Input on my arrow build- help me decide

[paxamus]

So I’m putting some new arrows together and these are the specs
250 spine RIP TKO is with Mini Sabres (3 fletch)
Here’s the question

Build 1- No lighted nock 481g with 18.9 FOC
Build 2- lighted nock 479 g total with 16.16 FOC
Build 3- lighted nock 494 g total with 17.15 FOC

This is an arrow I’ll do everything with. Target and hunt. My last arrow was 505g with 18.4 FOC

Is the lighted nock worth it? I’m changing collar weight (easy because I used cool melt on the collar) to get different weights- Iron Will HIT system

Everything is through two different 80lb bows with 29 inch draw length

Which do yall think?

There's not a gnat's ass of difference between any of those arrows. If you prefer a lighted nock (Firenock is the only one I trust FWIW), use it. At 80#/29" any of those arrows will be screaming. Get it tuned and kill anything you want with it.

I would personally go with build #1. I shoot a Victory HLR, iron will titanium hit insert with 10g back weight screwed in, magnus 150g LH single bevel, and 3 fletch with Bohning Alpha vanes. My set up is 482g 70lb 30.5 in draw length, and 17.63 FOC. This setup has been an absolute tack driver for me. I do tend to steer clear of lighted knock, ive had enough of them break upon release and send an arrow into a different zip code.

I admittedly geek out over these kind of details when I’m not hunting. I really would love to try the firenocks but installing them seems like a real chore and losing one would be worse

I was shooting 75lbs and 32.5" draw with RIP TKO Elite 250's, 500gr with 75gr HIT's, no collars, and Bohning A-nocks. Great setup, but last year I switched up to ~68lbs, same kind of arrows but 16gr regular HIT's. Still a great setup, and even better trajectory. I've never been a fan of collars or lighted nocks, just more hassle that I don't need or want.
