How to throw an axe

Your coach walks you through this on the lane. Here's the short version, outdoors, before you even pick up a hatchet.

1

Grip it right

Two hands on the handle, blade facing the target. Loose grip, relaxed shoulders. You're not choking it.

2

Square your stance

Feet shoulder-width apart, facing the target dead-on. Raise the axe straight overhead, elbows in.

3

One smooth swing

Rock forward, bring the axe overhead and through in one fluid motion. Let go at eye level. Don't muscle it.

4

Let it rotate

The axe does the work. A clean release lets it spin naturally and stick blade-first. Adjust your distance, not your effort.

Safety basics, every session: closed-toe shoes, stay behind the throw line until it's your turn, and a coach is on the lane with you the whole time. First throw to last.
