Ep. 67: It’s the Plugging Away that will Win You the Day

11 januari 2022 | 137 min

When you're lost in the Wild, and you're scared as a child,
And Death looks you bang in the eye,
And you're sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle
To cock your revolver and . . . die.
But the Code of a Man says: "Fight all you can,"
And self-dissolution is barred.
In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow . . .
It's the hell-served-for-breakfast that's hard.

"You're sick of the game!" Well, now, that's a shame.
You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
"You've had a raw deal!" I know — but don't squeal,
Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.
It's the plugging away that will win you the day,
So don't be a piker, old pard!
Just draw on your grit; it's so easy to quit:
It's the keeping-your-chin-up that's hard.

It's easy to cry that you're beaten — and die;
It's easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hope's out of sight —
Why, that's the best game of them all!
And though you come out of each gruelling bout,
All broken and beaten and scarred,
Just have one more try — it's dead easy to die,
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard.

- Robert Service

Aside from being a powerful poem, it will also make sense in the context of this podcast with Ret. RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT) Sgt. Major Seb Lavoie

Seb is a caring, passionate, and driven leader who has spent his life being of service to others. Facing the possibility of a leg amputation, embarking on a new business, and writing a book with his good friend in the process, Seb's life adventures are still in high gear. Seb doesn't have a road map, and the path forward isn't clear, but he knows what he would like to see for himself in his life and is using everything he has learned to fill in the blanks to make his end goal a reality and enjoying the journey and the process.

If you are looking for inspiration, if you have a goal you would like to achieve, if you are facing some life changing decisions, this podcast is for you.

27 april 2021 | 69 min

Grizzly bear hunting was banned in BC and now there are efforts in place to ban the wolf hunt. Will it stop there, or is all hunting under attack? Predator hunting, trophy hunting, and “the social licence to operate” is what this episode is all about.

Travis speaks with Steve Hamilton and Greg Rensmaag of the Wild Sheep Society of BC and the Talk is Sheep Podcast about this emotionally charged topic and what is the best way to work in harmony with nature and to pragmatically protect our natural resources.

Ep. 36: Rifle Accuracy and Precision, Your Questions Answered

9 december 2020 | 105 min

Brief Summary of Show:

In this episode of The Silvercore Podcast, Travis speaks with Ryan Steacy from IBI Barrels to answer all your questions that we received about rifle accuracy and precision.

If you have a story that would be of value to the Silvercore audience, or know someone who does, email us at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you!

Topics discussed in this episode:

Intro [00:00:00 - 00:02:52]
Gain twist barrels, is there merit there? [00:02:52 - 00:09:04]
Your specifications say barrel within .0001”-.0002”, which is extremely consistent. Many people talk about 22lr barrels needing a ‘Choke’. With this consistency, are your barrels not choked and is it really required? [00:09:04 - 00:14:48]
Is it common to have a schnozzle, schnabel on the end of a barrel? [00:14:48 - 00:18:11]
Barrel length, short or long for accuracy, which is better? [00:18:11 - 00:21:55]
Why different powders product different results [00:21:55 - 00:23:03]
They say you need a straight barrel bore for accuracy, is it true? How straight is the bore? [00:23:03 - 00:25:25]
Is there such a thing as a hummer barrel as a hummer barrel? [00:25:25 - 00:25:25]
Is there an optimal headspace?
What is the purpose of the shnobel on a barrel? [00:28:40 - 00:29:29]
Any plans on a barrel in 6.5 PRC? [00:29:29 - 00:30:25]
Is there any accuracy or other differences between the number of grooves a barrel has? [00:30:25 - 00:32:13]
Is there any truth to barrel break-in? [00:32:13 - 00:35:34]
How international is IBI? [00:35:34 - 00:39:23]
Whats up with “seasoning” a barrel for rimfire? [00:39:24 - 00:43:13]
How as a manufacturer do you make your barrels shoot well enough to be competitive at the highest level? [00:43:13 - 00:46:02]
With modern barrels is there any point in choosing say a Varmint/bull barrel or standard barrel for long range shooting? [00:46:02 - 00:51:05]
I’m trying to find a good reload using solid copper bullets (such as barnes ttsx, nosler e-tip, etc) in a tikka with a 1 in a 11 twist. I’m seeing lots of articles suggesting that you don’t go by weight of the bullet, but rather the length. Why is that? And is that the true way to find a good bullet for a barrel? [00:51:05 - 00:57:10]
Why are you so GQ? [00:57:10 - 00:57:38]
For my hunting rig, with weight saving in mind, should I go with a pencil barrel or a canon fibre wrap of the same length? [00:57:38 - 01:00:12]
Fast twist 22lr barrels? [01:00:12 - 01:04:35]
Cold bore vs. Clean bore [01:04:35 - 01:06:13]
How often do you clean your bore? [01:06:13 - 01:09:07]
Best practices for cleaning [01:09:07 - 01:14:20]
Fire lapping [01:14:20 - 01:16:10]
Carbon ring [01:16:10 - 01:23:05]
Does an 11 degree target crown make a difference over a 90 degree or other? [01:23:05 - 01:24:04]
Barrel or stock, which makes the most noticeable difference to accuracy? [01:24:04 - 01:24:51]
Bedding vs. V-blocks [01:24:51 - 01:26:53]
Torque settings, are the all that they are cracked up to be? [01:26:53 - 01:30:24]
Is Loctite overused? [01:30:24 - 01:32:23]
Do barrel tuners work? [01:32:23 - 01:34:37]
Will the optimal load for a barrel change over the barrels lifespan [01:34:37 - 01:35:40]
What is throat erosion and how can it be prevented? [01:35:40 - 01:37:21]
Will moly coated bullets increase barrel life? [01:37:21 - 01:40:01]
What gives premium barrel a better life span? [01:40:01 - 01:41:36]
Cryo-treating [01:41:36 - 01:42:33]

Ep. 15: Insider Pro Tips from Jimmy Hamilton of Vortex Nation

26 mars 2020 | 46 min

In this podcast Jimmy Hamilton from Vortex Optics and The Vortex Nation Podcast, talks about the history of Vortex Optics, the what you get in the different product lines, optics selection, field maintenance, pro-tips and what to expect from Vortex in the coming months. With Covid-19 and social distancing measures, we are taking steps to ensure we continue to bring you the best content possible given the circumstances. We are learning to adapt to our new situation and this is Silvercore’s very first remote podcast. We understand that these are difficult times for everyone and we want to be able to offer a little bit of respite from the day to day. While I haven’t said it outright in the past, perhaps now is as good a time as any to explain that every guest I have had on the show has been told the same thing. That is, in a nutshell, “keep it positive”. There is enough negativity in the world, and in particular surrounding hunting and firearms, that we will stay away from talking about negative politics, or anything that may have the tendency to be divisive or travel down that worn dark path. Here, we attract people who have a genuine passion for what they do and wish to share that passion with you. Every podcast we record is done with the end goal of educating and entertaining. Silvercore is a training company, that’s how we earn our keep. With Covid-19 for the safety of our staff and students, all of our in person training has been postponed. Until further notice, we are putting the emphasis on our online courses, club, podcast and YouTube videos. We will be maintaining our podcast release schedule, and working to increase the frequency. Now here is the part where I ask for your help. If you know someone who would enjoy our podcast or YouTube videos, or anything else that Silvercore offers please share it with them. Please engage us with your comments, questions and suggestions likes, shares and subscriptions. If you have a story to tell that our audience would appreciate, or know someone who does, let us know. Your interaction will help us in providing the best possible future content.

Ep. 11: Ethics and Insider Tips on How to be a Hunter in Todays Urban Society

30 januari 2020 | 88 min

In days of old, if you wanted to learn to hunt you would ask a friend or relative to show you. In todays society not everyone has the opportunity and learning to hunt can be rather intimidating if you don’t have someone to show you the ropes.

Dennis spent years in commercial fishing, is the past regional president of the British Columbia Wildlife Federation, is the current president of the Vancouver Gun Club, is a CORE Hunting instructor, and has been hunting and fishing for as long as he can remember. Jens exudes passion and positivity towards hunting in every aspect of his life. Having worked as a commercial hunting guide in the United States, Jens is a sponsored and endorsed hunter and has the fantastic Instagram feed “604backwoods” which will inspire even the most modest hunter. Jens now works at Stillwater Sports in Ladner, B.C. and spends his working and free time honing his skills and helping others enjoy our great outdoors and natural resources. Both Dennis and Jens are responsible for helping hundreds of young folk get into hunting through the Waterfowl Heritage Days and I guarantee you, whether you are a seasoned hunter or just curious about learning more, you will find great value in this podcast.

Ep. 09: Now you‘re bleeding too bear!

2 januari 2020 | 108 min

Silvercore has been providing bear safety training to industry professionals, both in person as well as online, for many years, but this marks the first time that I have had the opportunity to sit down and speak with someone who survived a horrific grizzly bear attack by using his pocket knife. For those of you who are following #silvercorepodcast on social media, you will know that I have been steadily building a custom podcast studio. If the audio sounds a bit different its because it was recorded on location as I travelled to meet Colin Dowler who was gracious enough to have me in his home and to share with you his harrowing experience of grit and tenacity. Colin wants to share his story to add to the knowledge base of bear behaviour and encounters so that you are better aware of potential dangers and to motivate you to become properly prepared and educated prior to entering into bear country. I should warn that there are sections of this podcast that will be intense and graphic and listener discretion is advised. Finally, if you are enjoying the Silvercore Podcast, it would sure help us out if you like, subscribe, write a review or comment and share with your friends.

Ep. 04: Now you see me, now you don‘t.

24 oktober 2019 | 65 min

In this episode I get the privilege of speaking with Guy Cramer, the CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corporation. Guy has created camouflage patterns for militaries all over the world as well as many popular hunting lines. If you have been to a hunting retail store, you have most likely seen his work. Guy has also invented what most felt would be impossible, a light refracting material that allows objects in front to disappear while only showing the background. Essentially, Guy has created an invisible cloak which he explains has practical applications both on and off the battlefield. Listen to the podcast to hear more and visit his websites, http://www.hyperstealth.com as well as http://invisibility.ca
