My regular nocks weight about 12 grains. I have carbon express lighted nocks that weight 18.5 grains. Do you think the difference in weight will make any noticeable difference?

Actually, yes. You might not notice it at 20 yards, but then again, its a matter of how accurate you are and what you expect when you let one fly. I have friends who shoot one pin to 30 yards and claim that it make no difference...which is true, cause they cant shoot real well. It will change your point of impact, and it will be more noticible the longer the shot. Use practice nocks of the same weight, or just practice with your lighted nocks.

Not much if any but I am only a guy who shoots not an expert or physicist.

I can't robin hood my last arrow with a lighted nock but I can hit just behind the shoulder or center punch which ever you feel most comfortable with.

I've tried lumenoks, nockturnals, and carbon express. The only one that I had an issue with was the lumenoks. They hit 3" low and were a pain for me to get them to reliably turn on. I ended up staying with the Carbon express lighted nocks. They turn on every time and are very easy to shut off with nothing but your fingers.

Make sure you get the right size nocks and you'll be fine. I figured that out the hard way last year.. its amazing I killed anything.. Completely irresponsible on my part

they sure as heck do! If you put them on one arrow you need to put them on all and re-sight. ask dorge from firenock...

It's not the nock itself that is inaccurate, it's the change of FOC that changes POI and if you are running on the edge of acceptable FOC already, then you will most definitely notice a significant difference.
Arrow spine is very important when adding weight!

if you say so. I think im just gonna leave my sight alone as I cant tell a difference. but then I don't shoot 2 inch groups at 60 yards. for me, I don't shoot well enough to see a difference. they are close enough with my regular nocks.

I bought three lighted nocks my arrows hit 3" right when I install them take them out 3" back to left
Shooting Mathews z7 extreme 70 lbs 27" draw Gold tip 55/75 400 8.9 gr per inch 100 gr tip. I would not make it up. heck wish they did hit the same . this is at 30 yards.
You guys think the spine is wrong?
