hunt without them. I may experiment further to see if different nock-arrow combinations are more consistent, but I can't really recommend these. FWIW the arrow went right back to grouping with the rest after I removed the nocks and re-fitted the original plastic nocks they came with. I did like that they had a "practice" feature that allowed the nocks to be shot without lighting. I found that they were also inconsistent in the amount of force needed to pop them back to the "off" position. I will most likely be looking in another direction for lighted nocks for next season.

First Shot
I shot the "Clean Shot Nock" for the first time and when it hit the target the clear nock popped off and I could not find it. They are glued on and did not hold up to the shock from the impact into the target. I thought well maybe it was a fluke, I then shot a deer and it did not turn on and I made sure the ring was correct even after retrieving my arrow. I then installed it on another arrow and shot into the target to see what was going on and low and behold the clear nock popped off on that one also only to not be able to find it. They look great but would not recommend.I shoot Misssion Archery MXB-320 so not over 320 FPS I can only Imagine a faster bow would be worst.

Didn't hold up to its intended porpuse
Bought for hunting, sited in well with my slick trick 150 grain. Fixed 4 blade ,Shot from a sniper 370. I was very pleased until I shot a deer I did find my bolt but when I attempted to turn the Koch off the clear top (nock) portion pulled off almost fell off I should say, instead of giving negative reviews I attempted to contact clean shot knock out customer service phone isn't in service any longer web site isn't answering, I still have 2 left but so far 1st of 3 being bad isn't good odds if they had a service department I might have reconsidered my review so keep in mind it could be a one time use nock

Two Thumbs Down!
I would give more than 2 thumbs down if I had more hands! I liked that multiple bushing sizes were included to accommodate different bolt shaft sizes. Also liked the idea of a practice mode so a bolt can be shot without activating the nock to save the battery.....But the LEDs are extremely dim, they are difficult to install, and very difficult to get them back in practice mode once they've been shot in the activated mode.I shot them on a sunny morning from 20yds to 60yds. At first I didn't think they were activating because I was shooting with a friend using Nocturnals which turned on every shot and were bright even in the sunlight. After a few shots I cupped my hands around one and it was activating but very dimly lit. Trying to get it turned off and back to practice mode was nearly impossible. When pulling the nock out to deactivate, the switch cam mechanism comes out with it. While trying to get the cam back in place the internals of the nock come out the bolt.From a brightness perspective I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I waited until dust to shoot again which is when you would really benefit from the LED. Shot one at 30yds, bolt passed through the bag, nock never came on or was too dim to see. I was shooting in a flat mown grass field and lost the bolt. No reason to lose that bolt at dusk with a lit nock. So now I just have 2 of 3 nocks and can't even return them. I can't say Nocturnals are the answer but they sure worked better than the Nock Outs did.

these things do work great. I have used them for the last month ...
So, these things do work great. I have used them for the last month to target shoot and was really looking forward to it for hunting. I killed my first deer with a bow last night and I was very disappointed when I couldn't find the arrow at first. I waited tell dark in hopes that it would be easier to see, and no such luck. When i did find it the next morning, I found that the clear plastic part of the nock had broken off at some point (maybe inside the deer?) and thats why it didnt go off.I'm gonna give it another shot...

Bright and nice.
So once these are in your not getting them out of the shaft without breaking the might feature of the nock. I learned this the hard way. Broke the first one as I installed in 90 degrees off and tried to remove to realign. The light would not turn off.The other two nocks are awesome and work fine. Just make sure you are aligned properly prior to installationAs a side note, that nick stayed light for 3 days straight before dimming out to low output. That’s a lot of light time for a nock.I will be buying more to refit my crossbow bolts.

One Died 20 minutes after its first shot
On the first deer shot with these, the light went dim and died afrer 20 minutes of it's first shot. Update, they aren't reliable either. They turned on about about 50% of the time in both practice and hunting.
