Enjoying no spin
knife throwing so much at the moment, that I got myself throwing spikes for indoors...

... Manix does not get thrown, but is in my pocket.
Throwing spikes??!! I'm gonna have to look into those! We've been having a lot of fun throwing hatchets and the Spyderthrowers lately.
Definitely get some! They are fun for shorter distances and actually pretty cheap too (don´t know the choices in the US, but I purchased these ones

Though as far as I can recall you and your husband do full spin throwing, right?
I prefer "no" spin anyway (actually more "quarter spin", but the point is, that the point (pun intended

) is always facing forward, so the
knife does not rotate) - and I think perhaps the spikes are perhaps generally better suited for that technique
I did not find much in how to throw spikes no spin, but this video shows it pretty well:

Starting at 0:30 already the lady throws some spikes, and you can see that they don´t actually fully rotate, but just fly in an arch, tip always facing forward.
At about 2:45 she tries a longer distance: Again, no full rotation.
Another good thing with spikes: They are really easy to take with you and bring anywhere, for spontanous throwing (not only indoors)
EDIT: Just saw: At about 4:00 in the vid the differences between no spin and rotational throwing gets explained
