What did you do today that’s related to saddle hunting?

Watched a button buck browse for 20 min in front of me this morning. Unfortunately, his Mom never showed.

Last night I had a doe bed upwind of me at only 18y. She didn't move for over an hour. Frustrating to say the least ! I barely moved during that hour.
 
I should be receiving a fresh pack of lighted nocks and a new archer’s wrench today. My new arrows are shooting high with the stock nocks compared to my older (same build) arrows with lighted nocks, I am going to have to double check zero on the new arrows with new lighted nocks and then adjust sight if needed.
My old archer’s wrench is here somewhere, but I haven’t had to use it for years and I don’t feel like looking any harder than I already have lol. I could use a spare one for the tackle box anyway.

My Nockturnals have always been the same POI at hunting distances anyway. The only caveat is if the nock fits differently on your string

I think the one I’m getting is a combo hex key and star key set, made by pine ridge. My dad called any hex key set an “archer’s wrench” back in the day, and his was indeed just an Allen key. But generally when I see “archer’s wrench” or “archer’s tool” it has some combo of any/all of these: hex, star, broadhead wrench, sharpener, and nock tool, plus or minus whatever else that company wants to add. HME, Allen, and maybe Bohning make a couple of the ones I’ve seen.
I’m actually a little surprised I’m telling YOU this lol. I’m sure you’ve seen what I’m talking about.

Never fired the micro nocks that come on Easton arrows before now. Always used the stock Easton/bohning high-vis green ones that are similar enough to nockturnals. If I didn’t hunt I would just adjust for the micro nocks and go on with my day, but all things equal otherwise, I have to assume they’re causing the discrepancies because they’re SO much lighter than the lighted nocks AND the bohnings.
It’s funny you mention string-fit; the reason I didn’t try a nock from an old arrow is because the shaft-fit seems to be a little finicky on nockturnals for me.
 
Drilled another tree along the beanfield for bolts. Made a couple 2-move practice climbs with the Sladder using a Kong Slyde on a 12' Camo Elite tether (9mm)...works better for me than using a linesman to climb. I doubt I'll bother with a platform alot of the time; the stirrups were very comfortable to stand in.

Gotcha! I use the Ekland Brand of Allen wrench sets. You can tighten them or loosen them to your hearts content. They all come floppy so I put a turn or two and it binds them up a bit more.

oh man, that’s a blast of nostalgia! I just looked that brand up and realized my dad had one of those in his old tool cabinet. So cool, and I never knew the name of it, just called it another “archer’s wrench” lol. Funny, my dad has never even held a bow.
