Ive built knife throwing ranges in my garage in the past - I am a pretty good knife thrower/teacher - and the mindset among both is the same.

Knife on knife (all different knives, but hitting same target)

These are really old - but an idea of what throwing I do - but the movement philos is the same as the focus when doing kushu Kyudo meditation

Movement and Measure

the measure creates the form

Measure forms movement.

Neat!

My practices have been a slow, minor realizations of non-duality.

You ever read the Neko no Myojutsu, or the Tengu’s Sermon on the Martial Arts?

In the meantime, I have been working on archery in the context of internal martial arts (yijinjing principles). I have no idea what that will look like, but it will be interesting to find out.

Among my goals are being able to walk and shoot, and shoot from different postures.
