Decided to shoot a bit tonight while I was smokin my gear. Sure glad I did. Come to find out, my lighted nocks (nocturnals) add five yards at 30_35 yards. I was shooting 35 yards and my shots were all low. Moved in to 30 yards with my regular nocks. Everything was fine. Shot my nocturnals at 30 yards, aiming at 35. Dead center. So if I use my lighted nocks, I have to adjust accordingly. I think for Saturday morning I'll use the nocks that came with my arrows. Glad I figured this out now.
Just in the Nock of time

I shot mine with the slick tricks on this evening. One with lighted nocks, one without, at 40 yards. Both shot identical and where I want them. I figured they might be different as well, but I lucked out.

I shot my setup tonight too and my nocturnal flew the same as my other. I was kinda wording about them but all was well. So if I miss I can't blame my setup.

Dustin, I believe what Milo is talking about is how your nock fits on the string.. If its a loose fit that could be why you are shooting low.
If that's the case Ill have to take another look tonight. It does seat a little different, but still seemed tight. Thanks for the heads up.

I almost got a pack of them off of AT as they were cheap but got to thinking I don't need to be messing with things this late in the game. Maybe next year.

Same here.
I don't use mine unless I am doing an evening sit. During a morning sit I use my regular nocks and arrows so I'm glad they fly and hit the same just for this reason.
