Practice Throwing Custom Spearhead from Germany

[@KowboyUSA]

I remember when you built the target and it looked fresh and new.

[@Xolette]

Haha, fresh no more! :) I need to build a new one!!

[@throwstar]

Your kindness in 2016 led me to this knifethrowing path. Ppl like you and The Great Throwdini have inspired “ThrowStar” thanks xollette ds

[@XoletteLife]

You're very welcome!!

[@squall604]

I have to say, you are the best dressed knife thrower. So fashionable, so awesome. Btw, your little one is so cute

[@Xolette]

Squall604 Aw, thanks! Good to hear from you, Squall!!

[@orbitalwig8333]

That was some insane spear throwing 0_o. I'm so glad that you keep safety in mind the way that you do. It's always important to visualize the outcome of the throw. Like making sure your dogs are out of the way.

[@lonstokesjr6278]

I love your videos I've been watching them for a couple of months now, I love knives and I just got my wife some throwing knives and have been practicing with them together. I have been showing her your videos too and it's helped a lot with learning how to throw

[@Xolette]

Sweet! Glad it's helped your wife! "A couple that throws together, stays together." Haha :)

[@AdamCeladin]

Love it Colette! Those first person shots are great! Your target must be in shock from those heavy impacts hehe :)) Looking forward for another video with spear ,))

[@Xolette]

Thanks, Adam! It's hard to throw a knife and hold the camera steady! You motivated me to get some spearhead throws in-- lots of fun. I hope I can do the actual spear some justice when I finally throw it!

[@Mastermind8908]

I was thinking the same thing about the target. Even if they're wood glued together and perma-clamped, I was waiting to see a block pop out.

[@NASPELTZ]

The first persons are hard that's what I do and is hard to throw a knife like that

[@kakela8083]

A filipina that throws knives, lol two of the main things that I love.

[@ZiggySt4rr]

My son watches our videos and he has been throwing knifes for around 2 months and he says you and Adam celadin are his inspirations

[@Xolette]

That's awesoome! Tell him to keep it up :)

[@Liquidcadmus]

cool, Ive never done the spin throw. but I never tried from a very long distance.

[@Allentox]

Awesome. I want one! ...and the spear too.

[@paullecouteur4427]

Love the slow motion throws Xolette

[@Xolette]

Thank you! It came out pretty smooth with my new point-and-shoot camera. Very happy with it.

[@baliocelot2537]

Excellent. That's a wicked looking spear head.

[@Xolette]

Thanks, Simon! Yeah, it definitely packs a punch when it connects with the target. :) Good to hear from you.

[@fatpenguin2765]

G'day Xolette. I know it hard to find time with your bundle of joy. If it possible could you do a video of a close up of how a no spin is leaving your hand. My no spin is just so inconsistent. Use the flying steel would be great as they my favourite. Thank you for your videos 😊

[@Xolette]

I'll try to in the near future! For now, check out the third video in this playlist I put together! kzbin.info/aero/PLXnp8Omn-So7Wd4W937YH4uZfuiJ4iB0P

[@thenighthiker150]

Very Cool Xolette!

[@MrSirCedrick]

Love your Videos SooOoo Much Colette! Nice throw with that Heavy Spearhead btw. :)

[@Xolette]

Pouria Yazdankhah Thanks, Pouria!

[@JSRLPadre]

Once you had your range dialed in, it was magic....

[@Xolette]

JSRL Padre I had to edit out some of my misses, but it did get easier! It was hard to get a consistent grip and throw with the spearhead.

[@JSRLPadre]

It's weirdly reassuring to know that even when dialed in, you're not perfect. Guess it makes me not as hard on myself when I chuck things at a target lol.

[@carderb6112]

Please return as soon as you get a break!! We all love watching your videos

[@Xolette]

Yes, I've been working on a video-- it's just me trying to get some practice in with my now-walking-toddler! Thank you!

[@carderb6112]

Xolette I look forward to the new video, by the way I think you are the coolest KZbinr because you actually do respond to your fans!

[@Lafage152]

Knife throwing first kids last....awesome!

[@Xolette]

Haha! :)

[@moonbear1st]

you know you are going up in the world when you get a mardy troll thumbing down lol, loved how the baby smiled for the camera you have a diva in the making, its mothers day in the uk today so happy mothers day x

[@Xolette]

moonbear Oh, didn't know they were on different days! Thanks!! I think it's really rare to get 0 thumbs down, so I'm happy that it's usually a tiny percentage....can't please everyone! One guy is subbed to me and kept threatening to unsubscribe if I didn't make better videos... I don't get it. Just don't watch if you know you'll hate it! :D Thanks, moonbear!

[@kylelam6038]

I wish I could do that

[@Xolette]

I'm sure you could! You can pretty much stick anything once you get the distance right.

[@cujol7157]

your AWSOME I luv ur vids nd ur pretty smile it's hard 2 make more vids when you got a baby and family

[@Xolette]

Yes! So true. I can't wait until she gets older so we can throw together! Thank you for your comment.

[@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

Looks like you got it, nice job!!

[@Xolette]

Yeah, not too easy, but I warmed up after awhile. Thanks, Bohemian!

[@patriotop1004]

outstanding throws!

[@Xolette]

Thank you!

[@emosmoshbride]

awesome! i love your videos 🌞

[@Xolette]

Thanks, SmoshBride! By the way, your KZbin handle reminds of this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJCpaZiZgr54frs

[@majed_alkal7a]

Awesome Welcome back. Xolette

[@Xolette]

Thanks, Majed! Always good to hear from you!

[@Diebulfrog79]

So cute!

[@Xolette]

:D

[@fatpenguin2765]

Oh the joy of parenthood😂

[@Xolette]

Yes! Very time-consuming. I miss the freedom... but love her to death!

[@HARMARSCH2]

Cool video, great job throwing the spearhead

[@sassquatch4001]

is there any benefits or disadvantages of paracording a throwing knife handle?

[@frankwagner3659]

It's kind of like a garden trowel, which are fun to practice throwing too! I have a question, not really on topic, but have you any idea where I could learn to wrap a bow staff? I have this iron bar from a bench press that is the perfect length for me, but it is a little rusty and I am hoping wrapping it in something will prevent the rust from rubbing off on me. I'm still looking around youtube and Google, but I think there must be a name for the process which I don't know, because I can't find anything so far. I know there are various ways to do it (simple wrap-around, criss-cross, etc.) and I guess I just don't really know what I'm doing. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

[@frankwagner3659]

Never mind, I just used some boxing hand wraps for now, seems to be doing the trick. Plus it was a great forearm workout, especially since I had to undo it all and get it right the 2nd time, but it seems to be holding up!

[@derwinbarton782]

your belt strap the one hold your knives and where did you get it

[@kevymoranski3887]

Rabbit poop is good. I put some in my sisters baked beans.

[@superduper1614]

You're not cool nor or you funny. why would you do that?

[@it_stony]

please post more if you can I love your videos and I would hate to see you leave

[@jeanbombeur239]

happy for you mom xolette lol and someone know cold steel gladius thrower? they are well?do you know better for similary price? thanks everybody sorry french if bad english ..

[@Schmunzel57]

I hope you get the spear to function, or you have new garden tools. The only measurement for the length of the pole I found was for hunting and that description was only about the safety. The pole should be so long that, with the end near your feed, you can barely reach the lowest sharp part with your extended hand. That is, to make it unlikely that you fall in your on weapon running down a hill.

[@Xolette]

Schmunzel57 I got the shaft on it... I think it's an okay size. The spear is about as tall as me. Hope to throw it soon now that my husband's back from his deployment!! Thanks again!!

[@Johndoe-rl1fn]

Hi Colette, I have the perfect point black widow throwing knives that are 8 inches. I can throw them at 5 feet with the no spin technique, but once I get farther they don't stick. Is it because the knives are too short? And also do you think I should buy the arrows by flying steel?

[@Xolette]

8 inch throwing knives can be harder to do with no spin (I prefer 10"), but if you find that they aren't sticking the farther you go back, just do an instinctive half spin throw. Hold by tbe blade side and let your index finger run down the side that's not sharp or just the flat of the knife. You can also try a military half spin which is letting your thumb run down the flat of the knife. You can also experiment with where you place your thumb or index finger to see if that will change how far you can throw. And yes, I recommend any knife by Flying Steel! You'll see a huge difference compared to commercial knives. Good luck!

[@Mastermind8908]

Do you by any chance watch Forged in Fire?

[@marclussier2042]

the ducks are coming!!!

[@ahmadabdullah7657]

Awesome video

[@Xolette]

Thank you, ahmad!

[@jamiesultana5789]

Anywhere were I can buy throwing knives in the uk

[@huntfishcreatehenrich4602]

My dog is always where I don't want him to be!

[@Xolette]

Haha, my dog Butters is like that when he knows food is around!

[@aidenhowe1455]

you should buy some perfect Point knives off amazon, ive had mine for over a year and a half now and they havent broken whatsoever and have very minimal wear.

[@JMLockpicking]

Nice... Dogs aren't in danger unless there is a water hose around ;o)

[@Xolette]

jmmurdy Haha, yes!! So true.

[@patricegarnierlobo25111967]

awesome video ! nice spear blade !! and your famous sweetie smile

[@Xolette]

Thank you, Patrice! Good to hear from you.

[@ElegantStrife]

How often do you have to change those square logs in your target? 'Cause I swear they have been the same for the last year or so!

[@ashtonweston2236]

could you do a video on making your target

[@bleachwithextravitamind9632]

Could you do some kunai videos only without the chain?

[@TheArchersTungsten]

It looks heavy after 4 meters , how much does it weigh?

[@slhines7]

Is it just me but are there flocks of geese flying overhead lol? Good ole Butters:)

[@Xolette]

Yes, Kansas is full of them especially when they fly home to roost at sunset. I love seeing them around, as opposed to where I lived in California that has barely any wildlife.

[@Mastermind8908]

After getting use to throwing that big spearhead, switching quickly back to knives would feel weird I'm sure. You might be able to double your throwing distance to 12m. See, weight training with a heavier weapon like a meat clever could have its benefits. (Jus' sayin') :)

[@Xolette]

Haha, possibly! I'm sure normal knife throwing will feel like a piece of cake after that spearhead. :D

[@azurewhitemusic9565]

Do you do throwing stars as well?? I'd totally watch throwing star videos! I'm personally starting a collection of throwing stars of all kinds, as well as other bladed projectile and melee weapons. Not really into firearms though :P

[@nothingnap]

Hey Xollete, can you make a video on parents who think bigger knives are more dangerous? Or just on all around knifethrowers with parents. Thanks!

[@Xolette]

Not sure what the content of that video would be, Nicolas. :) But in any case, I'm taking a break from KZbin for the meantime as I don't have the time to edit any of my footage (let alone, my home video footage!) With a 1-year-old, that means I keep adding more and more footage to my unedited-videos-collection. But thank you for the request!

[@nothingnap]

Xolette Yeah of course! And it would be like a video specifically why knife throwing can benefit and the right knives to get. Btw I love your beautiful child!💙💜💜💚💛💛💙💜

[@pyromancyglassart8975]

You throw with your right hand and lead with your left foot are you supposed to lead with the opposite foot you're throwing with?

[@XoletteLife]

Pyromancy Glass Art Pyromancy Glass Art It's whatever works best for you. But most people do what I do which is lead with the opposite foot from your throwing arm.

[@Adeptlyepic]

Nice throwing! It kind of looks like you're throwing a trowel!

[@Xolette]

Oh yeah! I used it as a shovel recently. Great for breaking up impacted dirt.

[@robertpippin3891]

That almost looks like a garden shovel, lol.

[@jeanbombeur239]

what region in usa? sun bright every video lol

[@wyattsimonson6696]

How heavy do you perfer your knives?

[@Xolette]

Wyatt Simonson I believe it's 0.7 oz per inch? I have the exact numbers in the description of my "Best Beginner Video". But, it's usually a 10 - 11" knife that's 5 - 6 mm thick.

[@wyattsimonson6696]

Xolette Ok, i was just wondering because I just got some SOG fling throwing knives

[@robertpippin3891]

I still can't stick my Perfect Point THUNDER BOLT knives.

[@Xolette]

5.5" knives are too small in my opinion. Try knives over 8", (12" is preferable for traditional throwing). To get your small ones to stick, you'd most likely have to stand pretty close to the target (also stand at an angle to avoid direct ricochets>). Figure out your half spin distance (it's probably somewhere between 1 m - 2 m from the target) and throw holding the blade. Watch my "How to Throw Knives like Clove" and "Teaching My Parents to Throw" for my information on traditional throwing.

[@archer4451]

Nice video :D

[@Xolette]

Thank you, Gaming Cat!

[@dimitritribble7924]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@HPG_Pacman]

How long till the next video

[@Xolette]

Awhile. I've had to cut out a lot of things that took time from my life (like KZbin, FB, and editing video) because my baby is taking more of my time. But I still have footage to edit for this channel-- it's just hard to get the freedom to spend several hours on editing. But hopefully I will soon.

[@dsmmike95]

When is the next video?

[@Xolette]

Not sure. My daughter is a handful and I can't really edit videos with her around and barely have any free time to do so as well. Hopefully soon though. I just need more time!

[@dsmmike95]

Xolette ok just checking making sure this channel did end. I know you have your other life/personal channel. well cant wait and best to you and the family

[@jonathanray7452]

She's like a real life tenten from Naruto

[@timothytkr6554]

you should do a butterfly knife video

[@wwerawvssmackdownwomensros1938]

can u do some axe throws I am an axe thrower and I would love 4 u to do some, plz and plus I am so happy you did this video it was great

[@Xolette]

wrestiling topic I don't really have an axe, but I know a guy that has some epic axe throwing videos. Look up "Turkey Club Knife Throwers"!

[@skyoot5224]

When will u make more vids?

[@Xolette]

Good question. :) My free time diminished once my baby got really good at crawling... so I'm not sure. The home videos I have of her are piling up on my computer, so once I get those all edited in my spare time, I'll be ready to make more videos!

[@dananjayachan]

cute

[@skyoot5224]

Make more vids i liv u plz dont stoppp😭😭😭

[@skyoot5224]

Luv

[@wo0d3n6]

The perfect wife doesn't exi- *watches video*

[@Xolette]

Haha :)

[@TheChineseStepbro]

When is she going back to KZbin

[@Xolette]

When she's older and I have a bit more time. Right now, it's hard to even find the time to edit!

[@TheChineseStepbro]

Xolette understandable

[@dameem2653]

vid?

[@Xolette]

When I get a chance! I'm still waiting for good weather and the spare time... plus my "babysitter" so I can have some uninterrupted time to throw that spear!

[@kevymoranski3887]

Put a Kevlar coat on the dog and see if you can hit him.

[@MisterVest]

more slo-motion!

[@Xolette]

I'll try to in the near future! For now, check out the third video in this playlist I put together! kzbin.info/aero/PLXnp8Omn-So7Wd4W937YH4uZfuiJ4iB0P

[@gadiantonx8474]

[@Xolette]

Gadianton x I got a shaft on it... not sure about an atlatl though! :D

[@LordRa777]

just to let you know you are missed on KZbin. 😊

[@Xolette]

Max Power Aw! I feel guilty for not being able to post more often, but my daughter has become more mobile, so I have less free time. I'm either out and about with her, doing chores, or making sure she doesn't hurt herself crawling everywhere-- not much time for throwing, sadly, but hopefully I'll get to when I have the time for it. Thank you, Max for your comment!

[@livingamongvultures736]

[@greedsin555]

Ok who disliked this?

[@Xolette]

Greed Sin I know right so not cool

[@slimcobra9979]

make a new video!

[@Xolette]

My daughter is a handful and I can't really edit videos with her around and barely have any free time to do so as well. Hopefully soon though. I just need more time!

[@superduper1614]

what happened to this awesome lady. she stopped making videos. hmm maybe she is planning to make something new and really cool. or maybe she has joined a secret ninja squad and is off duty for the moment because she has to protect the world from the vampires that tend to come alive at night and sparkle during the day.

[@superduper1614]

ok I probably should shut up...
