Anyone shooting these yet? What do you think of them? They come with 2weighted practice nocks I think, but can you get more of just the practice nocks?
Easton Tracers??

I didn't get any practice nocks with mine as i had to buy the single packs since they didn't have the 3 packs yet. They work great and i'll get more since they are the best, easiest to use lighted nocks i've ever used! Price is at the lower end for lighted nocks unless you make your own, which work good also, but still aren't as nice as the new tracers.

Shot them a couple of years now
and I think they are great.Easy to see and follow a hit in those early morning and close to closing time in evening.Coyotes think they are something to eat though after taking a hit.Those are bad arse varmits!I'll be ordering more from Easton this year,love to watch them in the air.

They are a very well made product however they are not even close to being as bright as some others on the market. I shot two deer recently, one with the tracers and one with a lumenock within minutes of each other. There was still plenty of light left and I never saw the tracer fly through the air like I did the lumenock. The arrows were stuck in the ground 3 feet from each other and at 32 yards away from my treestand I could see the lumenock plain as day, the blinking tracer was hardly noticable. I like them but I wish they were brighter.

they don't have a hole in the back of them like the new luminocs do, but they are still plenty bright. I've shoot mine indoors at a well lit archery range and the guys had no problem seeing them. I think the blinking feature is real nice also to get your attention and possibly extend battery life.

Does anybody know how much they weigh? I was wondering how
they compared to the luminocks.

I think they were 28 gr on my scale.
I had one go dead already. I'm trying out the other one to see if it last longer.
Much better design than Lumenock if you ask me.

if I am not mistaken easton packs the nock already together, with battery installed. If a magnet passes by the nock from another pack it will turn it on. Then one only knows how long it has been on at the store or at easton or in transit. they do weigh around 28grains
I like the lumenocks better for a few reasons: Lumenocks are made in the USA and Tracers are made in CHINA
! Lumenocks are brighter! Lumenocks weigh less. Did I mention Tracers are made in China? ukey: If you don't put the tracers into sleep mode the battery goes dead. Lumenocks are made in the USA Tracers are made in China! Did I mention Lumenocks are made in the USA?

I thought they might be lighter than that. I wish they were. I like the
fact they they are the same shape and fit of easton nocks. I have
never been a fan of any other brand of nock.

What size nock weighs 28 gr. Was that the X nock or the super nock?

Anyone know where you can get just the weighted nocks? Surely people don't just practice with only 2 arrows!

2 questions:
1) does anyone have the weight of the x-nock version? Is it still 28gn?
2) Can you get them in other colors? (I would like the green)
Okay... three questions: how does the weight impact accuracy and/or flight? That's quite a bit of weight to have on the back. Although, not unlike going from a 125gn head to a 100gn head.

I am still waiting for Easton to come out with ones that fit the Uni Bushing System and the Super Nock or so Easton Tech Supports states. So I will be waiting unless they are already out. Was hoping to try some I guess I will be waiting since they just bought the company that was making them and hope they are out soon...

They come in "sleep mode". You have to run the battery past the magnet in a certain sequence to turn it on. Then you can put it back in sleep mode when the season is done. Pretty nifty! I love mine!

Wieghted practice nocks.
These are all trade secrets. Keep it to yourself.
Eric:wink:
Wieghted practice nocks can be easily made by using hot glue inside an arrow nock, and pushing a piece of #10 or #12 solid copper wire into it. We use wire off a roll with the insulation still on it. We cut it to the proper length prior to assembly, but for the homemaker glue in a piece that is too long, and just start trimming it with wire cutters until it is the right wieght.
