Tracer Nock, Update (poof done).
Ben / PA gave me a call and said he was headed up his cabin to check his trail camera and asked if I wanted to go along. Sure I did and we checked the cams.
Well back at the house we checked the cards and on one card there was a real decent buck....but on to the Tracer Nock.
We went into my basement do to the bad weather and I showed Ben the nock.
I took a shot and sure enough, it lit. Cool.
I then shot it out of the General (no magnet) and it lit fine!
Okay, again on the General, it lit (no magnet). Cool I'm thinking it's fixed.
Shot it from the 82nd, no light.
I heard a noise in the arrow, rattle, and honestly I think it's a faulty nock. It then wouldn't unlight, then it wouldn't turn on at all other than blink. I shot it and it did nothing and then all of a sudden it started blinking in the target.
Here is my thoughts. The S nock (Tracer) is made to fit all the production carbon arrows. It also says it fits any Easton with the unibushing taking the S nock. HOWEVER, when inserting it in the 2413 unibushing, the electronics part of the nock is now free floating in this big diameter 2413. I don't think it can take the smashing this arrow does when it hits the targets.
I'm writing Easton to inquire because now, it does nothing. I run it by the magnet and it starts to flash, I cannot deactivate it or anything. If it wasn't bad before, it is now. Honestly, since they claim it fits all unibushing Easton arrows, that's somewhat misleading because yes it fits, but it's not going to last. I'll be curious to what they have to say.
