(RESULTS LISTED BELOW!!!) PKT 2001 Event Pacific Knife Throwers has been invited to run the Knife Throwing Events at the Wild West Arts Club International Convention and World Championships of the Western Arts on March 26, 27, 28, and 29, 2001!! This event will be held in Las Vegas, NV at the Tropicana Hotel. The WWAC encourages western dress as they work to preserve the western arena arts. You must be a WWAC member AND pay an event fee to attend this amazing 4 day event. The cost is around $150, but you will get much more than that in value. The events are widespread in a HUGE, 50,000 square foot convention facility. You can also take lessons in knife and tomahawk throwing from acknowledged masters of the arts. CONTEST EVENTS We will have several contest events (no additional charge for entry) including: - 12 ft single turn - 18 ft 2 turn (AKTA rules) - Speed Contest (Most sticks in a 16" target in 20 seconds - Distance Contest - 2 or 3 short-form contests And MORE! NEW CONTEST There has been a suggestion for a new contest that we are interested in trying: A Throwers Range event with teams of 2 throwers competing to complete their throws into several difficult targets in a race for time! The contest will involve throwing into playing cards, wooden posts and other small targets. This contest is for the most experienced thrower teams. The Las Vegas event draws hundreds of arena arts masters from all over the world and we are pleased to be a part of it. This is their 11th annual event. There will be thousands of dollars in prizes and what promises to be the largest knife tournament of all time! Hope to see you there!
