Title: Looking for recommendations on lonbow nocks to purchase
Post by: Matt Heppe on September 13, 2012, 11:17:33 pm: My next bow is going to be an ash ELB. I want to purchase horn nocks to put on it. What are your favorite nocks you've purchased? I'd like to get them pre-drilled and ready to be put on. I'd also prefer that they have two slots so that a stringer can be used.

Thanks for your advice.

Sometimes they might have a little finish scratch, or be a little off to one side, but for the most part they are always dependable and I have used them on bows up to 110# @ 32" with no problems. It can take up to 2 weeks to get them after you order sometimes though. I have heard that 3rivers makes theirs too small. I haven't tried 3rivers though, so I don't know. Here's some pics of some of the nocks I have ordered and used from rudder bows:
