RE: easton tracer nocks
I have tried them all and prefer the Firenock. No magnets, no little fragile wires and they work every time. I have over 300 shots on my "test" nock and it has worked every singe time.
They are expensive but worth every penny to me because they actually work every time. I'll pay extra money for quality. If I had all the money back that I spent on all of the cheaper Luminoks, Tracers, home brew, etc... I could have a Firenock in all 4 dozen of my arrows.

DO NOT TRUST THE VELCRO!!!!
Matt PA was kind enough to send me a spare magnet...mine fell off and i never seen it again....
mine work about 75% of the time WITHOUT the magnet (mine were original tracer nocks...the "smart tracers" to be exact...steady on for like 15 seconds then would blink after that to save battery life)
mine work every time with the magnet, thought it was somewhat finicky about placement. i played around with it on the velcro till i got it somewhere i had clearance and close enough to activate it everytime..i ended up mounting it where the shelf and riser meet...super glued it to my moleskin...
i had major tuning issues last year and couldnt get my bow to broadhead tune for the life of me...i couldnt trust the tracer nocks to hunt with because of that...i need to debug the tuning issue when i get home and then try them again...though i did bust a nock so im down to 2 lol...if i get the tune taken care of, i'll order nocks to fit them...not sure whats up with the tune...got a new rest waiting for me at home...arrows are gunna be refletched and most likely going to slick tricks instead of muzzys this season...see if i cant work the bugs out along the line...
but they do work great...very visible...exspecially in low light...confident that when i get the tune taken care of, they will shoot consistant.....might also been ME "peeking" to watch the flight...thought i can watch the flight and impact of any arrow, the brightness draws your attention IMO...the more i think about it the more i think it was me peeking...not the weight...the weight difference is minimal and really shouldnt cause any difference...
