Thrown weapons run (as requested)
Thrown weapons run (as requested)
This is the Thrown weapons example run I did in the summer. Kealin asked for a video and I am working on it but this run occured at a practice and a friend of mine was able to take a pic of each piece I threw, watch them pile up! Hee hee, normallyI don't throw at the target after my axe goes up as it tends to have this effect:
Unless we are playing "Loki's Legs" ...that is were you have to throw both axes at the same time and throw all three seaxes between the two. (a bit of a challenge and why I make a lot of axe handles)
Anyway on with the run!
(Just a note: all of this is done on the move, advancing on the target with a brief pause for the second seax.)
First throw, spear from behind the 20' mark
Second throw, axe approximately 15' mark
Third throw, Seax from the 12" mark to the 3:00 position
Fourth throw, seax at 15" mark to the 9:00 position
Fifth throw, throwing dagger at the 10' mark to the 12:00 position
Chuck around the clock!
I will try to get some vids up next!

Re: Thrown weapons run (as requested)
Very nice!
Now you've gotten me excited about thrown weapons again. I still need to learn how to throw those throwing knives I have. Does anyone know if there are online video guides or even illustrated written guides to proper knife-throwing technique out there?

Re: Thrown weapons run (as requested)
I finally decided to get around to looking at Avery's video(s?) on throwing just now, but couldn't manage to find them on youtube or google. XD Could someone please toss me a link if you know where they are?Ringulf wrote:Yes there are Ernildir!

Though I only see videos about axe-throwing... none for knives. Are they basically thrown the same way? So I could learn to throw knives by watching the axe-throwing tutorials?

Re: Thrown weapons run (as requested)
A lot of that depends on the type of knife you throw. My CS seax knifes throw more like axes and a slight step forward normally is all the adjustment I need to stick them properly. but the balance is very different and the technique involved in getting good form with both types of weapon is somewhat different. I suggest you just look on Youtube for knife throwing. Though I seem to remember Avery having a rather nice tutorial on throwing Bowie type blades.

Re: Thrown weapons run (as requested)
Yeah, I've had luck throwing axes, and I find it really fun, but I'm shyte with knives. They boggle me for some reason, and I can never get them to rotate right.
