THROWING RULES
-
Each member club may enter one contestant.
-
Each contestant will use his or her own knife.
-
All knives must be of woodsman or hunting type (single-edge with finger
guard) and have non-folding blades. They must not be homemade or manufactured
especially for throwing. The finger guard must not be bent backwards
or removed from the cutting edge side of the blade.
-
The target will be the same as required for axe throwing:
The target will be the end of a log or its equivalent, at least twenty
(20) inches in diameter, and have a bull’s eye three (3) inches
in diameter inscribed upon it. Two additional rings of nine (9) and
eighteen (18) inches in diameter, respectively, will also be inscribed
upon the target. The center of the target will be from three and one-half
(3-1/2) to four (4) feet above the ground, and the face will be plumb.
-
Contestants will be allowed three practice throws prior to the five
counted throws.
-
Each throw will be made from between two lines that will be five (5)
and ten (10) yards from the target. No point count will be given for
any throw in which the contestant steps over the line before[1] the
knife strikes the target.7. Points awarded will be the same as for
axe throwing: Point values will be: three (3) points for the inner
ring, two (2) points for the middle ring, and one (1) point for the
third ring. Hits on the line will count the higher point value.
-
The highest accumulated point score wins.
-
In case of a tie for first, second or third place, additional sets
of five throws will be allowed until the tie is broken. The losing
contestant in the tie-breaker will automatically gain the next lower
position.
- The target will be placed so that the sun is at the contestants’ back, if possible.
-
The target shall be made of green pine.
