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.

Mike Horton at the nocking point also. They are good people as well.

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.

Al Kidner · June 08, 2009, 04:45:00 PM

Thanks all, do you have any in white Mr Badger?

Al, I always got mine from Valley Trad Archery.

And are you going to come pick them up?

Hahaha... well as a matter of fact I will be in the US come September but around the rockies and as far as I know thats a ways from your slice of heaven!

As for the numbers.... well I've a set of footed woodies that I thought I put some white 5/16 Mercs on just to try something new.

I got some from the Nocking Point (they have the good ones!) and would be proud to send you a couple dozen.

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.

leatherneck · June 11, 2009, 01:52:00 PM

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.

Al Kidner · June 11, 2009, 08:28:00 PM
