What is Firenock "G" Series?
      Firenock LLC brings missile arming technology, reliability of modern electronics to the archery industry.  Firenock has successfully developed the ultra mini "G" switch.  This is the same technology as the 2nd arming switch in modern missiles.  (i.e. it needs to sense a specific acceleration before it can be armed.  This technology eliminates accidental misfire/self arming).  This technology is the heart of Firenock LLC's offering of our "G" series lighted nock.  In plain English, you get a lighted nock that lights only when you shoot it out of a bow/crossbow with no less than 65G force applied, or it will not light.  Accidental activation is no longer an issue, as you can drop the arrow/bolt horizontally as high as 21'(7M) without it being lit from the side.  Couple this with the latest MOSFET electronics and assembly methods, mathematically we have achieved previously unthaught-of 99.9999% reliability (1) for a lighted nock.

      Firenock "G" series, unlike the magnetic activated Firenock products (offer before 10/1/2008), do not require a magnet for activation.  Firenock "G" series just works like magic; the LED activates when it is shot.  There is no need for an actuator magnet, actuator adaptor or sticker and will not accidentally activate if the lighted nock system is exposed to a magnetic field.  There is no more issue's if you lose your actuator (magnet) in the field or drop it from tree stand.  Firenock "G" series is really a high-tech piece of equipment with the hunter’s designs in mind.

What products are available for Firenock "G" series?
      7 nock styles, 2 different functions of Firenock "G" series are available for ordering now.  More new Firenock "G" series products and accessories are coming in 2010.  For more details, please contact Firenock or click Products page.

Features of Firenock "G" series
Ultra small electronic lighted nock system
    Firenock employs a double-sided SMT (Surface Mount Technology) electronic circuit board to achieve ultra lightweight and extra high reliability.  The circuit board is also UV (Ultra Violet) cure epoxy coated to make it waterproof (can be submerged in water up to hours with no ill effect to the circuit, the only part that need replacement is the battery as it can short out).

Ultra-mini "G" switch
    Firenock G employs the first ever commercial volume, ultra-mini "G" switch (UMGS).  This single dircetional G switch size is about 2mm in diameter and about 6 mm in length.  It has a 4 axis tolerance of no less than 1,500g which is unheard of in a lighted nock application.  In plain English, you can drop your arrow horizontally to the floor as high as 21'(7M) without accidental activation.  Since the switch is directional, to turn it off, an eight inch drop on the nock will turn it off for the hunting model.  This capability makes accidental activation on a thing of the past.  The UMGS used in Firenock is 24K gold plated inside, hermetically sealed, giving extreme reliable contact, and corrosion resistance performance.  This gives Firenock UMGS a mean time between failures of no less than 10,000,000 cycles.

 

Replaceable nock and reusable electronic parts
    Most of the Firenock "G" series electronic components are contained inside a special designed transparent polycarbonate plastic nock (Int. Pat., US Pat. Pending).  This unique polycarbonate Plastic nock anchors and offers protection to the heart of the system (Firenock "G" series circuitry) and this design allows Firenock "G " series circuitry to be removable from the nock.  Thus Firenock "G" series nock is replaceable when it is worn out and Firenock "G" series circuitry can be reused.

Unique cross lock battery wire connector
    All Firenock "G" series employ its (Int. Pat. and US Pat. Pending) cross lock gold plated battery wire connector to lock the battery in place.  This special design battery wire connector eliminates the requirement of a heavy casing and can absorb most damaging shocks to the system when the shaft hits the game.

Enhancing your rate of game recovery
    Unlike other brands’ lighted nock, Firenock "G" series will remain lit even when it is shot into solid objects like bone, wood or stone.  This tough property of Firenock "G” series is accomplished by the special designed circuitry (US Pat. Pending).   Once Firenock "G" series circuitry is activated, it will remain lit until the circuitry is deactivated by the archer.  This unique characteristic of the circuitry allows archers to track their game and this significantly increases the probability of game recovery.

Virtually installation free and failure free
    For ease of testing of reliability, we designed the Firenock “G” series circuitry to function even if it is removed from the shaft.  Thus there should be virtually no failure after installation of Firenock as you can test the system before it is installed into the arrow shaft.  For versatility, the polycarbonate plastic nock is engineered to be able to fit in different brands’ standard shafts.  Archers can use different brand’s shaft according to their will and according to different hunting environments.

Super light
    Firenock S style adds ~15 grains to your normal hunting arrow.  This makes Firenock “G” series the ultimate lighted nock system for today’s archers not just on reliability alone but also on weight (speed).  In case of Firenock E style, the net difference is only about 9 grains!

Ultra bright
    With today’s high-speed bows, arrows can achieve a speed of > 300 ft/sec.  Furthermore, with today’s real life camo finishing, it becomes almost impossible to visually trace your arrow after shooting.  Under broad daylight, Firenock will let you see the entire arrow flight up to 65 yards.  In total darkness, Firenock will let you see the flight even up to hundreds of yards.
    The high intensity focus beam LED (Firenock "G" Series – 11,000 LUX) allows you to see Firenock under almost any lighting condition.

Ultra long lasting
    With Firenock "G" series low power consumption ultra bright LED, you can use Firenock "G" series as a location beacon to easily find the location of the downed game in the dark and to use it continuously for hours.  Firenock "G" series will stay lit for 18-24 hours continuously, and 38-48 hours in 1-hour increments with a fresh Firenock standard lithium pin type battery [BR].

True Switch Technology
    Firenock “G" series use true switch technology to arm and disarm the light circuit system.  Like a switch for lights, when it is not on there is ZERO power consumption/drain.  Unlike other who use sleep or low drain systems, there is really no true shelf life of Firenock. It is true after installation, Firenock will be ablt to function is as long as the true shelf life of the battery. When the installed battery dies out, Firenock is ready to function again with a new battery installed.  In case of Firenock's [BR] standard battery, if stored in 40°F it can be as long as 13 month (just over a year), while the [BL] is rated for no less than 36 months.

Hunter’s mind oriented
    Firenock "G" series "S" style nock will add ~15 grains to your arrow.  One should re-sight the bow for the difference.  An arrow of 390 grains leaving the bow at 260 ft/sec, would hit less than 1/2" lower at 20 yards according to our tests.
For practice purpose, each pack of Firenock "G" series includes matched-weight (+/- 1 grain) practice nocks in green color.  You can use the matched-weight practice nock to re-sight the bow and to save money. Not to mention having different colored nocks for spares since the nocks are field changeable.

CONCLUSION
    With the above features, we believe that Firenock "G" series offers the most advanced, the most compact, the most versatile, the lightest, the brightest, and the most dependable lighted nock available on the present market.  Knowing the above: if you demand a lighted nock for your archery setup, can you afford not to have Firenock at the back of your arrow for moments that seeing the shot is everything?

(1) Battery and battery connection failure is not part of the calculation.
