How do you throw a tomahawk?

Answer 1

There are six basic steps to tomahawk throwing.

1. Measure about 13-14 ft from target

From the target, measure about 13 -14 ft or about 5 - 6 paces and make a line in the dirt. From this distance the tomahawk, hatchet, or ax will be doing one revolution till it reaches the target. The distance is determined by how long the handle is.

2. Make sure the tomahawk blade is pointing toward your target

This is a little more obvious but you never know.

3. Pitcher's position

Position your feet in the pitcher's position with the foot opposite your throwing arm forward.

4. Hold handle at base of tomahawk

Hold the handle near or at the base with the tomahawk blade at the top.

5. Straight back & straight forward

Bring the tomahawk straight back and throw straight forward aiming for your target.

6. Follow through

Follow through with your arm while still keeping your wrist locked.
