What exactly is axe throwing?
Hardly anyone knows how to use an axe today. It is an unknown tool, especially in the big city, because the use of an axe is basically no longer necessary. Nevertheless, it has become more common again recently – because axe throwing is now available as a recreational sport.
We give you the opportunity to revive an old tradition:
- You throw axes at damp poplar slices, which become soft due to the moisture. This makes it easier for the axe to get stuck
- The poplar disks are made up of five rings. Each line you hit represents a point
- If you hit the outer circle, you get one point, for the middle circle you get five points
- The distance to the target depends on the size of the axe. The distance varies from four to six meters
- But be careful, because our axes are sharp
Our precautionary measures for the trend sport of axe throwing
At Rage Axe we offer various axes. It goes without saying that security is a high priority for us. Thereforeyou abide by our rules, which we you at the beginning of your leisure activities in Darmstadt will explain to you.
- It goes without saying, of course, that no axe is thrown when a fellow soldier is in the line of fire
- Anyone who has consumed alcohol is excluded from axe throwing at Rage Axe because the risk of accidents is too high
- Before throwing, the axe should lie comfortably in your hand. It must be thrown straight ahead, deviations in other directions must be prevented
During the sport, the throwers are constantly supervised by a specialist. He gives a short briefing, demonstrates the throwing technique and later ensures that the safety measures are adhered to at all times. No specialist knowledge is required to throw an axe – just come along and try it out!
How to make the perfect throw
- Before you start, place your hands on the handle. Just imagine you have a baseball bat in your hand. The blade of the axe points forwards
- Then pull the axe backwards, behind your head, as if you wanted to throw a ball. The upper body goes back
- Now throw the axe forward with strength and speed and release it when your arms are outstretched
- Do you already have a little practice? Now you can throw the axe with one hand. The arm is bent and the target is aimed at. The axe is then swung over the head. Once the arm is fully extended horizontally, throw the axe in a fluid motion and release it
Also for you
Axe throwing - a sport for everyone?
As with archery or darts, you also try to axe throwing the center of the target, the so-called bullseyeto meet. That makes it a bit like darts. It is thrown from a distance of four to six meters. An axe is of course a heavy tool. Nevertheless, throwing requires concentration and care rather than strength. Finding the right technique can take some time. This is because it is difficult to ensure that the steel disk really sticks in the wood and the axe does not bounce off the handle.
Nevertheless, it can be said that successes can be recorded quite quickly.
