    The new (2008 models)ones are supposed to be 100% sealed.

    I was going to buy a 4 pack tonite but Bass Pro was out of the ones for my arrows. I passed on buying the Luminocs. I’ve heard that they can have some issues staying on when the your arrow makes an impact. I’ll definately pick up some Tracers when they get some back in stock.

    Good to hear they are water proof.

    Do the lighted nocs weigh enough to change my arrow flight??

    Ben, I guess it depends. When I switched to the Lumi and Tracers, I think they end up adding soemthing like 13-20 grains depending on model. I did not notice any change in arrow flight to about 35 yards. I had to adjust my 40 & 50 yard pin. This would vary on how fast your bow is, the weight of your arrow, etc.

    i didn’t notice a difference I made sure to shoot it and see what would happen if i used it in the field. I didn’t shoot passed 30 yards or so w/ it, i didn’t really think about it until Lip mentioned 40 and 50 being different

    I had to switch my tracer nock onto my other arrow because i shot a doe 2 weekends ago with it on. I turned it off before i stowed my bow away and i put it on my new arrow, and it didn’t turn on I took it off and looked and there was some gut juices on the rubber part so maybe it corroded and got to some wires or something

    Weird, but my guess is yes Gut juice probably contained acid and corroded the electronics.
