Bohning A Nock vs Easton X Nock

[ColoradoCarp]

Any thoughts on the A Nock? I shoot 5mm FMJs. X Nocks have actually worked fine for me, but ordered a new set and figure might as well go as lite as possible and Bohning A nocks are about 2 grains liter.

I've shot both and they've both worked fine for me. Use whichever one fits your string better. The weight difference is irrelevant and shouldn't factor into your decision.

^ Correct. There isn't a human on this planet who can outshoot a 2 grain difference. Nock fit is all that matters in this equation.

Every X nock I've ever used "smooshes" onto the string. Whereas the A-nocks actually snap on. I've been using A-nocks in all my .204" arrows for about 15 years now.

I prefer the way A nocks fit the string. Been using them for several years.

A nocks 100% The X nock is one of the worst nocks Easton has made. the 4mm Deep Six nock on the other hand is the best in that category.

"A" nocks fit my string way better. Slightly looser than x nocks.

Why are you shooting FMJ if you’re concerned about weight?
I shoot them to gain weight.

Well...I'm not really...it was mostly just I need new nocks and figure lighter is better at the rear of the arrow as my FOC is pretty low as is. But...as suggested by everyone here...2 grains is meaningless....so I think the whole think is moot anyways and probably something I shouldn't have concerned myself with from the outset. Hahaha. I'm just going to stick with the X nock because they fit my string just fine.

I've been shooting A nocks on my 5mm arrows for several years. They fit the string much better, have a slimmer profile, and are a tiny bit lighter(insignificant). I really dislike the X Nock! It is too tight on the string resulting in eventual serving damage and flattens the nocking point causing a potential for inconsistencies.

I’d shoot whichever fit my center serving better.

I’ve had strings that x nocks fit better on, strings that a nocks fit better on, and plenty that neither fit well on so I redid my center serving to fit whichever nock I thought looked cooler at the time.

Ive switched from AAE IP nocks to Bohning A nocks. Better fit for me.
