I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A THROWER OF STUFF MY FOOD WHEN I WAS A BABY AND LATER ANYTHING I COULD GET MY HANDS ON. IN ELEMENTRY SCHOOL I SPECIALIZED IN STICKS (SPEARS OR THROWING STICK) AND WAS ESPECIALLY GOOD WITH ROCKS. I COULD USUALLY HIT ANYTHING I THREW AT FROM GROUND SQUIRRLS TO TREE SQURRILS, RABITS OR BIRDS. I ALSO GOT INTO TROUBBLE FOR INJURING OTHER KIDS IN ROCK FIGHTS. IN LATER YEARS I PRACTICED WITH CHEAP THROWING KNIVES AND THE ODD METAL SPIKE I COULD FIND. SO IT IS NO SUPRIZE THAT WHEN SURIKINS SHOWED UP I GOT SOME AND HAVE ENJOYED PRACTICING WITH THEM FOR MANY YEARS. I GOT FAIRLY GOOD IN THE LATE 1970'S AS I WAS WORKING ON AN OFFSHORE PLATFORM ON A SHIFT BY MYSELF SO IN 7 DAYS WORKING A 12 HOUR SHIFT I FOUND A LOT OF TIME TO PRACTICE. I HAVE A SELECTION OF THEM AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE IF I CAN GET THEM ALL TOGETHER I WILL TRY AND GET SOME PICTURES TO POST WHEN TIME ALLOWS.
