you will also want new bolts that have never had inserts installed before you can get both from Dan Miller 740 483 2312
Why is it that you need new bolts? Is the glue residue an issue when installing the Lumenocks?
A new bolt is best because when you pull out a factory insert out of a fire bolt you pull out pieces of carbon fibers compromising the bolt
Also you need a perfect cut end for the contacts to function correctly and no residue to mess up installation.
It can be done on a previously nocked bolt but new never inserted bolts are the way to go

I've used the Lumenoks for two seasons now on same batteries and they have been flawless. I ordered them already installed in carbon bolts with brass inserts from Burnt Coyote Co. so that I would know they worked from the factory and my ability to install was not in the equation. I will be making my own bolts next year and installing new lumenoks.

Will never go back to using non lighted arrows. The ability to see your point of impact has been a valuable tool in recognizing shot placement. Have not tried other brands but ease of use, reliability and long battery life will keep me on the lumenoks. Hope this helps.
