Horn Nocks - Source

Hi,

Just bought 2 packs of pre-made horn nocks off ebay for £4 a pack. They just need glueing on/final fitting/polishing.

I think that they are a fantastic price - the quality looks spot on. Here is the archery shop:

eBay UK Shop - J J Traditional Archery: Nocks, Arrows, Arrow Shafts

they also have a website J &J Traditional Archery Supplies

I'm still getting into bow making; and buying these off the shelf allows me to concentrate fully on the bow.

Cheers, Dave

You can get them from Highland Horn. Cannot rememebr web address but if you ptu name into Google you'll find it. They supply the retailers I think which is why their prices tend to be lower. They also do whole water buffalo horn plus stuff like deer leg sinew too.

I have just recieved my horn nocks from e-bay and they are very good and very reasonable at £4. I also use Highland Horn for walking stick parts, a very reasonable and well stocked web catalogue.
