Firenock. I have tried them all and Firenock even holds up and performs perfectly when we use them for bowfishing.

I can't stand this idea, the illuminated nock, I think this is one of the stupidest inventions ever. In the commercials all I see are arrows missing deer, certainly not good advertising, and seriously makes me wonder if deer can jump the arrow more easily than without a illuminated nock?

How did we kill deer 10 years ago? I guess we didn't.

So you think deer intentionally jump and duck arrows cuz they see them coming? You think now they can see the nock and this will help them elude the arrow even better?

I wonder how we kill deer today not 10 years ago!

I can assure you that the deer sees nothing (from his side of the arrow).

Guy posted a video, last year.....of what the deer sees and hears (had a camera sitting on his target while shooting an arrow with a lighted nock).

Can these "Tracer Nocks" be found for easton axis or beman black max arrows? I found some in Cabelas but I dont think they are the same size as an X nock.

You can't see the lighted nock when the arrow is coming at you. Can't stand it huh? For giggles...it makes our video cool as heck, especially the bowfishing at night. For practical purposes, shot at dusk and you will instantly find out if your arrow is flying as straight and true as you thought.

Has anyone tried the Archers Flame nocks? Would be interested in your opinion if so.

RobinAimLow~~~ You say you have tried them all!! Have you tried the Tracer nocks?
Im not saying that your firenocks are not the cats meow as I have never tried them, but I just cant see how a lighted nock can be any better designed then the Tracers??IMO
