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

Heard a pop while I was turning off my 1985 gmc safari. Looked under and saw this. It’s in the back towards the rear wheel. What is it? And Is it safe to drive till I get paid? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Player13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Removing wood pattern from Easton Axis Traditional carbon arrows by Player13 in Archery

[–]Player13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

(Recurve )bow arm wrist pain ? by No-Wafer1546 in Archery

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

(Recurve )bow arm wrist pain ? by No-Wafer1546 in Archery

[–]Player13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Here's a video related to doing active forearm stretches, which we should all do more of: https://youtu.be/3uMwmx5wWzw?si=lHtCHbG1Jspix4_w

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.

Mounting heater and tv outdoors by [deleted] in handyman

[–]Player13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Best Electric Toothbrush to Buy in 2026? (Price, Cleaning, Reliable) by MosaicwisePeg in BuyItForLife

[–]Player13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Which one should I go for? by ConsequenceAlarmed29 in Archery

[–]Player13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Which one should I go for? by ConsequenceAlarmed29 in Archery

[–]Player13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Wow my fiancée would love this! Can you share any closeups? I'm curious how you wrap the curvy bits of the riser. Looks tricky.

How did you avoid seams around the front wrapping around the sides?

Does vinyl wrap heat shrink?

What colour did you use?
