Trend sport axe throwing What exactly is axe throwing?

Hardly anyone today knows how to use an axe. Especially in the city it's an unfamiliar tool, as using an axe is basically no longer necessary. Nevertheless, it has become more common again recently – because axe throwing now exists as a leisure sport.

We give you the chance to bring an old tradition back to life:

  • You throw axes at damp poplar targets, which become soft from the moisture. This makes it easier for the axe to stick
  • The poplar targets are made up of five rings. Each line you hit stands for a point
  • So if you hit the outer circle, that's one point – the centre gets you five points
  • The distance to the target depends on the size of the axe. It varies from four to six metres
  • But be careful, because our axes are sharp

Safety is paramount Our precautions for the trend sport of axe throwing

At Rage Axe we offer different axes. Of course, safety is a top priority for us. That's why you should follow our rules, which we will explain to you at the start of your leisure activities near Darmstadt.

  • It goes without saying that no axe is thrown when someone is in the line of fire
  • Anyone who has drunk alcohol is excluded from axe throwing at Rage Axe, as the risk of accidents is too high
  • Before throwing, the axe should sit well in your hand. It must always be thrown straight ahead – deviations in other directions must be avoided

During the sport, throwers are constantly supervised by a specialist. They give a short introduction, show the throwing technique and later make sure the safety measures are followed at all times. No expert knowledge is needed to throw an axe – just come by and give it a try!

The right technique counts How to make the perfect throw

  • Before you start, place your hands on the handle. Just imagine you're holding a baseball bat. The blade of the axe points forward
  • Then pull the axe back behind your head, as if you wanted to throw a ball. Your upper body leans back
  • Now throw the axe forward with power and speed and release it when your arms are extended
  • Already had some practice? Now you can throw the axe one-handed. Bend your arm and aim at the target. Then swing the axe over your head. When your arm is fully extended horizontally, throw the axe in one smooth movement and let go

For you too Axe throwing – a sport for everyone?

As with archery or darts, in axe throwing you try to hit the centre of the target, the so-called bullseye. That makes it a bit like darts. You throw from a distance of four to six metres. An axe is of course a heavy tool. Nevertheless, concentration and care are needed more than strength when throwing. Finding the right technique can take a while, because it's tricky to make the steel blade really stick in the wood and not have the axe bounce off with the handle.

Even so, you can say that success comes quite quickly.
