As I previously mentioned, I am not doing it. I am trying to hash out any potential consequences. 

Ok . Just go indoors , make a cuppa and figure  the best way to make a target for your knife  throwing .

😏 I am getting the impression that either you can not help me, or you are right and it is not a big deal.

Your hobby is knife throwing at fly infested trees, you need help, but what you seek is not here.

[Dan Maynard]

I don't think there is much you can actively do to help the tree except leave it to get on with the natural damage limitation that it's already working on. It has, as they say, two chances.

Suppose you could go onto a forum and state how many flies you can kill by knife throwing. Now that would be impressive.😀

Hang on, hang on!

 

We’re missing the point here...

 

I would like to see the knives!

 

Even better, a short vid of the throwing! That’s some impressive distance esp if on target 🎯

That would be fun... My current record is a little past 29 ft. Ironically it is the same tree that is damaged that I managed to get.

 

As for the knives,  I could not get an actual picture, but these are the ones:

And some of these:

For those who are interested in knife throwing,

I can only get the large carbon steel ones to go far. I actually like the target someone posted earlier. I need to find some new stumps to cut a good tree target out of to get a soft throw.

 

My throwing secret for long distance is my under hand housespin technique, which is to throw underhand with the point of the knife pointing towards your wrist and the flat of the blade against your palm.  Using this technique, you have to get it to do a half spin rotation into a soft, large target.

 

Other than that, I usualy do housespin on planks, which is just a regular half spin by the knife blade. 

 

I even threw forks, kitchen knives, spoons, and corn cobbers, although the spoons had to go handle first.
