i too use the easton tracers with my horton and out of three i have no trouble yet out of two but one never worked right out of box. i contacted the guy i bought them from on ebay and he said i must have one of the old ones. seems old ones once turned on you can turn them off blinky mode but not completely off. they die in a matter of days. easton supposedly has fixed this so they can be turned off until you want to use them. i was refunded my money for that one and guy sent me another free. i have had no problem from it
