Before you step up to the line and let loose your first throw, we’ll provide some tips and address some common misconceptions that may be holding you back from fully enjoying this unique activity.
Tips
Pay close attention to how the axe hits the board: If you’re struggling to land it, you may be adding rotation to the axe by flicking your wrists. At a distance of 12-15 feet, the axe will complete one full rotation from where you throw it to the target.
If the axe doesn’t hit with the blade but instead with the top of the head, you may be too far and need to take a small step forward.
If the axe hits the target with the handle, you may be too close and need to take a small step back.
If you’re struggling with power: This may mean either you’re hitting the target with the blade of the axe but it’s not sticking, or you can’t make the axe reach the target. If this is the case, start about two feet behind where you normally would with your feet together instead of staggered.
When you go to throw- instead of rocking back and forth- you’re going to take a step forward with your dominant foot, engage your core, and forcefully drive your elbows down at the same time as the throw. This will give your throw significantly more power.
