Archery Equipment - Lighted Arrow Nocks
In the last few years lighted nocks for arrows have become very popular and much more reliable than they were when they first came out a few years ago. I personally use them on my hunting arrows so I have a better idea where I hit an animal, which gives me instant feedback on whether I made a perfect or less than perfect hit. Let’s take a look at a few of the different lighted nocks on the market.
Easton archery bought out Tracer nocks a couple years ago and made some improvements on an already very well designed nock. The Tracer nock is activated by a magnet that you attach to your riser shelf. When the arrow passes by the magnet the nock lights up for 30 seconds and then goes into a blinking mode to conserve battery life. The nocks battery life is rated for 90 hours; however, once you have a few hours of use you will notice they aren’t as bright. This isn’t a big concern if you are using them mostly for hunting and you usually don’t shoot too often.
Another brand of lighted nocks is the Lumenock which differs from the Tracer nocks magnetic activation. The Lumenok is the most popular lighted nock on the market and simply turns on by the force of the arrow being shot. The simplicity of its design and operation make it the lighted arrow nock of choice for many of today’s most progressive archers and professional bow hunters. The Lumenok adds only a few grains of weight to your arrow. No magnets are required for Lumenok function. Minimal arrow shaft end preparation and fitting are required for proper Lumenok function.
Firenock is one of the more recent additions to the lighted nock market. Firenocks use what they call the “G Switch”, This is the same technology as the 2nd arming switch in modern missiles. (i.e. it needs to sense a specific acceleration before it can be armed. This technology eliminates accidental misfire/self arming). Firenock “G” series is really a high-tech piece of equipment with the hunter’s designs in mind.
