Very nice craftsmanship. I also love having the 2 levels of available quality. Quick and dirty for 100% functionality with minimal pricetag, and then full on smooth as a mofo for those that want and can afford it too. I know a lot of the time I will have a little project idea in mind then once I start it I keep adding on and making it nicer and have a hard time stopping. It's nice to see someone who knows the perfect time to stop. I've seen this quality in other great craftsman too where they know the exact right balance between quality of finish and time and money invested making the tool overall. Just pretty enough that you wouldn't complain about it, and yet the build quality is still first rate. But with rough and fine finish options you get to have both. Very cool.

If you stick it take a half step to the right, or left, throw again. This will help you miss the handle of the "stuck" axe. Or, as I do, pull your bull's before throwing again. Your handles will thank you.

@@masonw641 Don’t ask loaded questions! Lol Both have their merits. It is generally easier to have a perfect game in the IATF (81) than WATL (64) because of the difference between the clutch/killshots (2.75” vs 1.5”). My feeling is that the 81 is easier by quite a bit. But, there has been a lot of turmoil in WATL because of Mario (the guy running it). I met him and thought he was nice. But, some view him as a dictator that is making WATL difficult and has even permanently suspended some players. I have only officially played WATL so far, but there is an IATF place very close to where I work and I might join that league also. In the long run, they are both fun.

I used to practice throwing with a cheap hatchet from a bargain store. I found a dead tree and went at it for ages. I found the best way was to walk toward the target casually with the pol resting on my shouoder, then throw mid stride. Not much physical effort required that way. Don't worry about sticking it, just hit the target with enough force to knock a man off his feet. If it fails to stick, practice a follow up attack with a secondary weapon (you wouldn't let the thing leave your hand if it was your only weapon, would you?) Then repeat and repeat and repeat. When I started with this training technique, I was sticking it almost every time. Very satisfying.
@tomknapp61944 жыл бұрын
Resting on your shoulder is a bit too far back........ For most people. There is no single throwing style. As an axe coach, I tell people to have the axe and elbow at 90 degrees. Any more is a whipping motion that is less accurate. Practice makes perfect and patience is everything.

A funny story about that is that they marketed a 4.25" axe and then a few months later, their own official axe was now illegal. And your bullseye looks just a bit small.

Stupid question about RPG character design, lot of them got only some pieces of armor like the shoulder or the left breast. It comes to me that maybe a newbie adventurer couldn't afford a full armor set and won't save much money as he want to increase his chance of survive each quest. Maybe he would gatherer his armor piece by piece, trying to get the best deals out of cost and protection each time he got some money left. Then what should he go after? My guess would be to grab a helmet first then padded clothes. Get some piece of armor to cover his legs, the left one first if he's right-handed. But articulated protection might be the most expansive parts right ? So maybe a breastplate would be a better deal ? What would be used to protect your legs outside of plates tho ? Were there padded or chain pants back then ? Question is, if your were a young warrior looking to stuff yourself what piece of protection would you buy quest after quest ?

There is an axe bar across the street from my job. A bar. With throwing axes instead of billiards. Imagine really drunk dart games, except with axes... Lol!
