I don't use Tracers so I can find my game, I use them so I can find my arrows! Last year, I shot my buck just before dark on a rainy night in the deep woods and there is no way in heck I'd have found that arrow otherwise. Since it was so wet, I was able to quietly sneak out just a few minutes after I made the shot and recover my arrow. Looking it over, I could see that the blood was very bubbly and knowing that the deer was perfectly broadside, I was reasonably sure that I had double-lunged him.
I just like not having to worry about my arrows being out in the woods for someone to step on, too!
To answer your question, though, I've only used Tracers on the GoldTips that came with my Excalibur. I'm about to go order some for my vertical bow to go with my new arrows, though. The new
Smart Tracers have a very long battery life.
