Hey guys my kids want to start knife throwing what kind of target recommendation? I was thinking a slice of hardwood stump.
New to this so I don't have a clue what would be best.
Thanks

Get something softer, hardwood is tough on blades. Some 2-3" thick pine rounds. Find yourself a large diameter pine log and chainsaw off some slices. There is a tree service lot just west of Athens over in Bogart, free wood. They ALWAYS have large diameter pine logs out there.
 
Quite a while back my granddaughter took this up for about a week. If memory serves I cut a 2x4 into 3” pieces and glued them together so that the end grain composed the face of the target. May have been several 2x4’s .
I'm guessing that mine won't last too long either
 
Laminated 2x4 chunks to expose the end grain is essentially the same thing as a big pine round, just takes more work to get to the same place.

Frank75 Frank75 if you want me to look up the address of that tree service lot let me know, I drive by it all the time. They have a big banner on the fence facing the street reading "free firewood".
