What are the dimensions for hatchet throwing? ›

12 ft minimum/clear ceiling height (within the throwing lane) is recommended for safety reasons. It is recommended for a lane to be a minimum of 12ft in width with the targets evenly distributed. It is recommended for a lane to be a minimum of 15ft in length to accommodate for a 12ft fault line and safe space to throw.

You should be approximately 12 feet from the target; although, the Axepert may adjust your distance depending on the rotation of your axe. If you plan to throw an axe with one hand, line up your right shoulder and right foot with the bullseye (or left shoulder and left foot for southpaws) similar to throwing darts.

HATCHET DIMENSIONS THAT HAVE NOT CHANGED:

weight (1.5-2.5 lbs, total weight head and handle together) handle length (13"-17", from knob to eye) head length (5"- 7", entire length of the head from blade to butt) blade length (3"- 4", entire length of the blade from toe to heel)

Axe throwing is a sport in which the competitor throws an axe at a target, attempting to hit the bullseye as near as possible like that of the archery. Axe throwing is an event held in most lumberjack competitions.

Ideally the wood you use should be not too soft and not too hard. Softer wood allows for the axe to stick when you throw it, but too soft and your target will degrade quickly. Pine and spruce are both good options. Look for wood that is free of dark spots and knots, especially towards the center of your target.

Small hatchets are the main kind of axe used for axe throwing. They're easier to throw than most other axes types, making the activity enjoyable for beginners. The IATF requires this type of throwing axe and requires the hatchet to meet the following conditions: Material: The handle of the axe must be made from wood.

The length of the axe will vary depending on the manufacturer, but its best to start off with a longer handle so you can cut it down to adjust. A 17-inch handle is a good length to start off with simply because there is a lot of wiggle room to cut it down until it suits your throw style.

Having a variety of texture on the wood's surface, caused by deep to shallow knicks from a throwing axe, actually gives more places for the axe to land securely. Sheets or planks of wood should be, at minimum, 1 ½” thick to keep your axe from breaking through.
