Kiln dried pine is expensive these days plus it's harder to stick hatchets. Try 2x10 untreated poplar or cottonwood. In my case I made an endgrain target made of 6x6 blocks. Lasts longer than planks and in my case that's 2-4 boards per week with as much as I throw.
So if you have 5 10 inch boards and cut 24 inches for the back it only covers half of the board? Just wasted a 10ft piece listening to this 👀 need to cut the 2x6x8 50 inches wide to cover the back...
Yes, that’s what we plan to do. We haven’t replaced it yet, but it’s definitely ready. It took about 1 month of consistent throwing until there wasn’t much left of the bullseye.
Each board is screwed in from the back to hold in place, so just unscrew the screws in which ever board you want to replace, pop the board out, new board in, put screws back in to hold board
When you get good, you can destroy a board in about an hour. I go to the axe throwing places and I'll destroy the boards in an hour of being there. But, I throw a lot and I don't really take breaks either. I test different distances and force with the axes while there. I personally use tomahawks and knives at home. The last time I went, I put one of the axes through the board. I had to change axe throwing stations. If you throw a lot, look into an end grain throwing target. They take a bit more to build, but last a lot longer. Also wet the boards before you begin throwing, it makes them last a bit longer.

My sister and I are going to try ! Thank
Thanks for making the vid
Great help, Rascal! 😋
That's awesome! Gonna build one
Great video! I'm thinking about making one.
100 dollars 10 months ago. That means today it would cost 400.
Thanks to Biden/Kamala's inflation.

🤣🤣🤣 im sorry dude
I also got into Ax throwing since COVID. Building my target now! Are you using pine?
That's awesome, it's so much fun! Yes, we used the standard pressure treated pine boards from Lowe's.
How do you replace the boards ?
You should consider an end grain throwing target they last so much longer!
End grain is great for knives... axes, not so much.
Use cotton wood it’s the best for axe throwing I think
Yooo thats dope im gonna do it
Underhand!? Never saw that technique before.
Cool
Throwing axe.. i like..
Do you just replace the board when it gets too damaged? How long did it last?
I’d assume so, but curious to their response
Yes, that’s what we plan to do. We haven’t replaced it yet, but it’s definitely ready. It took about 1 month of consistent throwing until there wasn’t much left of the bullseye.
Brianne Foster is it easy to replace? Wouldn’t you have to build a whole new one feet and all?

Which axes did you buy?
Kobalt hatchets from Lowes. Not sure that they meet regulation for league throwing but they work for us!
Why do people put loud music over their instructions lol
