Pic above is w/ my reloading scale. Definitely the lightest lighted nocks.

That said (and I realize you didn't come here for advice or any opinions) but 4mm/G nock sized lighted nocks are the main reason I went away from 4mm shafts. They are the least durable of any lighted nock I've tried. The pictured one below is the only one out of 6 that "survived" an impact with any game animal. And this one was a pretty easy passthrough behind the shoulder, through just the ribs. Others caused near dry fires with a bow and most were unable to be located after shooting at deer.

I shot a buck through both shoulder blades and the Nockturnal 4mm didn't break. Do you hunt concrete animals? Come to think of it, I've never had one break. The only ones I've replaced are ones the battery died. I'm going on 4+ years and several deer on my set of 3. Sounds to me like either I got a golden batch, or you got a dud batch.

That was my setup the last 2 years w/ Axis Long Range. RX7 (RX8 this year) w/ a 482 grain total arrow weight around 280 fps. They hit hard. Full penetration nearly straight down through an old PA 8 point and punched through the brisket for an amazing bloodtrail, even though it wasn't needed as he crashed in sight.

Bumped up to 5mms this year. Still playing around with RIP SS and Axis 5mm, but the Nocturnal X nocks, and even the cheaper Amazon Keaup X nocks have proven to be very reliable and durable when hitting hard targets, and even target frames :oops:

And in case you're wondering, the Keaup X nocks weigh right around 23 grains (y)
