Ax Throwing

[Manche757]

This has nothing to do with Jeeps but does anyone have experience with ax throwing?   Any advice on types of axes?   Any comments on target boards?

Soft wood cookies work best.

Balanced axes 🪓 👌 

 

2 ft for every rotation. 

Good fun. 👍

not plywood.     soft is better so the ax will easily stick.  at summer camp they used rounds cut from larger logs with a large backing of plywood so we didn't have to chase quite so many axes.  also acceptable are 2x4 or 2x6 ends glued together or even boards running top to bottom.  bonus points if you make a plan for replacing the center line easily (it gets the most abuse)
