I'm considering buying a package of Lumenok nocks but online there are different types to choose from like the lumenok s, the lumenok gold tip, and the lumenok x. What is the difference between them.

There are different models depending on your arrow size. Some arrows have a different inside and outside diameter. I have used lumenoks in the past and really dont care for them. The nock actualy slide back and forth in the arrow to activate and deactivate. I really like the new nockturnal lighted nock. Give them a look, there are actualy less expensive than the lumenock.

That or the fire nocks, but they are pretty pricey.

The nocks slide back and forth in the arrow? I don't think so. The inertia of the arrow being launched sets off the internal switch. I use the Luminock and they work well. I use the green and only early morning or last hour just for visibility's sake. Its really cool watching your nock disappear behind a buck's shoulder. Your arrow does have to be cut perfectly flush.
But that being said, I may try the new fire nocks too.

Here is a link to a review that I read recently, regarding lighted nocks. You may find it helpful.

Um I do think so. Just like the review pastor jim posted says, the nock has to slide forward to activate and pull out to deactivate. Another problem I had with them is when you hit something hard weather it be a log, tree or shoulder bone the battery and the guts of the nock tend to break loose and slide all the way up the arrow to the insert. The only nocks I have seen that have an inertia activated internal switch are firenocks and the g5 nocks.

How can i find out what size is for my arrow?

I have heard a lot about the firenocks but i can't find them online at basspro or cabelas,(don't have a store near me)but they do have lumenoks(not going to get lumenoks)g5's, and tracers. I've heard the the tracers are good and i'm thinking about getting them. Thanks Jim

If you get on any of the manufacturers website they will have a list of what size nock will fit what arrows. You can order firenocks directily off of firenocks website. One thing about the tracers that I did not like is the fact that you have to use a magnet mounted to your riser to activate them. They also recomend that you keep them in sleep mode so that cant be activated while in you case. I would only activate the one I put on my string and found that it was a pain to take the next arrow out of sleep mode if I need a quick follow up shot. Easy fix for that is to activate them all before you start your hunt, then you just need to put them all back in sleep mode once the hunt is over.
