throwing axes

Tossed blade sport

Throwing axes are small, weighted hatchets designed to be hurled at targets.

The sport of axe throwing has grown from lumberjack competitions into a recreational activity with dedicated venues: We went to a throwing axes bar for her birthday.

Historically, throwing axes served as weapons, but modern use is almost entirely recreational.
