Title: Mercury Nocks anyone...?
Post by: Al Kidner on June 08, 2009, 07:26:00 AM
Hi all,

I'm after some good quality Mercury nocks in white. Anyone know who supplies these now-a-days?


Cheers,

Al:  If you find some, would appreciate your assessment of their quality.  IMO, Mercurys used to be the best nock around.  I still think their design is.  Then quality control went to pot and I think they went to a cheaper, more brittle plastic as well.  I haven't bought any since.  If they've improved, I would take another look.  Thanks.

I'll second that. There are a lot of "knock offs", punn intended that are junk.
The real one's have the size stamped on them. I don't think that I have seen copies that have the size stamped.

I have 1000's of the Jim Dandee speed nocks.  Which I beleive are very simular to the Mercs.  I have red, blue, orange,and green.  This are from old stock, and are very well made.

We have loads of white Al , happy to send you some.
The ones that got the bad reputation were the old company ( Modern Alpha plastics) They no longer make them to my knowledge.
The Mercury nocks we carry now are from a new company and much better.

I shoot them on all my arrows and they are top notch. No complaints here.
Al, I have some white as well that I  don't need if nothing else works out.
