You aren't going to kill a bear, wolf, coyote, or any other dangerous predator with a throwing knife.Interblog wrote: ↑Sun Sep 16, 2018 9:16 amLOL... that won't work. And besides, around our camping property, there are also coyotes that are partly made of wolf DNA. They are far larger and meaner than what we have in Texas. They killed a young woman out for a hike some years back, and have attacked without provocation several other people in the general area, to the point where the local government had to put a bounty on them to reduce their numbers and drive them further back into submission.
My take on knives is the same as it is with handguns - I'd rather have some skill than no skill at all.
It's extremely difficult to throw knives with any accuracy and consistency. That said, I routinely get six consecutive sticks with the two sets of three that I own so far. It's a good simple work break activity. I work partly from home. When I need to stretch my legs, I get up from my desk and go pound my falling-apart target in the garage for ten minutes.
If you leave whatever it is that they came after they aren't going to pursue you.
Attacking a bear with a knife is just going to get you killed.
is much easier to learn and to become competent with.
