The Nocking Point and Valley Traditional Archery carry them. They are both sponsors, and you can find them in the Sponsors' List at the top of this page.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

I hope the quality is better than they used to be.  That once was all I used but it got to where I was having to throw too many away due to poor quality.  They were great nocks when they were good quality.

The ones I got last year were of the best quality. They are a matte finish with the size stamped into the side of the nock. Consistent, nicely molded Merc nocks.

I just bought some from The Nocking Point and they are like the ones Killdeer spoke of.

The old Mercury nocks were always my favorite. I do not believe they make them anymore, but they can still be found. Make sure you don't get the nock-offs. Been there and done that and have never found the quality of the originals. I believe the originals always had the size marked on them (1/4, 5/16, etc) which helped seperate them from the nock-offs.
