Axe throwing, as a sport, likely dates back to the American Frontier, but the tools themselves are much older. Axes with handles (or hafted axes) have existed for centuries, with the first-known hafted axe dating to around 6000 BC! Many of these axes were fashioned from sharpened stone and had handles made from wood—not entirely unlike our modern throwing axes. But as this competitive sport continues to grow in popularity, our Hatchet House experts are constantly shedding light on common axe-throwing misconceptions and sharing their favorite fun facts with our guests.
