interested in Karli, Woomera or so - any other interesting weapons for throwing - looking for help

Hi, Im looking for something to throwing, other than knives, Im very much interested in all sorts of exotic weapons, not only for throwing. Would like for example ask about Cold Steel products, do they offer something really interesting for throwing or should I look elsewhere?

Im also interested in boomerangs for quiet long, but never tried Aboriginal woomera and those rabbit hunting sticks, is it interesting and fun, for example to try at backyard, if its worth the purschase...

I know that Cold Steel offers boomerang and some other throwing stuff, but no idea, where to look, they have quiet wide range of products. Anyone experienced with their weapons may give me advice better said, I would really appreciate it!_ Thanks to everyone willing to help!

Pro tip: Learn to control the rotation speed, it's the only thing the really matters.

Well I guess the tip damage wasn’t too bad

Was able to start fixing the tips up using a concrete step sort of like a makeshift sharpening stone or file. Still pointy enough to stick in targets.

Need a flatter target surface so they don’t possibly ricochet towards anything harder than wood or dirt.

Uggh

So I got a Honshu Kunai set a while back with some Christmas money. Barely got to use them. Barely got three throwing sessions out of them in the backyard of my cousin and his wife’s place. Using a tree as a target.

Now I’m pet sitting for them and just went to throw the knives and all three of the very tips got fuckin rolled.

Not even doing anything wrong with them not throwing them at anything that isn’t suitable as throwing knife targets.. not all my throws stuck but they never directly hit anything hard

I’m sad now.. I should get more than three sessions out of a good throwing knife set before having to do maintenance…

Even if I can sharpen those tips again they’ll never be the same as out of the box….

Playing with AI generated music I asked for a rock song about knife throwing. It's actually pretty decent 😄.

Final version of my Chonkers. Managed to shave off 130 grams with hard-core beveling and narrowing the handle a little bit. Now they are 380 grams of pure joy 😁

Tips for building target

Hi all, I am new to knife throwing. Sorry for my bad english, is not my first language. Yesterday I bought my first set and I tried them in the garage, but the noise of the knifes falling on the floor, or the wooden boards on the surface on which they are placed is really high and rumbles. Since I live in a residential complex I need to find a way to muffle this, do you guys have some tips? I read the using a few cardboards as a target could help. Thanks in advance

Back to basics. No fancy shapes, 33cm x 5mm x 400g. Simple and effective heavy hitters.

Very rare vintage throwing knife. High quality german steel. Good for no-spin, half spin, and stuck bolts size 32 (metric) 😄

Final shape of the new design. It needed just a minor modification in the handle part.

Ladies and gentlemen, the No-Shuriken. A concept thrower that behaves like a shuriken, but isn't.

A 3" x 5" thrower, shuriken are illegal where I live and I wanted something with a guaranteed stick. This has a %99 stick rate. Law says a shuriken has no handle, this does. In fact you can hold it as a melee weapon. It's compact but has that satisfying stick. I'm classifying it as a multi-tool, it's definitely NOT a thrower 👀

DISCLAIMER: this is meme and satire, in Roblox, not to be taken seriously. 😉 Please do not try at home, I cannot guarantee immunity to your local laws. This item was made as a decorative piece and I will be carrying six of them because it's part of my religion 😜(don't ask which one, you discriminatory person) and you're racist and or whatever if you say otherwise because that's how the backwards law works where I live and people get away with stuff like that all the time. 🤡 Anyway have fun out there!

Help Selecting Knife

Out of all my knives, I throw best w/ an Ontario Knife Company 499 Survival Knife. It has a 5” blade, 9.5” OAL, weighs 1 pound according the the OKC web site - but very well balanced. This is the model w/ the leather handle. It is now selling for over $50.00 - a bit much for a throwing knife.

Can anyone recommend a throwing knife w/ similar specs in the under $50.00 range? Or, do I just bite the bullet and get another?

Thanks!

Where to practice?

I just stumbled across this sub and it seemed like a good place to ask: if I live in suburban Maryland and want to practice throwing knives (starting from absolute novice level), how should I go about it? I see people posing images of logs and cardboard they’ve used as targets…can I just start doing that whenever? Is there anyone I have to notify or anything like that?

I made this as a joke to make fun of some friends. Throwing is easy, don't overthink it. Just practice to find your own way and have fun.
