5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Knife Throwing: A Practical Guide (Paperback)
Mr. McEvoy teaches traditional knife throwing in this book as well as outlines tomahawk throwing. If you wish a more in-depth look at tomahawk throwing, I suggest you read Mr. McEvoy's other book on the subject. The author describes in detail the traditional technique as well as ways to figure out the distance at which you can throw the knife and "stick" it. He also has tales of past professionals in the sport and their own particular styles of throwing. He also talks of using throwing knives as huntsmens' tools and building a suitable outdoor target. He also shows you how to select (a) suitable knives (knife). If you wish to get the fundamentals of knife throwing down, this is the book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good guide, the rest is up to you....,
By Agustin Devoto (San Antonio, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knife Throwing: A Practical Guide (Paperback)
Very good, short, easy to read book. Mc Evoy shows you the techniques for throwing a knife accurately. Reading this book will point you in the right direction. Afterwards practice, and lots of it is what is going to make you good at it. The only reason i deducted one star is because since the book was written in 1973 I believe, some of the info on Knife throwing affiliations, etc.. is outdated. Nonetheless, good, concise, and informative book.

Not only does this book explain the snap , you must have to actually stick a knife and show all the fundamentals and learning secrets, but it also goes in depth for the intermediate thrower on trick throws and more advanced techniques and illustrates professionals and what they use and what they inspire. A great book for any stage of the fascinating art of knife throwing!
