A success in a new endeavor

[draconis]

A few of you know that for the last few years, I have taken up knife throwing as a hobby. In the last few weeks, I have started working on learning a new type of throwing known as BIM (Boost In Momentum) style. There is an online group that teaches this, and has a formal curriculum drawn up that I have begun following.

To complete the first stage, you send a video of yourself using their technique to complete 15 consecutive successful throws, thankfully at very short range.

I am happy to say that today, after a few weeks of practice, I was able to complete the first stage! :-) I didn't QUITE do a happy-dance with that 15th throw sank into the target, but it wasn't far off!

Very cool! That sounds like fun.

Thanks -- Yeah, it's a much more challenging technique than I've used before, so it's not without it's frustrations, but I'm enjoying it. 8-)

Thank you. This is just a first step, but I'm enjoying it.

Thanks! Long way to go yet before I have this one at a "usable" level, but I'm enjoying the journey. :-)
