Looking at skillful and well-aimed knife throwers, we often find ourselves wanting to learn how to perform this trick just as deftly. In principle, knife throwing today is considered one of the types of outdoor activities, and it can be practiced both at an amateur level and professionally.
It is often possible to master knife throwing at a professional level in all kinds of clubs involved in military-historical reconstruction. Here you will always find special targets, shooting ranges, and high-quality throwing weapons. You can also count on professional advice and practical advice, which is also important. It is worth remembering that going to the military history club promises an unforgettable experience, but you will also have to pay a lot for it. At the amateur level, you can throw knives even in an ordinary apartment - you will need a wooden shield at least one square meter in size and the knives themselves. A regular kitchen throwing knife will not work - it will most likely bend or break. Buy special knives, they are available at gun stores. The throwing knife has a rather narrow blade, the length of which ranges from 10 to 20 centimeters. Half of this length is the handle - it is never finished with plastic or wood, usually remaining all-metal. The blade should be double-edged, and the end of the blade should form a sharp angle - this will make it easier for the knife to enter the tree. Throwing knives is not that difficult, it just takes a certain skill. Take the knife by the handle and swing it so that the hand in its original position is at ear level. The throw should be done quickly and gently, without noticeable effort. The hand should be aimed exactly at the target, it is not worth using the hand - the throw is carried out with the shoulder and forearm. The maximum throwing distance for knives is about six meters. Knowing the theory, you can start practice. With regular exercise, you will soon be successful in throwing knives. Start with the smallest distance, gradually increasing it - and soon your accuracy will be the envy.
