carefull. Things have a way of bouncing back
I remember throwing several knives against a large standing log that I had leaned against my fence with a thick plywood board behind it just in case I missed, which I did quite often. one of the knives (my timberline specwar) hit the tree trunk in a way that it bounced off it and right back at me. Luckily I was far enough away to see it and it stuck into the ground a couple of feet ahead of me.
The next time I was throwing this pakistani made POS Tanto against the same plywood board and smehow I threw it off to where it stuck and slapped the board sideways broke in half and the handle came back flying back at me. Missed me by several feet.
The third time I was agan throwing knives aganst the trunk and my SHBM glanced off the side of the tree trunk and made a beeline for my wifes large flower pot. CRACK!. shattered that POS flower pot (a really big one that weighed about 100 lbs full of dirt and stupid flowers.
