TAKE THE FIRENOCK CHALLENGE 2010 Would you like to take the CHALLENGE? Well, if you have some free time and are willing to conduct a thorough evaluation on three lighted nocks then read on. Although it doesn’t matter what arrow shaft you shoot as Firenock is now available in all sizes with an inside diameter of 0.202” to 0.304”.

Evaluator must purchase a Firenock Pack. (Note: For bows that shot 300fps or use target like Spiderweb, Morrell 400FPS, Extreme Shock Battery End Caps are mandatory in order for Firenock to function correctly under those conditions) Evaluator must also purchase 2 other Lighted Nocks from 2 other companies, your choice. (Archer-Flame, Firefly, G-force Nock, NockTurnal, LazerEye, Lightning Nock, Lumenok, PoNock, Tracer, etc.). Evaluators will receive reimbursement from Firenock for the other 2 non-Firenock purchases upon finishing and sending in a detailed evaluation for this Challenge. If multipack nock is purchased, only one nock will be reimbursed for (i.e. a $24.00 pack of 3 will get back $8.00 tax not included) 5) When you notify me that you want to be part of the challenge, you need to send me the receipts of all 3 nocks; receipt date cannot be earlier than April 26, 2010. You must contact Firenock owner Dorge Huang: [email protected] or fax: (309) 356-5007 ASAP since only 10 will be accepted.* Please check the official Firenock challenge site http://bow.fishingcountry.com/bfcforums/forumdisplay.php?f=94 to see the number of evaluators chosen to see if the slots were full. After notify Dorge that you want to be part of the challenge, you will have up to May 5th to submitted all three receipts or you forfeit the challenge. 6. Evaluators must shoot each of the three company’s lighted nocks at least 100 times unless the nock fails prior to reaching the 100th shot. You must then note that in your report. 7) After shot #50 submerge the entire arrow with field point or broad head in regular tap water over night to test for water resistance. 8) After shot #75 submerge the nock as it is installed in an arrow in a glass of salt water (1 table spoon of table salt in a cups of water fully dissolved should provide a salty solution good enough for the test) for no less than 12 hours, then place the arrow while wet in a bow case and let it stay there at least one night before continuing with the shooting phase. Please indicate in your report the time frame from the time the nock was soaked and remained in the case before it was taken out and shot. * 90 After shot #99, find a concrete block or any hard object that you feel should break the nock when shot. Shot all 3 nocks and note the result. (i.e. you may break your arrow, so proceed with caution!) If you decided not to do this 100th shot as you do not feel like breaking any of your arrows, I understand. Thus this 100th shot test is optional for the tester. 10) Post a detail report/review on each (no less than 3 page of text for all 3 nocks, and photographs of the nocks). The report should include Brand/model name and cost for each nock, where each was purchased and how easily or difficult the assembly/installation process was for each nock. Include how each nock performed during the testing phase, after the salt water, tap water and final shooting performance stages. Also what you liked and disliked about each nock. Please be honest and truthful on your review/opinion/observation, as your test and personal information regarding each nock will be made public. As an evaluator we will publish only your name and city/state. You can add any test you think is relevant to what you as an archery would like to see or use. 11) When your evaluation is complete you will be asked to send it (word or text file) and the photos (jpgs) to Dorge Huang (e-mail: [email protected]) AND also post it on at least one general archery forum. When we receive your review Firenock will send you the products listed above and reimbursement you for the purchase (a check in the amount of the other 2 lighted nocks as I should already have your receipts). 12) The reviews (including picture(s) posted) will become property of Firenock LLC 13) This offer and the results will be posted in many places. 14) This offer ends when the first 10 have signed up and sent in receipts for all 3 lighted nock purchases. 15) This offers ends on May 1st, 2010 even if less than 10 people had sign up. 16) All 3 lighted nocks remain the property of the evaluator. 17) All rules must be met or evaluator will be disqualified. 18) The most updated site for the status of this offer will be on http://bow.fishingcountry.com/bfcforums/forumdisplay.php?f=94, with the thread titled “$3,170.90 worth of FREE Firenock LLC Products”.

Reopen, new deadline. People should not want to be in the challenge unless they are really serious for it. They took up spots for people who really want to do it. I have to turn away people for I have 10 already. I am glad that a few asked me to contact them if someone withdraw. Below is the update as of 2010/05/07. 1) Tim Gurewicz: WITHDRAW 2010/05/06 2) Dave Joseph: WITHDRAW 2010/05/06 3) Jeff Teti: Firenock S, G5 S, Lumenok S 4) Jason Whitt: WITHDRAW 2010/05/06 5) Mike: WITHDRAW 2010/05/07 6) Bob Wisdom: WITHDRAW 2010/05/06 7) Jarrod Kotes: WITHDRAW 2010/05/04 8) John Masloski: CX LaserEye Green, Firenock S, Lumenok SG 9) John Muller: Firenock A, Lumenok X, Tracer X 10) Chris Warden: Firenock S, Lumemok S, Tracer S 11) Cindy Lavender: G Force , Firenock S, Tracer S 12) Michael Schnorr: have not receive receipt yet 13) Wayne Dobson: CX LaserEye, Firenock S, Noturnal GT, Tracer S Due to what happened, I would not even consider anyone till I got receipt(s) in hand.

Please read the original post and follow through, the only difference is that the new receipt submission dead line is now 2010/05/10 at 5:00 pm for anyone who are interested.
