Axe throwing for fun and competition

[oneeye]

We had an axe throwing competition at our Minnesota Tradional Archery Rendezvous last weekend. A guy who was throwing for the first time in his life beat out several very accomplished throwers to win the whole thing. Good fun!

Axe throwing is my fav activity with friends

Imagine what would happen if the wrong gun managed to talk to those axes.
The amount of people that would die, especially with all that booze!!!
Can't believe we haven't outlawed this to save lives.........

I was thinking this would be a fad, try it once but never again … but seems to be repeat customers

The funniest thing / irony where we go is it's BYOB...no glass bottles allowed.

I threw one at my wife one time. She deflected it and scored with a frying pan

Sounds like a fun date night. Gonna axe my wife if she wants to go.

We use to get together our mountain man buddy and throw the tomahawk.
It was a lot of fun.

A good friend of mine owns an axe throwing venue in Ft. Worth. It’s fun but a ain’t worth a darn at it.

Which one is it? A group of us from work went to one last week. It was a blast.

This post is right on time, as I have been wanting to set up a target for casual knife and axe throwing for years. With the addition of a cabin in the woods on my place I am definitely ready to do this!

Any tips on target set up and economic weapon purchase would be welcomed. I am thinking that I would prefer to stay with an all metal design for durability.

I use doubled-up pine 2x12's for the target face and two 2x4 for legs - lean it against a tree.

You can get a throwing Tomahawk from Midway, Cabelas, etc for about $35 and Academy sells throwing knives.

With a cut-off wheel and a file you can make knives out of old mower blades or the dimensional steel sold at Home Depot & Lowes.

A big/heavy slot screw-driver makes a decent thrower too - just about any heavy-bladed knife will work but don't expect the handle to hold up long.

One recently opened here in Seguine---"The Texas AxeHoles" I think it is called. One the south side access road of I-10 east side of Hwy 46.

Throwing axes activity is like a therapy for me. Perfect to get rid of annoying thoughts or anger. I did couple of times in a different places and at the moment even thinking for doing that at home. Of course i need to organize a safe place for such an activity an order a good axe. Just need to think how i can make it unreachable for the kids, cause not sure that mine are ready to play this kind of game.

Do the stumps/targets have Biden, Pelosi, or Harris pics on them?
