![How to Build an Axe Throwing Target - Basic DIY Build [Feat. CoPilot Designs]](/img/n.gif)
Great job, I just finished building my first axe target today !
Awesome build !
Thank u thank u thank u!!! Can't w8 2 build 1. I tried axe throwing a week ago and that's all I can think about now.
That's awesome! Gonna build one
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.
Great help, Rascal! 😋
My sister and I are going to try ! Thank
Great video! I'm thinking about making one.
Yooo thats dope im gonna do it
100 dollars 10 months ago. That means today it would cost 400.
Thanks to Biden/Kamala's inflation.
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...
🤣🤣🤣 im sorry dude
Cool
Use cotton wood it’s the best for axe throwing I think
How do you replace the boards ?
Throwing axe.. i like..
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.
You should consider an end grain throwing target they last so much longer!
End grain is great for knives... axes, not so much.
Underhand!? Never saw that technique before.
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?
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.
What type of wood do we need?
Pine is readily available in most hardware stores, but it really doesn't make a good target. If you can get your hands on cottonwood or poplar, those both will last longer and easier to throw into them. Also, keep the targets wet. That helps them to last longer.
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
