AXE THROWING 101
HOW TO GRIP AN AXE:
When you pick up and grip the axe, have a firm grip, similar to how you would grip a baseball bat. An important element to the grip is ensuring that the blade isn't rotated to the left or the right. It needs to be straight so when you release the axe, the trajectory is perfectly straight and will stick to the target.
BASIC AXE THROWING :
Step 1: Place both hands on the axe. Firm like you're holding a baseball bat. Make sure the blade is perfectly straight.
Step 2: Bring the axe back, over your head, similar to the motion of throwing a soccer ball over your head. Lean back.
Step 3: Bring the axe forward, in a fast motion and release with your arms extended forward.
ADVANCED AXE THROWING :
Step 1 :Visualize your target. Put one foot forward. Swing your arm down, to the side.
Step 2: When the axe passes your leg, bring it up quickly.
Step 3: When the axe is over your head, bring it forward like throwing a ball.
Step 4: When your arm is parallel to the ground, release the axe. To ensure proper release, let your arm follow through.
