[@ericjones2178]

Oh my god. Your moms a natural.

[@Xolette]

I know! She picked it up quick!

[@AdamCeladin]

They are aweeeesome !!! Great video Colette :)

[@Xolette]

+Adam Celadin Yeah, they are! And from this video you can see why I agree that females are way easier to teach knife throwing than males. :) Thanks, Adam!

[@austinpowers836]

What if your mom was a badass ninja back in her 20s and is just a bit rusty

[@eeeeric1966]

Your dad is a badass! :D

[@neferu6155]

I'm so immature I literally laugh every time a knife ricochets off the target XD don't get me started on your dads unique throwing style lmao this video was so fun to watch!

[@larryoswalt9185]

Your Mom and Dad are so cool! We need to see more of them. Tell them Ozzie said " Hey"!

[@Xolette]

Can do! :D

[@goldheartxx]

You're family is so happy and delightful, it's amazing.

[@Xolette]

Aw, thanks!!

[@fla5hbang732]

+Xolette where'd u get the bow? and what type is it?

[@FastActionBlades]

Excellent Xolette. I love it. I wish my parents and wife took an interest in throwing. I have thrown once or twice with my wife and it's fun. I have had a competition with my dad and that was fun too.

[@Xolette]

+FastActionBlades Yeah, my husband has only thrown with me when I told him he had to, like for those challenges. :) Some of us get addicted to that "thunk" sound. My mom is definitely one of us. I'd build her a target if she had the space for it!

[@FastActionBlades]

Xolette Awesome. Glad to hear your mom actually enjoys it. Your dad looked like he could care less. Your mom was excited about those sticks which was so awesome to see. I thought your husband was into it a little more but I guess not. Definitely do some videos on your moms progress if she continues to throw. That would be great.

[@AhnkoCheeOutdoors]

I was cracking up when Mom said "Oh puta!" @ 4:08 I have no doubt your dad knows how to handle a knife, I never met a Filipino from the old country who didn't.

[@shelbykingnfs7216]

I loved that. His throwing style was funny. I was giggling half the time. nice vid Xolette

[@Xolette]

+ShelbyKingNFS Haha! My dad's a funny guy!! :)

[@taifu13781]

I like your dad's style of throwing! XD

[@Xolette]

+taifu13781 Haha, I've never seen anyone throw like him! Glad you like his style!

[@GearShowAndTeller]

I love it! Both you and your mom are maganda!

[@Xolette]

+GearShowAndTeller Aw, salamat!!

[@thenighthiker150]

Hey Xolette, Thank Your Parents for The 8 Minutes of Laughs! That Was Hillarious!

[@Xolette]

+NightHiker72 Haha, I'll let them know! :)

[@cesalt2408]

I. LOVE. your parents. So cool! What a great time they had, and what a great, classic "home movie" you shared with us. Thank you!

[@Xolette]

No problem!

[@heat0mam]

you have beautiful parents

[@JerryMckelvey]

It's good to see you spending quality time with your parents, yall seem to have had a lot of fun together.

[@Xolette]

+Jerry Mckelvey Yeah! Better than going out to watch a movie. :)

[@MelonTroll314]

your dad is badass, he probably hasn't thrown in years and he's still better than a lot of people

[@browneye77]

That's awesome spending time throwing knives and shooting arrows with your parents! Maraming salamat po for sharing!

[@heavylead1961]

one hell of a teacher you are!!! oh yeah! that's right you were a teacher!! good JOB!!

[@Xolette]

+heavylead1961 Haha, thanks!

[@JustinoElArtista]

Fun parents are always a blessing! Looks like you all had a good time!

[@Xolette]

+JustinoElArtista Yes! We definitely had fun. I'm glad my parents were up for a session of throwing and archery!

[@lianakamori4156]

PERFECT!, I loved it so bad! You really nailed us this time Xolette, we totally love your parents they are awesome and such badasses at throwing, especially your mom, to be honest i wouldn't of taught her how to throw, imagine if she gets angry with you and Jon and then chases you all over the house with a throwing knife, evidence of this is when she says "I'm better than you Jon"! Even though that would be hilarious it's scary XD Thank you for presenting your parents to us all, they're so lovely, wouldn't mind to see them again and thanks for sharing another video!

[@Xolette]

+Lian Akamori Aw, thanks, Lian! Though, if my Mom tried to throw a knife at me, I'd catch it and say, "Try again." Haha. :P Always a pleasure to read your comments. And you even know how to spell my husband's name correctly!! :D

[@mateopavolini]

This video made me smile all the way through

[@TacticalPatriot-hd7hl]

Military half spin is my all time favorite throwing technique

[@Stugots666x]

Dad was gangster throwing ( and sticking) with one hand in his pocket!! Awsome. More parents videos!!!!

[@Xolette]

Haha, thanks! I'll see if I can in the future.

[@dakotaforemam5354]

This is so cool, and your mom with the bow is adorable.

[@Xolette]

+Dakota Foremam Agreed!! Haha.

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

Your Mom and Dad are naturally awesome.

[@Xolette]

+TwoFeatherChannel Thank you!

[@17Liberty76]

hey xolette. I enjoy your videos. I'm learning more about knife throwing and thought I'd pass along a fun challenge. it took me a few weeks, but I cut a matchstick in half (it was vertical) from 10ft away. I look forward to seeing more videos : )

[@soyboyproductions6870]

that's so cool spending time with your family

[@Xolette]

+Ninja Jaden :D

[@royal_wolf7485]

Wow! It's been years since I looked up knife throwing videos. I'm happy that you still make videos. I actually learned how to do a no spin throw from your video years ago :D. I wish I could do this with my parents. they get too nervous with blades lol

[@Xolette]

Really? You got to show them my mom throwing! Thanks for watching. It's hard right now to practice with my baby, but I'll be practicing a lot when she's old enough (because she's definitely going to be joining me!)

[@apriltrask4586]

I love your mom!! miss her

[@tavishpeters4529]

your so talented at what you do

[@Xolette]

+Tavish Peters Thank you!

[@swyft1872]

I need to get around to building a target like yours

[@fatpenguin2765]

Thanks Xolette. Your parents are adorable😄. Very much enjoyed this

[@Xolette]

+Paul G Aw, thanks, Paul!

[@GregYong]

Yo your dad was a G back in the day.

[@Xolette]

+GregYong Haha, yup!!

[@maggiew6200]

Loved this video. You're parents are funny and cool.

[@biggghawk]

Colette you look like your dad. That was a kick ass video you always seem to have so much fun with your parents, but then again you always seem happy when you're throwing. On another note I would hate to see you upset, you're deadly.

[@Xolette]

+BIGGG HAWK I've been told I look like my Dad since I was a kid! :) Thanks for watching! We had a lot of fun.

[@dangeralley2813]

That is awesome, It reminds me of my parental units.... I have been cracking a bull whip with my 78 year young Mother and riding a unicycle on my Dad's 80thr in Danger Alley.....

[@CCKent-cd9vd]

Hey, Nice 👍 throwing tips for beginners! Hey, your Mom & Dad are still Pup’s or young parents especially as they are throwing knifes! Hey Colette, sounds like you need to ask Dad some more questions because everyday is a gift! You are a patient teacher and it’s Kool your Mom and Dad are willing to try a new skill but sounds like Dad has some skills’ So thanks 🙏 again Colette, you got skills! CC

[@KonjiTV]

This video deserves more views and so does your channel! :) Keep up the good work, Xolette! Me and your fans here in the comments LOVE your videos!

[@Xolette]

+King Vendetta Aw, thank you, King Vendetta!!

[@KonjiTV]

+Xolette No Probs ☺

[@bloodborned3mon3]

I've been obsessed with knife throwing and Archery for four years now

[@jock2858]

Love how your dad did it! they both seem amazing. great video! :)

[@Xolette]

+Joakim Fant Haha, his style is unique! Thank you, Joakim!

[@paullecouteur4427]

Xolette... take some candle wax and rub the field point threads of your arrows in the wax (or use string wax). This will act like a sort of "Loc-Tite" and keep your field points from loosening (I could hear it in the video...you can hear a difference in the impact sound). If the nocks are plastic inserts... nothing you can do about that (you can try the wax on them too, but it may or may not work/help). If you permanently glue the nock in the arrow and it happens to break it then it will be a b%*^! to replace. GREAT grouping throws from your MA!!!!!

[@Xolette]

+Paul Lecouteur That's a great tip! Thanks, Paul! Some of the field points came loose so I had to retighten them... I'll have to try the string wax on the threads!

[@eeeeric1966]

You're an awesome teacher!

[@Xolette]

+Mr. Turtle Power (mako1966) Thank you!

[@MrD50boy]

I like how dad it at the complete opposite end of the yard when mom is throwing knives LOL!

[@rtapatu6868]

Hi there you have an awesome channel this is my favourite by far having mum and dad wow 😀awesomeness

[@Xolette]

Yeah! My mom was awesome!! And my Dad...does what he wants. :)

[@rtapatu6868]

[@Dementore6]

Awesome channel! Makes me want to start throwing now. Ever mess around with butterfly (balisong) knives?

[@rebeccajeanne679]

Your parents are awesome!

[@Xolette]

+RebeccaJeanne Lockburner Thanks!!

[@mongojerry72]

wow. You and your mom have the same bright smile and I think your dad is a secret ninja.

[@Xolette]

+mongojerry72 Haha! I guess I get my big smile from my Mom and ninjaness from my Dad. :D

[@therollingfruitbooter5079]

you are so funny and it looks like you have great parents!! You should make some videos with your mom to see her progress in knife throwing :)

[@brendanbush2174]

She looked so happy, this made my day.

[@brendanbush2174]

And apparently knife throwing is heredity?

[@Xolette]

+Brendan Bush Haha! Apparently! I hope my future child inherits that skill as well! :)

[@V3ND10L4]

Awesome! Fun times! Thanks!

[@ssrknivesandguns8741]

BIG SMILES!!!

[@Xolette]

+SSR KNIVES AND GUNS! Yeah!! :)

[@akmaistomods]

Just got my first throwing knives for my birthday! You inspire me :D

[@Xolette]

+Akmaisto Mods Wow!! Congrats!

[@Saintlawrence100]

that was great fun!!....thanks for the smile...tell your parents they are awesome!!...:O)

[@boyzen45]

Your dad already knew how to use a bow, he used to hunt tarsiers back in the day!

[@maddiesymonds6446]

This was so good thank you! I want to start but I don't know what an appropriate target would be, for your knife throwing what is the targets called?xxx

[@Xolette]

Maddie Symonds Soft Woods, like pine. You can make a flat board knife throwing target or an end grain target, or just get a log round. (I have videos of how to make the first 2 targets on my channel.) You can also tape up layers of cardboard for a quick target, but that won't last long...and if throwing spikes, you can use an archery target. Good luck!

[@maddiesymonds6446]

Oh my sorry I'm shook you replied to me😂😭 you are my inspiration, thank you so much for your help!!!xxx

[@basilgarrd]

I am a new fan of your videos and I must say you are incredible

[@Xolette]

+John Reagan Thank you!

[@Joshhwaah]

Your mom with the arrow is straight up me LOL. Also reminded me of Arrow. Love that show haha xD

[@Xolette]

+Oh my Josh Haha! Yeah, I love Oliver Queen but wanted to get into archery after watching The Hunger Games (plus I spent a week on it in middle school).

[@Joshhwaah]

+Xolette haha! Xolette Everdeen 😎🤘🏻

[@burgesskj]

Your dad's a natural. Figures that your mother is a lefty.You see, I suggested something that would be useful for you with her too. ;-)

[@dhuveshseeraj3678]

you have the best parent in the world

[@mindflow2468]

Hello +Xolette I was wondering if you could make a review on the flying steel talisman formerly known as the everyman. as I am a begginer knife thrower I am looking for a cheap but good knife the only problem is I could not find any reviews of the knife on youtube so I think it would be awesome if you could make a review of it. it would make my day

[@MegaBrandon808]

Wow your mom is a amazing at throwing knives

[@fish0703]

I would love to take knife throwing lessons from you

[@jasperjai5511]

Hi Xolette, I was wondering if you could do a review on the mini bo kri throwers I have a set but I can not throw them well. p.s. I love your videos!!!!!

[@moonbear1st]

you are deffo your mothers daughter as the saying goes when she was knife throwing and shouting with enjoyment it was like you was twins :)

[@Xolette]

+moonbear Haha! We are both definitely enthusiastic! :D

[@katiecopeland7558]

I've never tried archery or throwing knives, but I have a feeling your parents will be better than I will when I start😂

[@Xolette]

+Katie Kute Haha! Well you definitely have to try it to see! :)

[@itsthenumber1504]

Your parents are such bad asses!!

[@Xolette]

+Ethan Asbell Thanks! That makes me so proud!

[@carsonestep8217]

Could you do a video on how to increase no spin throwing like how much force needs to be put into it for farther targets like a tutorial

[@ozzyruler67]

Another awesome video!!

[@andrewsuarez6959]

Hi xolette I'm trying to build a end grain target but j don't know what kind of 2x4s to use for the target I would really like to know what wood you used plz thx.

[@xacezkillzx]

Hahaha I love how much they had fun with it.

[@donnys5945]

your parents seem like very nice people. hope all is well for you - take care

[@Xolette]

+Donny S They are! Thanks, Donny!

[@swiftsmile]

omg, a military half spin, I was wondering where my dad got the throw from since he has served, I was wondering what it was called, it makes SO much sense now knowing the name because the throw was the one he taught me, it makes sense that that's the throw he would know. also the throw is better up close, you just have to put a bit more spin into it, also, I only know half spins, whats a good throw for learning how to do a full spin?

[@Xolette]

+Christian Turner Rotational throwing. Check out my video, "How to Throw like Clove".

[@tavishpeters4529]

thanks for the advice

[@Me-mr6sv]

Pops in the background, Do it right handed baby lol, funny

[@maxhanberg7280]

Hey xolette, I have been trying to find a competition to go to and I can't find any. Are there any websites you know of that show locations of competitions?

[@savageshrek3738]

4:52 savage mom. You can kinda hear her say, "I know".

[@sansishot748]

Could you do a video on throwing butter knives pls!

[@Xolette]

+Jon Mut16 I throw butter knives in my "Vertical vs. End Grain Target" video.

[@salottin]

That was great!

[@Xolette]

+Júlio Salotti Thanks, Julio!

[@HearGear]

Wow..i really like this.. you mom is totally awesome at this.. :D

[@theclinickg]

could you do a tip durability test on these? Id also like some new steels like cpm154 or s35vn. ive seen some cool aus6 ones too that im hesitant to buy though.

[@DeeCee-kq3gk]

you got my sub my fellow filipinos! mabuhay! love watching your vids Xolette! keep it up!

[@TherealElliot]

You have very cool parents :)

[@СергейСталк]

It is a pity that I did not have such a teacher!

[@Xolette]

Aw! :)

[@blakeduris2347]

This is amazing 👌🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Xolette]

+Blake Duris Thanks, Blake!

[@ambroisepare614]

Knife throwing runs in te family!

[@Diebulfrog79]

Beats lawn darts.

[@Siberius-]

Yea it does! I just did a bit of reading up on what that was lol. Although to be fair, if a bunch of kids where doing archery and knife throwing in the back yard, I'm sure there would be even more deaths lol. Not for kids! or silly people..

[@jacobgnech5187]

Siberius Wolf i started archery when i was 5

[@Siberius-]

Bl4ckknigh7 Gaming - I mean more like.. unsupervised get the kids together and lets play.. kind of thing. Or still supervised, but no proper safety pecautions in place. That's how you get dead kids, dammit lol. At least more than there would otherwise be.

[@Xolette]

I read your comment and saw this in the sidebar, interestingly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJCVf3yejdedf7M I believe kids should be supervised in such activities, but I think completely avoiding or being overly protective can be harmful in a different way. Just my opinion. :)

[@Siberius-]

Xolette - Awesome video, I agree that there should be some balance.. it's understandable that parents will be protective, but too much of that is harmful in ways.. which isn't an excuse for bad parenting! lol. Like kicking your kid's ass, or making them do hard labour and have no social life, then when they complain, the parents are like "OHH kids these days are too soft!". There's also a number of ways to bring out a potential mental illness in a kid with some of this stuff. With the knives, they were taught how to use them and how to view them.. so that's good, if they just went and played with knives, they would get a lot more injuries for sure lol. I think in most places with schooling and caring, they want to avoid law suits.. like the kid on the tree thing, could easily slip or the branch break and land on the spikey trunk and get a spike through his neck.. not sure what would happen then lol. But it essentially never happens anyway. I used to climb trees really high, and do speed climbing at the park where there's big cotton trees all woven together. Could of easily fallen but I didn't. But yea a healthy balance is good.. (subjective where that balance is, but as long as they get out and get dirty and hurt themselves, explore and learn). Just make sure they don't get a lawn dart through their head.

[@sy-1845]

Upload more! I like these videos!

[@Xolette]

+Evan Curtis Can do!

[@sy-1845]

+Xolette :D THANK YOU!!! I learned a lot of these videos! You deserve mor subscribers than this. Well at least you have one more. :)

[@eddy3355]

hey Xolette im looking to buy some good throwing spikes on a budget. Any suggestions?

[@francisfrancis4619]

wow your mom are good at throwing knives! hahaha!

[@Xolette]

+Francis Francis Thanks! I'll let her know!

[@warlojesserbelandres2896]

Hello Xollete! A challenge from your fans and supporters here from the Philippines, can you hit 2 to 3 targets at once? Like for example, 3-knives, 3-targets, in 1-throw. We hope that you could give it a chance to try it out and upload it here. God bless and more power to you! You're a Filipino pride. :D

[@Xolette]

+Warlo Jesser Belandres Thanks for the request! I am busy though... after my Challenge from Hell video, I need to take a break from challenges and focus on editing the videos I already filmed, doing a few throwing knife reviews, not to mention, I moved recently, so my backyard and target are not ready for throwing. Jason has done your challenge though, and you can check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYrVqpyjas-fj7c

[@warlojesserbelandres2896]

Wow, that sounds a lot of things to do there! We wish that we could give you a hand over there :) hehe Jason did an excellent accuracy on this video. However, Jason did hit the 2 targets in one location but what we meant is to hit 3 or 2 targets from different locations. Something like, one target from the 10 o'clock location, another from the 12 o'clock, and another one from the 2 o'clock with just one throw (2-3 knives). Do you think that you can do something like that for us? Sounds kinda' difficult but we believe that you could do it :) Hope to see this challenge from you soon ^_^

[@Gamerdude535]

Lol it made me cringe every time an arrow hit the fence XD. Thank goodness for how strong carbon arrows often are. Also definitely teach your mom the mongolian thumb draw for next time she shoots your bow (easier to shoot an opposite hand bow that way). Your parents are just so darn adorable!

[@Xolette]

+gamerdude535 I'm happy none of them broke as well! :) I'll have to look up that thumb draw! Thanks!!

[@majed_alkal7a]

fantastic throwers family :)

[@Xolette]

+Majed Alkalha Aw, thanks, Majed!!

[@wesbrown3831]

Your parents are so cute... your moms delight is uplifting... you can teach old dawgs! (You know what I mean) LOL!

[@Xolette]

Thanks, Wes!

[@MultiEric08]

Is your family from the Philippines, if yes, my family from there to, I got throwing knives to. Can you review the shinobi never miss three set throwing knives

[@Xolette]

+eric asencio Don't have that set. Check my video, "Best Beginner Throwing Knives" and read the description. It gives an answer to your type of question. And yes, my family's from the Philippines!

[@roysmith7087]

Proud parents day when their daughter can protect herself and defend her family like that and can totally back up her husband in the off chance he might need assistance in defense of home and family.

[@Xolette]

Haha, he'll need to back me up instead! :D

[@goyslayer5505]

Do the knife throw from the end of the last campaign mission from cod mw2 where soap throws the knife at Shepard

[@JustPoptarts_]

I'm good at archery but what are these knifes. I like them

[@snipes3234]

lolo and lola are pretty good!

[@Xolette]

+Snipes 32 Haha, yes they are! :)
