Which is why tomahawk throwing is a controlled activity taking place in a controlled environment. But are the axes you throw heavy?

This Yorkshire team will show you how to throw your axe safely starting with the 'handshake' grip on the hatchet handle holding it at the side of your body before lifting it up & behind your head to then bend your elbow & release forwards. What's quite impressive is the way the axe spins through the air. With any luck you'll be hearing the distinct 'thud' sound as the head sticks fast into the grains of the wood. Success! You're now a fully fledged axe-thrower. What then follows is a session of challenges & games (burst the balloon the double-header throw & so on) before a final competition to set the unlucky lobbers from the axe throwing aces. If you're looking for an outdoor activity with a difference axe throwing in Yorkshire has to be a great choice.
