Axe and Knife Throwing

I got to work on axe and knife throwing on Saturday at an SCA event. Oh how I wish I had my own practice area, because I'm right on the verge of improving. I can hit the target 9 times out of 10.  I just can't get much to stick. I have to work on the rotation.The highlight of my day was when I hit the target with a axe from 20 yards away and got it to stick. It wasn't a bull's eye but it was on there.

Thrown Weapons

I'm happy to say that I've rejoined the SCA to work on my fitness, and last Saturday I got authorized to do thrown weapons at their events. I got lessons from two women on how to throw axes, knives and spears. And I hope to bring my atlatl equipment to future practices, as they seem open to it out in Altavia. I feel like I am finally getting closer to my goals.

I also did archery at their event last Saturday. They had horses as well. I've never been able to afford one nor have I lived in a place that allows them, but I sure wish I did. They were handsome indeed.
