How To Throw An Axe Two Handed. We call this the beginner throw because it allows you to have more control of your axe. Most people start off with this basic throw:
Simply grip your axe with both hands and raise the axe straight over your head. Holding the hatchet securely near the end of the handle, raise it above and behind your head with two hands. If you want to practice at home then make sure you put up the target around 15 feet away, and close the distance as necessary.
Hold the axe with two hands, dominate hand on the axe, supporting hand around your knuckles, without touching the handle.
Dominant hand on top, both hands toward bottom of axe handle. With the axe at 90 degrees, lean in towards the bullseye, arms stretched out fully extended, with no bend in your elbows. Keep your eyes level with your target on the board while keeping your arms straight. With one hand, grip the axe at the bottom of the handle.
