So before this? It should be noted that Gabriel only had one knife, just the one he could switch back from its hiding prism form.

But he really, really wanted to stick it to Dean, too. It's kind of fun, toying with him. So he raided the armory the other day and took a few bronze throwing knives out, just for the sake of the competition.

Gabriel approaches the target with little finesse, just pulling out the daggers one by one. He's not using his favorite knife for this - doesn't want anything to happen to it if it leaves his hand. One after another, he smirks and chucks them at the board. The first few don't land near the center, of course - he's not blessed with this sort of aim - but he starts warming up, and even though he doesn't hit the bulls-eye, they get pretty close to it by the end.
