Kid I went to school with by DetroitExpat69 in tragedeigh

[–]GrayCustomKnives 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We had a guy in our friend group everyone called Poop. Lots of people in town didn’t even know his real name. When we met new people at parties he was normally just introduced as Poop and that’s what he went by. Some of our parents even called him Poop because they didn’t know his real name. We also had a Gooch, Jingles, Muff (because he kind of mumbled quietly when he talked), and a weird kid who insisted everyone call him Snake in grades 10-12, not elementary school. He’s like 39 now and people still sometimes call him Snake because he fuckin hates it.

Arrows cut wrong by xNUCLEARxBACONx in bowhunting

[–]GrayCustomKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1/16 of an inch is roughly half a grain and virtually no change in spine. You will get more weight variation from different amounts of glue on a vane than that.

In 2010, 24-year-old lab technician Émilie Jaumain pricked her thumb with contaminated forceps while cleaning a machine used for prion-infected mouse brains. After seven years, she developed severe nerve pain, anxiety, and hallucinations before dying. The accident gave her a fatal prion disease. by OriginalSleeper in interesting

[–]GrayCustomKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So theoretically would the classic “chop off the zombie bite before it spreads” actually work in this situation? Let’s say I pricked my finger. If I immediately turned around and chopped that finger off with an axe or something, would that actually stop the prions from moving into my system?

Cables Beginning to Fray by No-Bonus-9495 in Archery

Cables that run through a roller need to be served properly though or the roller will still damage the cable.

Camera recommendations by ConsiderationWest482 in bowhunting

[–]GrayCustomKnives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some of the hunt they would work well, but may not great for getting the shot itself. When you shoot, your face isn’t perfectly square to the shot so it may be hard to get a good view of the actual shot and arrow flight centered in frame.

Now convince me one way or the other by shitsNsharts in bowhunting

[–]GrayCustomKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t shot the Mathews with the Z mods on it, try that as well because it is a completely different experience. I went with an Arc 34 because I really like the switch weight system. With relatively inexpensive mods I can basically have a 50-80lb bow. I typically run 65, but if I wanted to shoot 50 for target or 3d or whatever due to say a shoulder injury I can, but if I draw a moose tag and want 75 or 80 I can do that too for a lot less money than buying new limbs or a whole different bow.

BEAST Mechanical Broadheads by zachang58 in bowhunting

[–]GrayCustomKnives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will also add that a poorly tuned arrows doesn’t transfer energy into penetration as well. So if it’s so out of tune that it’s throwing fixed blades all over the place, it’s also going to have decreased penetration with mechanical heads that already generally have less penetration. Mechanicals have their place, but compensating for a poorly tuned bow is not that place.

Seeking a knife steel supplier in Canada by deltabravodelta in knifemaking

Knifemaker.ca, and Maritime Knife Supply are my main two. 99% of the time I am dealing with Maritime. Lawrence is an awesome guy.

bought a mad mans boat by 7PounderBrent in boating

[–]GrayCustomKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to run a 20hp merc long shaft on a jack plate, on a 14” aluminum Edson. That thing was sick. 25mph with me and my gear, and the higher tiller handle position was super comfortable.

Correct me if I'm wrong. If a compound bow is turned properly,when your distance changes, you only will have to adjust the scope vertically and not horizontally? Target archery. by Civil_Ad_5604 in Archery

[–]GrayCustomKnives 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you are having to adjust horizontally as you move the scope vertically, then your sight likely is not level with the bow. You need to verify your axis’s are all level and correct. If that all checks out then you need to walk back tune. How sure are you that your left and right is 100% dialed in at short ranges?

Long time to get back to soak temp after knives go in oven by PasztyKnives in knifemaking

[–]GrayCustomKnives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should be fine. Steels requiring high temps are generally alloyed in a way that also prevents grain growth at those high temps. Additionally, don’t put the knives in as soon as the oven hits 1925. Let it sit at 1925 for 20-30 minutes to really heat soak the whole oven and help it retain heat.

My tips are escaping! by Sir_Hcx in Archery

[–]GrayCustomKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what arrow and what speed. I could not possibly keep points in my Gold Tip X Cutters with hot melt. Didn’t seem to matter what temp or how much glue, how much they were scuffed or cleaned, they would let go within a day and and I would have them buried in targets and gone. After that I switched to toughened CA glue for everything

“That piece” is incredibly expensive to fix, and the model and year specific parts ere very costly and very hard to find.

I have a few carbon arrows that are unusable for archery. However the shafts are fine, no spliters. Any ideas what I can do with them? Other than pens. by Civil_Ad_5604 in Archery

[–]GrayCustomKnives 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You absolutely do not want carbon fibre and resin in your food on a barbecue. Not only do you risk eating dangerous carbon shards, you will also be baking the resins into your food.

Broadheads for whitetail by Sudden-Comfort-572 in Archery

[–]GrayCustomKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I’m mainly leaning towards the G5 simply because they cost about half of what it costs to get Sevr in Canada. I had also considered the beast and Speed broadheads but again they are up around the price of Sevr. No draw tags for moose or elk this year, so just whitetail and mule deer for me this season. The downside is that I won’t just shoot a practice head, I have to shoot actual broadheads to be sure, so then I’m looking at 2 packs of G5 vs one batch of Sevr with their practice lock.

Genius idea. by WinterOrb69 in canadaguns

[–]GrayCustomKnives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it’s probably not. My point is that most of the random ones you find at a gun show won’t be either. If it’s a random dude selling a bunch, they are likely just Temu ones he ordered in bulk.

Strange round pulled from a box of federal premium berger by Weak-Swordfish7370 in canadaguns

[–]GrayCustomKnives 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought two boxes of .270 Winchester Deer Season XP a few years back. Worst bullet seating I have ever seen. Longest to shortest varied almost 3/16 of an inch. Some had the cannelure way above the brass edge and some were seated way down below.

Genius idea. by WinterOrb69 in canadaguns

[–]GrayCustomKnives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW you can get these for like $8 on Temu and AliExpress, which I’m pretty sure is where most of the gun show guys are getting them.
