tomahawk throw

Hatchet tossing sport

A tomahawk throw is a technique for hurling a tomahawk or hatchet so it rotates end over end before the blade strikes the target.

The throw requires calculating distance so the rotation timing embeds the blade rather than the handle: She nailed the bullseye on her first tomahawk throw.

Tomahawk throwing has become a popular recreational activity at axe-throwing venues.
