Physical Culture at Gallowglass Manor

Took a throwing knife and sledgehammer out to my throwing target on Monday.

I warmed up with Farmer Burn's warm up set.

Then did a sledgehammer set borrowed once again from shovelglove.com. Between each part of the sledgehammer set I did five knife throws with both the right and left hand.
