@@MattCookOregon Planks do not make very good targets, especially pine. Pine generally doesn't stick well and chips a lot. When I'm practicing, I can go through a 2x10x4 in about 20 minutes. End grain targets are better, like a slice of a tree trunk, 6-8" thick. Keep it wet and it will be easier to stick and last much longer than planks.
As a coach I always say to grab the axe an the bottom every time. If you choke up, that's a different distance. By being at the bottom every time, you eliminate that variable. And then there's the wrist snap......... Ugh....\
Yea... stop teaching people to put the axe behind their head.. keep your wrist straight and go above your head.. teaching people that technique will get them hurt
Try shooting at a target with gun that's not a .22 or glock. It can be difficult. Does that invalidate your knife throwing? Can you not have fun throwing a knife now? Nope. It's not really comparable and it doesn't matter anyway if you're having fun. I'm wondering if you can throw an axe having said this at all though.
Not true at all. If you believe them you don't know axe throwing. WaTL also has WKTL for knife throwers. It's virtuallythe same variables, I promise you.
@@matthewbittenbender9191 the leagues are garbage and not true to the art form of throwing. No variables, same distance, same rotation. It doesn’t simulate a real life situation.
@@logankdavis27 lol! How many real life situations are we going to need a hatchet? I don't often take one into the bank with me on case it gets robbed and I don't believe that throwing one at a wild bear will stop it from mauling me. Any notion if throwing an axe in self defense is a movie fantasy. Now if you're talking trick shots, that's something else and you'd be right. But there is very little call for that like there is for trick shots in golf or pool. And in a "real life" situation I think I'd trust a champion thrower to hit the mark even at an off distance. I'm not champion but I can stick them them from 22 and 33 feet. It's physics.
