My throwing range almost finished!

[Joezilla]

I wanted to "upgrade" after the tournament from the lame pine round attached to the door in the yard I had......SO!:

from 11 feet:

This one was placed:

placed shot again (taking pictures for Jeff Koch, trying at least)

I'm going to break out the lab's expensive camera later.

and Finally:
The whole backyard "camp"

I got all the materials, except for the screws, from people's trees cut in their yards (tulip poplar, I asked) and the backdrop came from dumpster diving.

I got the odd color paint from the shed. I tried to mix in red to get it darker but it ended up in some pastel easter bunny puke thing. Who knows. Anyway I have a few larger rounds that I intend to set up individually for hawk throwing. I also have a huge world war II camo netting that I am going to put behind the whole thing so any crazy throws don't hit the house.
The knife targets are setup to reflect IKTHOF style tournament throwing. I have spacers out there now so you can tell distances for rotational throws. (that doesn't mean I don't play with the Thorn throw! )
The knives are made by Jeff Koch. I had him drill those three small holes because many people throw Kochs and I've seen people get them confused.

That is really nice! I think you have room for setting up alternate targets for throwing in different directions, too (forward, backward, left side, right side). That is a great set-up, though.

It isamazing how you painted thesides of those foam disks to look like tree bark ! L:O:L

Thats a nice range you got going ! Considering mine is a coupla stumps nailed to the clubhouse wall ? its high test !

Very nice, clear looking targets, commandojoe.
One thing, though, my wife would never let me set up my throwing stump facing our house, camo netting or not! She'd be afraid that a knife would come sailing in through a window.

looks like a knife thrower's paradise!

I'd keep things strict with the house behind it and all, and have a rake handy if you throw smaller things... but it looks very choice and I wish I had a range like that to throw on. Good work!

yea man... i am so jealous. every time i go out for a throw, i have to throw in the woods. And when one knife misses the intended target, i have to switch to search and rescue mode.... Sometimes i can spend most of the time searching for the missing ones
