    the current format is way way too easy for trained throwers. they need to increase the distance, introduce categories such as double axe through, long axe throw, timed throw (like in Pistol) that'll make it into a real sport.

      As far as I'm aware it's a disqualification if a player throws an axe whilst somebody is "in the lane"...hence the expletive. The ref let it slide luckily for him.

    Why are they so close? I don’t understand what the fun would be. What’s enjoyable about an axe in general is going ham with it splitting logs… I would definitely want to extend the distance and increase the intensity. I can’t see this holding much interest once the axe bars and stuff run their course. If you increase the difficulty and physicality, maybe. Heck keep this even just add more impressive categories.
