How to Throw an Axe: The 4 Essentials

We get it. Throwing the perfect “axe” and hitting the bull’s eye on the first attempt is tempting. Most beginners need to realize that perfect throwing is not an inherent talent. Pros have to practice it from the beginning.

So how do we practice my axe throw? Physics plays a major role in mastering the perfect throw. Although it seems like a very repetitive motion, there’s an easier way. It is well worth looking into. This is how to throw an axe.

Throwing Is a Skill

Your stance plays a major role in your axe throw. Have a consistent and repeatable stance between your body, target, and weapon. Your throwing distance is the first thing you should consider when deciding your stance. Pro-tip. Use a marker to guide you to the right place each time. Because throwing distance is one key control for the axe’s rotation, consistency is important. This will make it easier to determine which techniques must be modified to obtain reliable sticks.

If you’re in a left-foot forward stance, place your throwing arm and trailing feet to align with the target. Keep your chest up parallel to the target. With the help of your marker, ensure you face your target in front. The outer edge of your right shoulder should be aligned with the aim line. Move straight back and place your right (trailing) foot approximately 12-18 INS from the aim point. You can balance your left and right feet by leaning slightly forward. This stance will provide the best foundation to learn how the axe throwing bar works.

Executing the Throw

The time has come to let your body go smoothly and quickly in order to make one continuous motion. To do this:

• Place the axe behind your head.
• Hold your wrist and elbow tight and throw it straight up.
• Extend your arm and bring the axe parallel to the ground.

It would help if you did not flick your wrist while you released the axe. It would help to release the axe only when it is vertical, and your arms are straight ahead. Smooth follow-through is crucial for accurate and consistent throwing. Poor accuracy and unstable axe blade sticks will result from slowing down or stopping the throwing arms just before your axe releases.
