Built for Repeatable Throws
Consistency wins matches. From its controllable 16" length to the mass-forward head, the Professional Thrower is engineered to leave the hand cleanly and track straight.

Ideal for Training, Leagues & Events
Backyard Practice: Groove fundamentals at manageable distances without fighting your gear.
Club/League Nights: Durable build shrugs off volume, letting you focus on alignment, stance, and follow-through.
Competition: Reliable stick and predictable rotation help you convert reps into points.
Handling & Ergonomics
Secure Grip: Lightly sanded or taped sections (optional) add traction without snagging on release.
Natural Point Control: The 4" edge and balanced beard-to-bit profile help the head drive straight into end-grain or competition targets.
Manageable Length: At 16 inches, it’s compact enough for transport and fast cycles, yet long enough for stability in the throw.
Care & Maintenance
Target Selection: Use end-grain wood or regulation axe targets to reduce bounce-outs and protect the edge.
After-Session Wipe Down: Remove sap and moisture; apply a light oil to the head to deter corrosion.
Edge Touch-Up: Maintain a working edge with a file or stone—avoid razor-thin edges that roll on impact.
Handle Care: Periodically check the fit, lightly sand any raised grain, and treat with boiled linseed oil to nourish the hickory.
Safety & Responsible Use
Throw only at dedicated targets in a clear, controlled area with a safe backstop.
Maintain a safe perimeter; never throw while anyone is downrange.
Wear closed-toe shoes and eye protection.
Follow local range/club rules and know your local laws regarding transport and use.
