5.0 out of 5 stars Knife and Tomahawk throwing: The Art of the experts., May 29, 2000
By Loren Bailey (Oregon, United States) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book from Amazon.com in May of 2000 and found it to be excellent. I have always wanted to know how to throw knives and after reading for just one hour, I took several kitchen knives and was sticking them in the backyard tree, eight out of ten times. I am ordering several professional throwing knives and recommend this book to anyone interested in the art of throwing knives or tomahawks. Towards the end of the book, the author shares a numbers of very interesting stories about professional knife throwers and those who hunt with throwing knives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knife and Tomahawk Throwing: The Art of the Experts, November 30, 2000
By Mike Moulder (Muskogee, OK USA) - See all my reviews
An excellent treatise on the art of throwing things. I've been trying to throw knives for years now, unsuccessfully. After reading Harry McEvoy's first book "Knife Throwing: A Practical Guide" I had to read the follow-up. Terrific, alone or together, these books are a must read for anyone interested in throwing knives, or any weapon. The stories told by the author are fascinating as well as historical. Connect with knife throwers of the past and present, read these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginers or anyone else, November 18, 2001
This book is VERY interesting, it contains useful information about the throwing knife and the tomahawk (like the proper way to throw). it also contains great storys about spesific knife-throwing exprts and their extreme throws (like the longest known throw which is AMAZING), this is the kind of books that you start reading and cant stop, and after that youll find yourself reading through it agian and again (the storys told here are great for making people look at you funny and ask "how the hell do you know all this cool stuff?!?"). and with all that you will finaly understand how to throw the knife and make it stick! before i had the book i couldnt do it, but know i stick the knife more than miss it (btw the book also has info about making your own target board in your backyard)
