The first time I started axe throwing was in the middle of the woods camping with an old stump. It gave me a good perception of how close to stand for 1,2,3 rotations. I had a competitive thrower tell me once the key was the release and letting the weight of the axe to its job on the rotation. Ive seen a lot of beginners try to flick their wrist to rotate it when all you need all you need to do is pay attention to your release, when you get the hang of it don't rock your body use your shoulder and drive your elbow down kind of like doing a hulk hogan taunt 😂. I also usually point at the target when i release which is a trick i learned from darts. Think of your arm like a catapult.
Yes, I think the step helps beginners get their power, but once they have gained some experience and strength, I recommend standing still in order to throw more consistently.
This is how we teach new customers to throw the Big Estwing axe with 2 hands. I will be making videos about different techniques and different axes in the future!
I just watched a video where the expert said Not to take a step, and that its all in the arms, no need to use whole body for extra power. I guess everyone has a different way
It is a matter of preference. Generally speaking, eliminating the step leads to more accurate throwing because that is getting rid of a motion that can go wrong. From what I have seen, stepping at the beginning is easier to learn. Especially for those that do not have a lot of arm strength. I do not agree with overlapping the hands because that makes it hard to have a clean release. I prefer to hold it like a baseball bat with the more dominate hand on top. In the end, nothing is 100% in technique. I've seen some very strange throws that work for that one person, but I would never suggest it for someone else.
I tried axe throwing yesterday without knowing anything. I think I didn't have terrible technique, but almost all of them bounced off the targets. I think I make them rotate too many times - what might I be doing wrong?
Probably standing too far away take a step forward it should make a difference. Also, try holding the ax different ways and see which way you’re more comfortable with. Different throwing positions can give you better results for example try with 2 hands and then try with 1 hand.

Sorry for the poor audio quality. If you have a good mic suggestions, let us know!
I personally prefer to not step in. It helps me keep more focus on where I’m aiming!

Really amateur place. Not even properly made targets
