-
Carl Geddes - San Diego, CA (Tierrasanta area)Home: 858-268-5890 "I started throwing late in the year 2000. I began throwing as a way to relax from my work. I throw knives and hawks mostly with a few other "pointy" things thrown in to make it interesting. Anyone who lives in, or visits the area is welcome to come by and throw." 
-

Daniel P. Clark - (aka "The Shiv")San Diego, CA "I’m a member of the San Diego Chuckers. I throw both competitively and just for fun. And I throw everything; knives, hawks, stars, axes, nails, tent stakes... everything! I enjoy throwing with new people, but I’m not a good teacher. I recently turned my garage into an indoor throwing studio. Send me an e-mail if you want to play."

I host an annual event called the "Westcoast Masters" (aka "The HURLATHON") at my rural property in N. CA. I'm fairly good at teaching folks how to throw things as well. Stop by or email me! (Pic is me after I won 1st Place at the 1998 International Knife Throwing Tournament" 
-
"Paris" - Long Beach, CA"Hey fellow "throwing freaks"! I'm a wanna be! I have thrown a time or two, but stopped and now wanna get on with the pointy stuff. I want to pin point a "freaky club" to throw knives, hatchets and such with. Anyone around Long Beach, California?" 
-
John Fleshman - Crescent City, CA"I've been throwing knives and other stuff for ten or fifteen years but I'm just starting to get semi accurate. The pic is me and my Gil Hibben knives. The newsletter rocks. Keep up the good work!"
- Robert Rykowski - Los Angeles, CA"Just started throwing and want to hook up with some throwers in my area and have a good time. I go to school at Long Beach State University and I live in an apartment so my "range" is my 15ft hallway... if anyone wants a throwing partner by all means email me!"

-
Shelby Bond - Los Angeles, CA"I've been throwing stars since I was a kid but I'm just getting more into knife throwing and would like to work on an act eventually. I love many western arts and can't wait to get tomahawks soon. I'd love to get an LA group together and help each other improve."

-
Jason - Desert Hot Springs, CA"I've been throwing steel for about two years seriously. I can throw ten yards away with great accuracy.

Anyway, I have some friends that are very novice and would appreciate a visit by any throwers coming thru this area!"
-
Peggy Mullenfeld - Santa Ana, CA"I've been throwing for a couple years now. I dont know if I am any good but I throw better then any one I know, (because nobody else throws :-) I wonder how many ladies take up knife throwing instead of knitting?"
-
Ryder Keenum - Frazier Park, CA"I've been throwing since I was six (about 21 years). My father taught me how to throw knives, hawks, bolas, spears, throwing sticks, spikes, basically anything I could get my hands on. The first time someone tossed me a baseball I was very confused, until my father instantly solved my dilema. He yelled over to me, "just throw it like a knife"!
