Arbtalk Axe-Throwers

[Steve Bullman]

but from i throwing perspective, i guess its personal preference then?

 

do you reckon both types will be at the APF?

 

Gransfors most definetly...oschenkopf less likely

[Steve Bullman]

I might also look at selling the bracket for the target, I think most people will be able to source the rest of the parts.

 

I mentioned this to Andy at the show as it happens. I think most people would just fabricate one themselves rather than pay for one...you'd have to look at charging about £120 for one I reckon.

Hey guys, was looking for the axe throwing on Saturday at Shipbourne - could not find it, were you rained off, ended up doing the three peaks tree climb a few time to help raise money for help the heroes. Still a good day but just wondered of the ax throwing happened on the Friday instead?

[Wolfie]

It was there on the Saturday in the far corner of the show next to Peter with the Protippers.

You have to look for the Arbtalk gazebo or listen for the sound of the thud as the axe hits ......the ground.

[Jonesie]

It was there until the end, in the far left corner.

 

Glad you did the Help For Heros climb.

My gransfors has arrived!

 

I had all the bits waiting to put my target together planning to do it saturday, but i couldn't wait.

 

Bring on the Arbtalk Axe throwing:thumbup1:

Why did you choose the Gransfors Dan?

 

Did you lob them both on the Friday?

[Dan Curtis]

I'd tried Steve's oschenkopf, which is lovely, but went for the Gransfors as it's a brand I know and trust.

 

Just got to work out the best target material. I'm limited to pine until I go to see a mate with a BIG woodyard next week.

 

The pine is ok but it's a bit knotty, which seems to impede sticking

[Steve Bullman]

Poplar works well Dan

[Dan Curtis]

Is that what you had at the AA show? Hopefully be able to get a nice piece of that.

 

Other option is mega sized cedar, any thoughts?
