‘Little’ John Taylor
I started throwing, seriously, in 2005. I suppose I have always been interested in throwing things but didn’t really know how to.
Finding the Great Throwzinis internet site pointed me in the right direction.
After some months of throwing on my own I wanted to learn from others so I found the International Knife Throwers Hall of Fame (IKTHOF ), based in Austin, Texas, on the internet. They had a tournament in October 2006 so I went to learn.
With what I learned there, and from advice from good throwing friends, I have accomplished the following:
