Before you begin throwing your hatchet or
tomahawk, you'll need a good target. The best
target is cut rounds from a fallen tree piled
like a pyramid. The bigger the target, the easier
it will be to learn how to throw a hawk. The wood
should be soft so the blade of the ax or tomahawk
can go through without difficulty and "stick" in
the logs, consequently older is quite often
better. To begin throwing tomahawks you should
find the starting place to toss from. From the
target, gauge around 13to 14 ft or about 5- 6
paces and make a line in the dirt

• From this range the tomahawk, hatchet, or ax
  should be undertaking 1 revolution till it gets
  to the mark. The space is determined by just how
  long the handle is. The very best tomahawk
  designed for throwing is one with a handle from
  16 - 20 inches, but it's easily possible to throw
  anything at all with the correct form. Smaller
  handles take a shorter time to do a revolution
  compared to a bigger handle. So begin a little
  closer for those who have a sorter handle. This
  is why the distance is dependent on the length of
  the tomahawk. So do not worry if you miss the
  very first few occasions it's going to take a
  wile to adjust to the correct range. tomahawk is
  an excellent resource for this.

• Tomahawks are incredibly simple to throw they're
  as simple as tossing a rock or stick. To begin,
  take a step back from the line. Support the
  handle at the very end so that the bottom of your
  hand is flush with the base of the tomahawk
  handle. Then take the tomahawk or hatchet up to
  the side of your head, swing forward, as if you
  are about to pitch a ball, in unison taking a
  step forward with the other foot so it lands on
  the line. While swinging your arm forward, keep
  your wrist locked strait and then release the
  handle letting it glide smoothly from your hand
  follow trough with your arm while still keeping
  your wrist locked. It's not essential to throw
  with a lot of power before you have mastered the
  art. hatchet is one of the authority sites on
  this topic.

• When tossing the tomahawk, if you flick your
  wrist in any way rather than keep it strait, the
  hawk will over rotate and not stick in the
  target. If you find that you cannot stick the
  tomahawk or axe after a couple of tries, make
  sure you are keeping your wrist locked. With luck
  and a lot of practice you can place it each and
  every time like a pro. Remember that a tomahawk,
  axe, machete,or hatchet isn't a toy and should be
  treated with respect because it's a deadly
  weapon. Be safe enjoy yourself.
