How does the activity run?
How does the activity run?
We have between two and 5 people throwing knife at a variety of different sized targets, and at different distances, which is when it gets competitive.
Why not have more people throwing knife?
Why not have more people throwing knife?
Knife throwing is probably our most dangerous and difficult activity to master. Our experience shows that the danger of a 'bounce back' where the knife can rebound from a target makes it more dangerous to have more people throwing. Also as its more to do with technique you benefit from the instructor guidance and ultimately it allows us to move you further away from the target, to land the knife from greater distances.
Does Knife throwing require a lot of strength to take part?
Does Knife throwing require a lot of strength to take part?
No we use cold steel throwing knives which are very light, designed to be used in one hand and perfect for throwing. It becomes more about technique the further you move back from the target, requiring more skill and concentration than just strength.
What is the minimum/maximum group size?
