throwing knives
Anybody know how?
I've been trying to teach myself and I've been practicing whenever I get bored. I'm pretty good at throwing balanced knives (I bought a cheap set off actiongear.com), but how about unbalanced fixed blades? I have an ontario bayonet that would be leet to throw
tips?
When I camped out last night, I started throwing a hatchet into a dead tree. Twas sick.

Ninja stars are illegal in massachusetts. In the laws they specificly mention "ninja" weapons several times.
I want to build a throwing board with an interchangable board. when it gets worn I just slide the old one out

I have a set of 3 balanced ones. All it takes is practice. Just know the knife, and practice practice practice.

You should only use knives that are designed for throwing if you plan on throwing. They are made of a softer steel so they don't break when they strike the target and are designed to be better balanced so they fly straight and don't bounce back. Also, when you throw hold the knife by the handle (not by the blade) and try to get as little rotation as possible.

Seriously that is gay dude, I shoot my 22 all the time in my back yard when im bored....and when im really bored I will go drifting in the ghetto because their are no cops there.
