What is the best throwing tomahawk to learn on ?

I learned with a double bit hatchet. Some promo item i got from the NRA that i didn't mind if it got wrecked, which it did. Anything that will give you more than one surface to stick it with is good because you won't have to chase it as much and soothes your ego because your sticking more than 1/10. SOG makes one designed for throwing. I don't know what the name is even though I have one, but it has this well placed upturned spike that enables it to stick more often than not. It might be called the blue max or the black max. If you can find one, go with that.

This isn't a throwing hawk. True throwing hawks will have free floating heads so the impact isn't transmitted directly to the handle, which is wood. That's not to say the wood handles won't need replacing from time time but they are cheap and easy to replace. Tactical hawks are meant to stay in the hand.

well in my opinon the norse hawk by cold steel throws well the head has a point so even if you over rotate it should stick. but i find that all my cold steel hawks throw well. i have the trench hawk norse hawk trail hawk and frontier hawk

Understanding that you will probably go through many tomahawks over the course of throwing them as a hobby, you could do worse than this one. I think it would hold up to quite a few throws, even the damage I did to mine wouldn't stop it from being a good beat around thrower. It will stick on either the blade or spike side (which is good for your self-esteem). The handle is a little long for throwing (in my opinion). I'm not sure which product on Amazon I would recommend to learn. Any of them that are heavy enough, will be just fine.

I got the trainer for this, hoping it would help in training on my Sog Fasthawk, and it was huge by comparison. The handle is longer than I'd like for throwing. If you want a thrower, a SOG fasthawk was really nice to learn on. Choke up a bit, and its like throwing a giant throwing star.

No, the handle is too long and the head is too light. It's a great hawk, best of the genre for the money, but it won't throw well. SOG makes one that is much easier to throw, made for that in fact and it is made of one piece of steel so it will stand up to the type of use it gets when someone is learning.

You'd need to be skilled in throwing spears in general, and I'd recommend a counter weight at the butt to balance the spear for flight. It's not specifically designed for throwing, but with enough skill and modifications you can make a washing machine fly.

the flat trigger model seems to have a better response time , they are both excellent. i would recommend ether one for any fishing or small game trapping.

There are some videos online that show some modifications you can make to improve various aspects, including the problem you mentioned. Mine did that too when I first threw it at a log. There is a small screw in the side of the head of the tomahawk. You need to take an allen wrench, unscrew it, push (or tap with a tool) the head towards the fatter end of the stick then re tighten the screw to hold it in place. There are other ways to solve this with a couple of different methods but that way si the easiest and fastest.

Yes, with practice. I learned to throw no-spin, so it was a little easier but it does NOT throw like a knife, so there's some adjustments. My only complaint isn't really a complaint, but an observation. When this this thing hits on it's side, instead of a point, it can rebound with incredible energy and distance, so beware. Also, you might want to paint it a bright color; it can bury itself in dirt, grass etc. quite effectively.

Basically they are the exact same thingi cant see any differance and to be honest im not the right person to ask because i dont know much about tomahawks but one good place to find out the differance is on youtube,just look up the differant reveiws on the two products.im sorry i coulldnt answere your question though.

Go of cheaper than dirt.com and look for a throwing ax. The tommy hawk is more of a multi tool, however, a fun throwing ax it makes. Be safe.

I also bought this bow as a gift to my grandson. For target practice I purchased the Easton Genesis II 6-pk. They are great as a beginning arrow, but the fletchings (vanes) are flimsy and come off easily. I decided in the future I would buy arrows else where.

Yes this is a good solid tactical weapon, it is a full tang solid hawk has a good weight and balance. This hawk is good for all extraction, emergency, survival and combat needs. Though you said you don't plan to through it it does perform well as a thrown weapon. Hope this helps, you may also look at the vtac hawk it is also a fine weapon and is used by our fighting forces.

12 inches tall; I bought the 2 inch and the 2 1/2 inch blade tomahawk. I prefer the bigger one.Hope this helps.

The tomahawk is full tang so it is unlikely the handle will break although the nylon cord can come unwound.

NOPE! I lost my first Klaw hatchet to a similar trick. Unless you can figure out a good way to reinforce it, don't even try. If you want a sturdy NERF melee weapon, I recommend the Warlock Axe. Now get back out there, soldier!

I recommend a whisker biscuit for recurve. This will not work at all, because a compound bow has the needed down line to pull the rest up.

If you are coaching little guys 4yrs to 7 yrs, throwing is probably better. If you are doing first step drills over a short distance, throwing is better. I coach 11 yr olds and with a little practice I am able to hit spots at 150+ feet. If I could consistently hit fungos accurately that would be best but I can't so this works best for me

It all depends on the arrow....being of Cherokee decent I can really only offer advice on those used by my people. I need more information.

I bought this bow as my first bow so I could grow both in strength and in skill with this bow. It so far has served me well and I got it for a very good price here on amazon Its the Barnett Vortex 45-Pounds Youth Archery Bow (Camo). Its a good deal all around for a first bow. you can turn down the draw weight until you get better and stronger. then turn it up. You can hunt with this bow, its that strong.

You can use this weapon for throwing... but i can't see a LOGICAL reason to throw this weapon in particular, unless you trained months on months on end, and it was the only option to save our life. There is a hole in the pummel, big enough for a small rope to go through, that might make throwing easier. It is heavy, and it is a great machete and defensive weapon, well built and about the sturdiest thing I own. id give it 10 stars for that. As a throwing weapon id have to give it 1 star.
