Will come to some shows in 2015 and see if I can get in on this Axe throwing - sounds so up my street! Axe throwing competitions - AWSOME!!!!

Since I tried this at the Arb Fair North, I've really got the bug! Its a cheap sport to start out, only need an axe and a target. I bought a tomahawk at the show to practise with in the garden, set up a basic target and away we go:biggrin:

Anyone else do this? Even competing at a more "pro" level? Tips techniques etc.... discuss

First pic, Mr Bullman having a go at the show with doube-bit, 2nd pic a rudimentary practise target in the garden with the tomahawk, bull after a couple of warm up shots to get my eye in.

 

Hi Andy)Steve will we see AXE THROWING come back for APF SHOW FOR 2016 thanks Jon

Can a normal felling axe be used and is there a technique ??

Seem like something I'd be interested in

It looks well cool when you get a felling axe to stick in, but it doesn't happen very often!

You can probably throw any axe really, but like mark said it will be a lot harder. The key is standing at the right distance from the target. I watched a number of interesting techniques at our past event, none seemed particularly better than the other really.

What about a double axe head at each end of the shaft?

Did you see this?

Not sure, why don't you make one and tell us how it goes?
