After we perfected the D and Q nock, I have decided to do it all. So there are going to be 3 true nock for crossbow from Firenock soon.  Below is some technical detail to wet your appetite for this coming season.  Questions, fire away, I shall try my best to answer them.

I think this is supposed to be posted in the hunting equipment stuff ( Gear review), but before it's moved, are these made here in the USA or somewhere else? Just curious.

Base on cost of production, Firenock are 87% US content.  Does that help?  Unlike other companies, we track every single bit of our production cost.  To be frank, I do not believe there are any company in US that has a lighted nock that has a higher USA produce content than us. FYI, USA do not produce any batteries or LED for lighted nock, so if anyone told you that they are made in US, you need to ask what part and also for how much!

Q nock would be about the same as the D nock, only in red as of now.  Total weight includes the extreme shock end cap would be 31 grains.  Picture below is the D nock with standard extreme shock.

Does Firenock make these for bow fishing arrow shafts? If so, does Firenock sell the adapters? Next is how long are they supposed to last per battery?

Firenock's hydro line is our bow fishing system.  They are IPX8 complient, which mean they can be submerged in20M or 66 ft of saltwater for 30 days with no ill effect.  We made 2 different Hydro systems, one for 5/16 fiberglass, and the other for 0.246" ID carbon shaft.  the light is totally depends on what lighting system of firenock one use and what kind of power supply one uses.  For the ultimate with Firenock Internal IC Hydro systems with our 2011 hunting circuit with a 425 battery.  The bright lightning system will lit for up to 60 hours of bright light and dim up to 9 months.  For the target circuit, it will shut off in 17 seconds.  For blinking system, it will blink for 20-30 days with the right configuration.

Below is the link for our hydro set up.

Here is the 3 nocks in real life picture which I just took this morning. Form top to bottom, D, J, and Q.  I only have a few right norm but by next week, 5K each.  Should be enough for the next few weeks.
