    Default So much fun to shoot my Firenocks

    I had a blast tonight breaking in my new Z28 and my firenocks. I was shooting the two practice nocks and 1 firenock. It was a lot of fun to see that lit up nock travel to the target. And yes...It lit up every time! I would highly recommend these if anyone is looking to spice up their target shooting and hunting. I can't wait to arrow a deer with one!

    I know what you mean I want some too but I can't justify spending 60.00 just for target practice since they are illeagal here in Oregon to hunt with.

    Yeah but it sure would be fun to watch trajectory and would improve seeing the fishtail if you are torquing the bow. One of these days our state will allow something other than 1920 technology!!

    I tried Luminocks but had issues beyond 20 yards. Have you tried them at long range yet?

    I shoot my firenock out to 60 yards with zero problems. And they are BRIGHT. Can't use them in ND for hunting, but man are they fun to play with.

    Default Firenock for long range

    Firenock with its 8,000 LUX LED is field tested to be visible up to 1.2 miles or 2,000 yards in total darkness. Since it gives out ~1,500 LUX with our latest battery. Without the nock it gives out 5,350 LUX. For reference, a fresh tracer I purchase off the shelf gives out about ~100 to ~170 LUX at best. Firenock is with the orange nock will be visible up to about 45 yards under the african sun. Please note that the light angle of the LED of Firenock is only 15 degrees so it is a focus beam and thus it only let out less than 3% of the light from the side.

    I have shot Firenock just for fun for 300 plus yards and it is a sight to see on any empty fields at night or just when i walk out from the woods after a hunt.

    Dorge's Firenocks are the best lighted nock available--hands down.

    I shot them today in the middile of the day from 50 yards. It was very bright outside...I couldn't see them all that well, but I still could see them...especially when they got to the target. i just got mine 2 weeks ago, and I don't know if I got the new batteries, but they are still pretty bright...especially at low light when I will need them!
