Illumitacks Game Recovery and Safety System LED Tacks aid archers involved in blood trailing and tracking duties. Illumitacks will help keep you on the trail, day or night, rain or shine. The kit includes six bright, flashing, magnetic LEDs -- one green and five orange, six reusable steel tacks, and a 25-foot roll of fluorescent vinyl ribbon.

The LEDs attach magnetically to almost any surface. Place them on clothes, hats and bows to warn others of your approach while moving to and from stands. The company's 25 top blood tracking tips, batteries and window decal come with each purchase.
