LUMINOK's work great, if using GT II's you must order directly from Burt Coyote Company.

I use a Lumenock on my Beaman Thunderbolts. I keep one or two in my quiver for the lowlight in the AM and PM. They work fine but the wires that make the connection tend to dimple the end of the carbon shaft a little (it really is minor). I don't shoot them a lot, but when I do I turn the nock a little so it isn't always in the same spot. The damage can be cleaned up easily with the G5 ASD.

Also of note is that the Beaman Thunderbolt has a low FOC and my arrows that have the Lumenocks in them fly a little differently.

I like the lighted nocks,the wire running to the generater make it easy to pull in your bolts after you shoot.You can get them at Princess Auto

I use the tracearrow,now owned by Easton.It uses a magnet to activate,which I do not like,but they work.

I also use the Tracers. I thought I'd hate the magnet, but I've never had one fail to light up and I find it far superior to the Lumenoks on my vert bow that I have to wiggle out a little to turn them off.

I did find a nice spot for the magnet and I agree,they have never failed to light and they are very bright,the magnet has never come off either after MANY shots,They fit very snug and I had to make sure I got all the old insert adheasive out so it would go all the way in.

Hey Sax , where on your crossbow did you put the magnet ? & what arrows did you put the tracers in ? & what glue did you use to stick the magnet on with ? Dave.

These tracers sound like they may be the thing for bear hunting .

I do this a little different since I make my own bolts. I insert a piece if 1/4 " dowel stick, an idea I picked up on another site and enlarge my rear insert large enough to insert a thill led (push in-on,Pull out-off ) inside.
After the shot, I use shrink tubing to remove the led, then I can still use a T handle to remove the bolt. I had to re tap the rear insert to fit a little larger thread. The thillite is $3 @ walmart. (in the fishing float dept.) The rear of the led fits up against the dowel rod.

I placed mine in the broadhead cutout in the riser making sure the head or fletching made no contact,It lights everytime,the magnet has not come off ever and after 10 or 20 seconds it starts to flash and will for 90 hours
