Thread: Throwing with the nephews ....

I never got serious about it, but I used to throw knives, hatchet, and double sided axes. There used to be some traditionals clubs around here, in the late 80s.

And we still have the " Log Cabin Shop" in Lodi, Ohio.
Its a all primitive shop, black powder only. They have meets throughout the year. Lots of cool stuff from days gone by. They even have a small museum of black powder weapons, and tools for making the rifling in the barrels, and such.

I should add that if you find 6 paces is the range that the hatchet takes to do a full turn start from there. Then at 9 turn the blade backwards and it will do 1.5 revolutions to the target and land "upside down". 12 would be 2 turns. This is where the distance judging comes in.

With my hatchet I am closer to 7 paces to begin with.

Been throwing hawks from 12-14 paces ...2 revolutions. Check out “ Beaver Bills Forging “ got some hawks from him too. Knives not so much from that distance

axe throwing is pretty popular up here, there are clubs all over the place now. I've only been once, while visiting a friend in Ottawa a couple years ago, but it was an absolute blast.

I’ve been throwing since the ‘80’s.....it’s always fun

One day when I get back up to that area, we need to go there!
