Politely decline the invitation.

It depends on your distance. Throwing from the tip is to afford you an extra half rotation so if you're at a throwing distance where you need a bit more rotation then throwing from the tip would be warranted.

That being said, due to safety standards in the World Knife Throwing League throwing we can only throw by the handle. But the rules are made so it naturally supports the distances one would need to do that.

Not yet but more importantly, don't confuse them the other way around or you're going to have a bad time when eating soup.

Honestly, it was not the career path I thought I would have, to be sure. While I've done some throwing as a kid/teen it wasn't until I saw an axe throwing venue pop up in the city I lived at the time was hiring that I got really into it.

After throwing a bit there something just clicked that I really enjoyed about the activity. It's super satisfying when you start landing bullseye and honestly it's an activity that anyone with a bit of strength in their arm can do.

As for making it a job, that was a LOT of work. Many many 60/80 hour weeks. I saw that the concept had some great potential but wasn't taken as far as it could go at the time. (since at the time the league only had a dozen or so locations) Thankfully there were very many other people who felt the same way who opened up their own venues and joined their local leagues. And many of them started in the industry and sport the same way, visited a venue, got hooked, and brought it back with them. It's those amazing passionate venue owners and league players that really helped push the sport to new heights.

I'd recommend the WKTL Highlander or the Blackhawk. They're both very forgiving in terms of nailing the rotation.
