PRESS RELEASE
Firenock introduces the new “G” Series
What is Firenock “G” Series?
Firenock “G” Series, unlike the old magnetic activated Firenock’s products, the new Firenock “G” series products do not require a magnet for activation of the lighted nock system. Firenock “G” series works just like magic; the LED goes on when it is shot. There are no more clumsy actuator magnets, actuator adaptors, nor sticking and accidentally being turned ‘on’ if the lighted nock system is exposed to a magnetic field. Also, there is no longer the personal frustration and the failure of your lighted nock if you lose your actuator in the field or drop it from a tree stand. Firenock “G” series is really a high-tech piece of equipment with hunter’s mind designs.
Features of Firenock “G” series?
Tool-less field replaceable battery
Firenock “G” series battery is field replaceable, and it retail for $9.95 in a pack of 3. Thus you can use Firenock “G” series without concern of expensive battery or a one-time use lighted nock.
Tool-less field replaceable nock
Most of the Firenock “G” series electronic components are contained inside a special design transparent polycarbonate plastic nock (int. design pat, US Pat Pending). This unique Polycarbonate 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 nock. Thus Firenock “G” series polycarbonate nock is replaceable when it is worn out and Firenock “G” series circuitry can be reused.
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 epoxy coated to make it weatherproof.
Actual Firenock GS/GC Circuit front and back
Ultra-mini “G” switch
Firenock employs the first ever commercial volume, ultra-mini “G” switch (UMGS). Its size is about 2mm in diameter and about 6 mm in length. It has a 5 axis tolerance of no less than 150g which is unheard of in a lighted nock application. This capability makes accidental turn on a thing of the past. The UMAS used in Firenock is gold plated inside giving extreme reliable contact performance. This gives Firenock UMGS a mean time between failures of no less than 100,000 cycles.
Unique cross lock battery wire connector
All Firenock “G” series employ its (int. Design Pat. and US Pat. Pending) cross lock battery wire connector to lock the battery in place. This special design battery wire connector eliminates the requirement of heavy casing and can absorb 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 object like bone, wood or stone. This tough property of Firenock “G” series is accomplished by the special design circuitry (US Pat. Pending). Once Firenock “G “ Series circuitry is activated, it will remain lit until the circuitry is deactivated by the archer (hunting model). 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 design the Firenock “G” series circuitry to light even if it is removed from the shaft. For versatility, the polycarbonate plastic nock is engineered to be able to fit in different brands’ standard shaft. Thus archers can use different brand’s shaft according to their will and according to different hunting environments.
Super light
Firenock GS 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).
Ultra bright
With today’s high-speed bow, arrow 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 – 8,000 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 1-hour increment with a fresh Firenock power lithium pin type battery.
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, it 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 matched-weight practice nock to re-sight the bow and to save money. Not to mention have different color nocks for spare since nock 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?
