Essentially
an axe is easier to throw than a knife because the heavy blade does
most all the work. It takes litttle effort to send an axe hurling
through the air with reasonable accuracy. A good sized throwing
hatchet should be about 12 to 14 inches in length (32-37 cm). To throw
the axe hold it firmly in your hand with a fist grip. Your stance is
important as it will add balance and consistency to your throw. Make
it wide enough to be stable and point the leg that coinsides with your
throwing arm twords the target. The momentum of the head of the axe
will carry it through the air. Remember that when you throw it.
Because of this the only motion in your throwing arm should be in your
elbow. You should release the axe when your arm is staight and aimed
at the target. You should spend alot of time aiming at short distances
and move your way back gradually over time. Remember this and don't
get frustrated when it seems hard at first. Just like anything this
takes practice.
