    WATL rocks!!! They are the founding father's of axe throwing and have influenced us so much. Our channel follows an axe throwing league for beginners through their first tournament. It may not be WATL pros, but it's a heck of a lot of fun.

      Dave Franklin Hahahaha. That’s me! The crack smoker! 🤗😂 My original comment implies I could handle one intruder with an axe. You’re arguing multiple people coming at me with guns. Yes. In THAT case, my axes would be useful for one or two, perhaps. Then I would be using my .22 and my .45. I also have four guard dogs, an alarm system, and security locks and doors. I’m gonna have time to get my shit together before four people are coming at me.

      Dave Franklin nooooooo. Really?!?! I thought you were implying I REALLY smoked crack. 🤔 Lol!!!! I know what it means.........and thanks for the life lessons! I’m very aware of what usually happens with home invasion. I live in a town where it’s happening constantly. I pay attention. Hence the dogs, security, and multiple defense items. 😊 All we can do is pray it never happens to us, right?

      Except that doesn't always work. The axe has to be able to finish a half, or full rotation. Moving back or forward 6" can make a difference between a perfect throw, and your axe lying on the floor

      @@scotthansenmtbt4110 That depends. Why are you following a 'World' competition if you disregard the [debatable, in this case,] opinions of those from other nations ?
      Perhaps don't divulge where you're from ... most people in most countries don't like being thought xenophobic by association with their minority of ignorant countryfolk.

      Only certain of those I think you mean are the ones that are badly designed such that they look daft. A decent one that's made well and hangs right when worn right [and is your correct length] doesn't come cheap but they do exist and certainly the reaction I've had wearing a heavy leather well designed one, from Scots women who've expressed an opinion, hasn't been being laughed at. I've certainly ended up wearing lipstick, where it's supposed to go on a man, as a result of such opinion being demonstrated though.
      I've never been laughed at by any Scots man either, but then, they would likely have extrapolated the potential perks.
      Greetings, from Scotland.

      Estwing axes are a bit on the heavier side being all metal. But they throw well and take a insane beating.. after a while the handle gets sketchy but nothing some tape can't handle.

      Yes, but lot of throwers like the all steel Estwing style hand axe, for its durability. See how much vibration goes through that handle when they stick? It can be really rough on a wood haft.
      Edit: The clubs like the all steel axe too (for durability), and because that's how alot of people learn, it is what they stick with.
