In recent times, most people prefer extreme entertainment. It allows them to experience adrenaline and have a good time while maintaining all safety precautions. A sport like throwing axe, which appeared as a harmless pastime for lumberjacks, but later became a great leisure activity for adult well-established people, is not to be ignored.
To join a particular team or independently go to such competitions, beginners need to follow a few tips that will allow them to turn their leisure time into an exciting adventure. We will talk about such features in our material.
Choosing an axe
First, beginners need a sharp axe. This tool is much safer, as it has a better chance of hitting the target without serious effort. You will not find such items in ordinary hardware stores: you must order them in advance from special suppliers who specialize in making throwing tools.
Creating a target
Targets consist of five closely placed 2×10-inch vertical wooden planks. To create the target, you should use stencils offered by various companies. Place the wooden stand and boards on them, and put the target on them using the stencils. Then you can perform the action by aiming directly at the “bullseye.” You can use this to practice before a serious game.
Safety
If you want to throw an axe, ensure that the venue is secure. Before performing the required action, you need to verify that there are no people or obstacles between the target and the thrower. The free radius should be six feet or more.

Position
If everything is safe, you should take a certain position. To throw an ax with both hands, it is important to stand directly on the bull’s-eye line at a distance of 12 feet or more. You can adjust the position depending on the rotation of the axis. If you throw with one hand, your shoulder should be aligned with the target about 12 feet away. However, beginners should practice throwing with both hands – this way the tool will reach its intended target faster.
Conclusions
Before you start the axe-throwing game, you need a little training. For this, you need to build targets, find axes, and apply the appropriate position for throwing the axe. Then, you can prepare for a serious game and play with a strong opponent. You can also use such tips to organize your game of throwing axes at targets, making leisure time fun. Thus, the old lumberjack game has turned into a natural extreme attraction.
