The nocks will say on the package which arrows they fit. I'd suggest looking at luminocks or the nockturnals.

For nockturnal's you want "Nockturnal-S", those are matched to your arrows.

TGB tail nocks fit most 5/16 shafts, work great and are only $50 a dozen. As soon as they make them for the X nocks thats all Ill shoot. For now I been using Luminocks and an am happy with them. :tup:

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Can more easily and quickly determine if shot was good, but I think more importantly makes it easier to locate arrow. Saving the cost and damage of a lost arrow.

Definitely helps you see your shot with the speed bows.  They have becomes so fast you can't watch the arrow travel and hit it's mark under certain light conditions.  My elk I shot last year blew right threw and I know where I was aiming, but couldn't tell if it was spot on.  I quickly shot the bull a second time and he dropped quickly.  When I walked up on the bull, I was slightly low.  Had I not followed up with a second shot or moved in to quickly without knowing the shot was low, I could have pushed the bull and made a difficult track for myself.

Important to know where the arrow connected. 
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
