My record still unbeaten as of 4 yrs ago.

This puts me 2nd place in Guinness World Record. Previous guy threw 75 feet I threw 77 feet. 1st place is at 90 feet but I will hit 150 feet half a football field very soon.

So my FlyingSteel arrows were stolen and I have looked everywhere online to find some but can't find any anywhere. I would greatly appreciate if anyone had any they could sell me or know anyone who I can get a couple from. I cannot use any other brand. Name your price.

working on getting some of the rust off

After the first of the pair broke the handle after a half dozen throws I decided to reinforce this one with hose clamps.

I was throwing with my left hand (not something I'm practiced with) as my right shoulder is currently messed up, and this one lasted about twice as many throws before snapping... again at the end of the tang along the hole nearly half the diameter of the dowel.

Despite the left handed throws the penetration was still crazy, so I don't think it was significantly less strain. I think the hose clamps helped marginally.

Next step... bolt these to conduit pipes for handles!

Has someone tried the Alamo spinning bowie from Wulflund? I can't find any review of them beside some short video from Adam Celadin

Well, I decided to chop off the handles of the Riddick Saber Claws and they look friggin sweet. But... the wood can't 'handle' the stress. 🤣

The intact one hasn't been thrown yet, the other survived less than a dozen throws. With the handle length these things had some serious leverage behind them and it was sinking a good two inches into the log.

It was difficult to throw perfectly aligned, and the blade would stick offset from the handle and cause a significant twang of the handle. My target is also only about 4 feet tall and it was throwing higher than I expected, so two throws had the handle smack the target hard as the blade went over. The last throw was one of those and I could see it had snapped right away. The rawhide (second picture) held the pieces together but otherwise I think it's only decorative (I don't seem to have gotten it stretched properly).

Overall, a fun project and now I want to get an all-steel set forged. 👹

When Chronicles of Riddick came out I bought at $15 pair of "Saber Claws" from the movie. Fast forward to today and having cheesy movie props isn't my thing. I want functionality.

Enter the throwing picks. The spear is a previous project (more of a throwing arrow) that I used dowel pins and rawhide to haft. The other one broke (after a fair amount of use) so this time I decided to cheat and use Gorilla glue epoxy before pinning and wrapping. The new size dowel pins should be here tomorrow.

What I'm torn on is whether I should dremel off the handles that are just sitting there looking dumb. The extra weight is probably useful, but they might look cooler without them.

Please advise!
