Tracer Nock Update
Hi All:
OK, after talking to the Easton rep this weekend a few things came up. They are too loose for a Gold Tip carbon bolt (though they fit most all of the factory supplied carbons from Parker and Horton and such). I am getting in some other sizes and will be experimenting wiht them a bit since I like this design better than the Luminocks. Here is one thing that annoys me...and again, crossbows are strictly an afterthought here...Easton only has the single packs available for crossbows. If you have a vertical bow you can get a 4 pack and that includes a practice nock. Not with a crossbow. If you want a half dozen of your bolts set up with Tracer nocks you need to buy 6 individual packs at $10.00 each and there is a magnet in every pack. I even asked if they could be bought in bulk and got a flat "no" from the rep. Nice nock, but extreamly short sighted on Eastons part IMO...

I use the Easton Axis ST with the luminok an have been very unimpressed with the luminok. Of the six that I purchased I have gotten one to work. I am very excited that someone has finally come out with something to give them a run for there money.

ANy dealer that sells Easton (that pretty well means just about every archery store in the USA) should at the very least be able to order them for you. I know that I am waiting for them to come back into stock. They are currently backorderd on me, butI should see more instock within a week or so. Check around, someone may have some still on their shelves.

I can't speak for the new production models but I have two of what must be the last ofthe original manufacturers production and they WILL COME ON BY THEMSELVES without any magnet around just a slight bump and they will come on I like the idea but the ones I have do have a problem
