axe throwing tips

STEP 1

Firmly place both hands on the axe (like you are 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.
