random image - throwing bolt

13.5" long, 7/8" thick weighs in at 2lbs .2oz... it can make 1/4" dents in the throwing board when used as a baton, and when used as a weapon, it will bruise/break/fracture pretty much any bone it hits if you throw it hard enough, regardless of wether it hits tip first or not. its pretty impressive... not really a very practical weapon, as there is no real way of explaining why youd carry it.

it splits fresh 2x4's on the first hit if you stick it right...

i now realize after thinking about it that this has nothing to do with knife throwing as it is not a knife....

it does force to you be more accurate since it only sticks if you hit direct tip though

Ok, here's one of my favorites. Take two of those bolts, sharpen both ends. Cut one in half and weld it on to the other one to make a + pattern. I call it a spike star. It is heavy but will rip through just about anything. Once you get used to throwing something that heavy most other stuff is easy. Great fun, and it sticks almost every time!

Nonsense! It totally belongs here. Any projectile thrown by hand should be discussed here, I think, since it obeys largely the same techniques.
