## Resource

This episode starts with a broader conversation about nocks in general, including the different options hunters and archers use and the tradeoffs that come with each design. Listeners will hear how lighted nocks have evolved, why some designs work better than others in cold, heat, impact, and moisture, and what it takes to build gear that performs consistently when it matters most. From there, Dorge Huang of Firenock joins the discussion to share how his company approached the same problem from a different angle, with a focus on reliability, durability, and performance in real-world conditions.Whether you’re a serious hunter, an archery enthusiast, or just curious about the technology behind modern equipment, this episode offers a practical, well-rounded look at the conversation around nocks—and where innovation is headed next.
