    Can we get the recipe, Greg? Or is the patent pending?

    I have found that Super Glue GEL is the ticket for me when gluing the battery into the nock though.

    It's a pretty easy task but I can't find the batteries any cheaper than $4 or so. Do you use the ones made by Thill?

    I think they're just a couple bucks at our Walmart? Maybe three tops?

    It's been a while since I bought any... I stocked up the last time they got some in and bought about 10 batteries all at once because they only get them in seasonally.

    ACC with Firenock

    For those that use ACCs arrow (349, Pro Hunters) Firenock can actually a better choice nock than the factory G nock. Reasons are as follows:
    1) Firenock "E" nock is only 5.3 grains by itself
    2) The center alignment issue of the typical G nock is no longer an issue. 3) If a lighted nock is what you desires, with the Uni-bushing and G nock BOTH removed, you are actually only adding about 9 grains to your current setting instead of the usual 17 grains. Which do not do much with the FOC too.
    4) Firenock E is significantly shorter than the "G" nock, which also help on FOC. 0.75" compare to 0.432" on the entire nock, to start with while the throat of the nock is ~0.45" compare to Firenock "E"'s ~0.15" which is about 300% closer to the shaft. Think energy transfer and nock flex!

    The Firenock "A" nock for FMJ and Firenock "E" nock for the ACC 349/339/328 are the same circuit. The nock is the only difference.

    Pictures Firenock "A" and "E" below for your reference
