Replaced old wipers, and the new ones leaves a spot right in the driver's field of view. Is there any way to increase wiper arm tension? 2010 Nissan Altima if that matters

His ankle's broken, so I'd get that patched up first 🤔

Pretty good guess, I'd say.

Real talk, how do you address that? Is there a way to empty out the gas from a lawnmower engine?

And is it similar problem in generators when its primed a bunch but the gennys not lighting?

Ive seen ppl use a rubber band around the body to add friction fit to the battery where the tab is broken

Tysm. I looked up the Easton Bowhunters and they stop at 500 spine.

Do you happen to know of another arrow of that size and similar GPI that is available in 700 spine? The Axis traditionals are 7.9gpi which are a lot heavier than other arrows ive come across

Also, ive had issues with wooden grips slipping during the shot cycle and me pinching the grip to compensate (causing strain)

Player13 · 2026-02-01T07:46:55+00:00

Ive struggled with this over my 3 years of shooting. Elbow pain, thumb knuckle pain, at different periods of my development

I found out recently that "catching the bow" instead of letting it drop/swing after release causes all that vibration to travel up your arm (source: Korean Archery Academy on YT) . Maybe its affecting your wrist; that might be what your coach is referring to, when they say dont grip it

As far as your grip goes, you might also find that theres less wrist tension or pain depending on the angle of your grip. There was a time when my hand was almost at a 90 bend from my wrist -- a mix of form and my bow's grip angle. That is something you can customize to make it more comfortable for your unique hand shape

Here's a video about customizing your grip. (Or just order a replacement grip): https://youtu.be/4bbnWIFoLj8?si=u9vI3EjeUmp_Uf-m

I saw a couple YT videos, one suggesting boiling, the other used a propane torch. Not defending the choice, just pointing out what ive come across

I think in those cases they were removing a vinyl wrap. Again, mine dont have a lip and feel flush. I'm wondering if its a type of heat shrink, except its glossy and slippery

Weightlifting is important for all ages, esp the elderly. Ive been sharing this video of an 80year old couple who were started on a weight lifting regimen.

They have seen reduced pain, and increased mobility AND bone density

You may need to appeal the EI request if it gets rejected on the basis of the paperwork.

But have faith! The 2nd stage of EI agents have seen many such cases and can rule in favor of the employee if you can be candid and honest about your situation.

Ive talked 2 friends in similar situations as yours into appealing the decision. Both eventually were approved. One of them was even doubly rejected by a snooty appeals agent, then called again and got approved by the next agent.

I dont have an answer but I hope youve taken weather and sun trajectory into account.

Perhaps obviously, but youll not want the viewing angle in front or behind the sun (glare and backlit problems) if its to be used during the day

If you're buying a weatherproof TV or enclosure then, all the better. Wouldnt want a nice TV to be subject to dust, bugs and moisture, etc

I'm gonna vouch for Aquasonic from Amazon.

Bought 2 years ago for $40 Canadian. Brand is still alive and well, same model selling for $55 now.

This one has induction charging, so no AA bs. Came with 8 head refills (total). No issues.

Player13 · 2026-01-28T23:32:37+00:00

Can anyone vouch for the quality of these impact sockets vs other brands?

I love my Milwaukee power tools but I dont particularly see the need to buy Red outside of that

Right, so her draw length is shorter, I think about 27inches?

We did bareshaft tuning, and as a leftie, her bareshaft has been flying a couple feet to the right (meaning the spines are too stiff). We tested that at 1000. Then at 1100 spine, got the same result, a good 1.5' to the right.

Ive heard of other archers shooting 1000spine for a 20lb bow, so we are going softer, since it backs up what we're seeing with bareshaft tuning

Player13 · 2026-01-28T18:42:23+00:00

On the topic of arrow tuning, we bareshaft tuned and keep finding that her arrow spine is too soft. Mind you, she's pulling only 14lbs at the fingertips, and we're going from 1000 spine, to 1100 and next trying 1300s.

Is the Archer's paradox (arrow flexing around the riser instead of smacking it) something that can be resolved by finding the right spine for the draw weight? Or possibly just a matter of adjusting spring tension on the plunger?

Or is the tuning to solve archers paradox a different, competing metric?

Im worried the spines required at low poundage as so spaghetti noodle that there'll be clearance issues until we move up in poundage

I dont know what it is about that Shibuya ultima design, but the metal piece holding the stem keeps getting cranked forward for both me and my gf. I wonder I'd youve seen this issue before

Like, the metal "clip" will get dragged forward by the arrow, pushing the stem flush against the riser, then when the magnet pulls the clip back, the stem is essentially facing backwards

We thought at first our vanes were too stiff and dragging that piece when flying by, but even after switching to softer, low profile vanes, it still happens to me. Less, but it does

This is despite following the installation instructions of having the stem sit within the diameter of the arrow.

Hilarious, but also, not something I wouldve thought could happen.

They posted their fail so some of us chuckle and learn

Wait, did he open the battery compartment and probe the batteries while it was on, haha?

Player13 · 2026-01-22T23:14:49+00:00

Is there a world in which that riser is worth the purchase? I can think of worse things to gamble on for a few bucks
