Sad part is, I learned with that style of axe before being told that it is illegal, WATL axes have to have wooden handles

They are not illegal in WATL. IATF has the Wood handle rule. However most people prefer the wooden handles.

WATL actually sell steel and plastic handle axes. They don't disallow them.

I made a target and the axe only stuck twice out of 30 tries... I sharpened it, threw hard, any ideas?

@@MattCookOregon Planks do not make very good targets, especially pine. Pine generally doesn't stick well and chips a lot. When I'm practicing, I can go through a 2x10x4 in about 20 minutes. End grain targets are better, like a slice of a tree trunk, 6-8" thick. Keep it wet and it will be easier to stick and last much longer than planks.

13 ft. ish with that axe.

Holy Kill shot size haha

As a coach I always say to grab the axe an the bottom every time. If you choke up, that's a different distance. By being at the bottom every time, you eliminate that variable. And then there's the wrist snap......... Ugh....\

So the word "axe" refers to a hatchet in this sport?

@acrosvale6627

Hatchets are a type of ax. There are splitters, mauls, tamahawks, hatchets, camping etc. The word "ax" is just an umbrella term.

Just "axe" me about it!

Axe throwing is kind of a joke compared to knife throwing. Only one distance and one style to be the "world champ"

Try shooting at a target with gun that's not a .22 or glock. It can be difficult. Does that invalidate your knife throwing? Can you not have fun throwing a knife now? Nope. It's not really comparable and it doesn't matter anyway if you're having fun. I'm wondering if you can throw an axe having said this at all though.

@@logankdavis27 lol! How many real life situations are we going to need a hatchet? I don't often take one into the bank with me on case it gets robbed and I don't believe that throwing one at a wild bear will stop it from mauling me. Any notion if throwing an axe in self defense is a movie fantasy. Now if you're talking trick shots, that's something else and you'd be right. But there is very little call for that like there is for trick shots in golf or pool. And in a "real life" situation I think I'd trust a champion thrower to hit the mark even at an off distance. I'm not champion but I can stick them them from 22 and 33 feet. It's physics.
