that would not feel good in your
eye

This is not the right way to throw a Hira Shuriken. This would never work on real Shurikens. What Shuriken is this supposed to emulate? A Togakure Senban? God, I really hate wannabe ninjas that don't know a thing about real ninja, their history & weapons.

well i tried to be as acurate as posible and acording to wikipedia theese are techniqly hira shuriken i dont no the corect way to throw but i will look it up later and try to corect it i also specified that it this is specificly for the nail throwing stars made by icemachete i will also look up exactully what type of shuriken this is. i am sorry for the inacuricys and will fix them as soon as posible. P.S. im not a wannabe ninja anymore i am trying to study up on my ninja facts and make this and all future ninja related instructables as acurite as posible (if you read my lengthy comment this far i thank you for enduring my blathering)

[Camisado]

Well, fair enough, sorry if I came off as rude, these things kinda tick me off because I study real ninja history and have real weapons. And your comment is not lengthy at all. I'm a regular at I'bles and I have read far more lengthier comments.

[naruto the ninja13]

do you study ninjas in school or just as a hobby?

[Camisado]

Of course as a hobby... look kid, ninja schools - like the one in Naruto, they don't exist, Ok? Naruto's a good show but Naruto fans who makes preposterous and stupid remarks like you are giving real Ninjutsu a bad name. Again, I don't mean to be rude, ninja wannabes just really tick me off.

Oh, and in case you're not getting this into your head, I'll say it: You're not a ninja. I'm not a ninja. No one is a ninja. Real ninja were all killed a long time ago and the only one who knows their secrets is sensei Masaaki Hatsumi of Bujinkan, and even he's not a ninja.

nah i didnt mean ninja school i ment did you like take a social studies or history or something class on ninjas at regular people school not ninja school lol (sorry for responding to a half year old comment but i didnt read this till now)

[DJ Radio]

No, he's asking if you studied about ninjas in school, or just as a hobby in your free time.  Not if you go to ninja school.

my friend and me made a few on these and went into the woods near his house and threw them at a giant stump, i got to throwing them so powerful that the nail would come out when we tried to pull it out, i was getting to throw pretty accurate too, there is also quite a few ways to throw these. thing is tho, i moved to the city, which i hate, so i cant practice anywhere. it sucks....................

[naruto the ninja13]

wow i threw mine so i bounced of but when i looked at it the nail fell out... it keept bouncing off until i found out you need to throw them at softish wood lol
