We love throwing knives, that’s for sure, which is why we jumped at the chance to sponsor the first Louisiana State Throwing Knives and Tomahawk Championship. The event, which was held on May 14 and 15 in Arcadia, LA, featured some of the finest knife and tomahawk throwers in the South.
Thirteen throwers entered the competition, with seven in the men’s professional division, one in the women’s professional division, two in the amateur men’s division, two in the amateur’s women’s division and one in the junior division.
The results were as follows:
Men’s Professional Division:
1st place- “Red Bear”- Jim Day with a score of 141
2nd place-“Gator Tooth”- Wade Tucker with a score of 137
3rd place- “Old Dog”- Bob Pyle with a score of 135

How do you find out about more throwing knife competitions? I’m an expert knife thrower but do not know any connections to finding out about competitions and tournaments.

Awesome. I wish they had competitions like this where I’m from and I love that everyone wore traditional garb too.
