been throwing for about 10 years now

when I started, I hadn't got any tips and learned to do it all wrong... later on I met another thrower (an AMAZING one) and he straightened me out.

I've got a few sets of the cheapy 'on target' 8" throwers, a few 13.5" dragon knives, and a whole crap load of 6", 8", and 12" home-made throwing spikes.

The spikes are by far the cheapest way to throw.. made em all from galvanized nails/spikes with just a hand grinder, and they're more forgiving on your targets.

I'm ok... I can generally stick 9/10 throws, within 6 inches of each other from 2 spins away. Can only practice indoors now, so mostly throwing from 1 and 1.5 spins.

A guy I know can pin-point playing cards stuck on the wall from 3 spins away. He is a Ninjutsu grandmaster, so I'm not counting on beating him in throwing contests any time soon.
