Here is a Spear-Style/Thorn Drill to Try

Here is a drill to try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twwENHRuSZw Basically all you do is circle a stump throwing knives at it from multiple distances. It is simple but breaks the habit of you normal target and forces you to think harder about judging the distances and how much wrist flick etc.

Good video, good throwing, and a good idea - one I mentioned in the Paladin dvd in fact.

Thanks, my practice has been getting a little better but my throws are is still not as naturual (or consistent) as I want them to be. I am hoping that throwing w/ knives that vary greatly in terms of size and center of balance will make my throwing more fluent and naturual. It may work it may not. Anyhow thanks for responding.

Nice Video, Knifethrower.
Which Cold Steel knife do you recommend for spear style throwing? It looks like you have a Sure Balance in the video; do the bumps on the sides get in the way of the grip for no spin?
Thanks, good throwing.
