VEVOR axe throwing kits come with everything you need to set up a full throwing range at home, in the backyard, or at a special place. VEVOR's range covers every experience level and setup requirement with high-quality components, resilient targets, and safe, long-lasting designs. Whether you need a full throwing axes set for a group of competitive players, an entry-level axe throwing game set for casual backyard entertainment, or a premium kit with throwing axes and tomahawks sized for both adults and younger throwers.
Are you looking for something to do in your backyard that will keep people of all ages and skill levels entertained and help them improve their skills? Throwing an axe has gone from a small-scale outdoor activity to one of the most popular hobbies for fun at home and for team building. With the right gear, you can start safely. VEVOR has a range of carefully put together axe throwing kits that have everything you need to have a great time throwing.
When it comes to axe throwing kits, what's inside the box and how well each part works in real-life throwing situations determine their value and usefulness right away. Purchasing a well-assembled kit eliminates the need to purchase each component separately. The axes, target, and any extras that come with it are all matched to work as a single system. If you know what to look for in both kit thoroughness and target quality, you won't be let down when you open the box.
A real full axe throwing kit should have everything you need to start throwing right away, without having to buy anything else. Two throwing axes, or a throwing-axe tomahawk, are a must, along with a fixed or freestanding target board and a way to carry or store the equipment so it stays organized between sessions. If a kit only comes with one axe and a simple target board, you'll need to buy other things right away before you can play as a group, which takes away from the value of getting a set in the first place.
The more expensive axe-throwing game sets come with extras such as additional axes with different weights and handle lengths, scoring rings on the target face, hardware for mounting the target securely, a carrying case or holster for the axes, and safety instructions and basic throwing-technique sheets.
The target board is the part of an axe throwing kit that takes the most damage. The quality of the construction affects both how long it lasts and how satisfying each throw feels. People have been using end-grain wood for axe throwing targets for a long time. This is because end-grain threads grab the axe blade when it hits the wood and don't let go of the throw.
The end-grain thickness of the target board is a direct indicator of how long it will last. Extremely thin boards (less than about 4 inches of end-grain depth) break easily when struck repeatedly, removing material from the center bullseye until a hole forms, damaging the target. To ensure boards last a long time in competitive use, good axe-throwing game set targets typically have about 6 to 8 inches of end-grain depth.
For throwers, a simple round target board is enough to give them something to aim at. Still, a target with clearly marked scoring zones turns casual practice into real competition, keeping people interested over multiple games. Standard axe throwing competition targets feature a bullseye in the middle surrounded by concentric scoring rings. The bullseye is worth 6 points, while the rings around it are worth 4, 3, 2, and 1 points. There are also small “killshot” circles in the upper corners of the target face that offer bonus points for especially accurate throws.
Clear, high-contrast ring markings make it easy for players to score throws from the throwing line, as they can see exactly which zone a blade landed in. Sticky decals peel off and warp as the wood surface weathers and absorbs water from outdoor use, making it harder to see. Paint or burned-in marks stay visible for longer.
If your axe throwing kit doesn't include a way to store its components, it will quickly become a problem. Loose axes left unprotected are a safety risk in the home, and target boards left out in the weather without protection break down much faster than those stored.
When buying an axe throwing game set, portability is important, especially if you want to take it to events, camping trips, tailgate parties, or friends' homes, rather than set it up permanently in one place. A small axe carry case and a target stand design that is easy to move make the whole set really portable. You don't even need a truck bed or cargo van to move it.
The axes that come with an axe throwing kit are the most important parts of the game. They decide how the tool feels in your hand, how well it sticks in the target, and how safely it acts when you throw it and it doesn't land where you want it to. The quality of the axe and its safety features determine whether each session is filled with trust and satisfaction or stress and frustration.
The type of steel used in a throwing axe tomahawk affects how well the blade keeps its edge after being hit multiple times, how easily the head chips or cracks when hit, and how well the axe is balanced in the hand while being thrown. For throwing, high-carbon steel (usually between 1055 and 1075 carbon) is best because it keeps its edge and resists impact.
It is better for the blade geometry of a well-designed thrown axe to be stable when rotating and to penetrate the target than to chop or split. The cheeks of the blade are slightly convex ground, and the cutting edge is thin but not fragile. This gives the blade the right profile to consistently bite into end-grain wood boards used as targets at a variety of throw distances and rotation speeds.
The shape of the handle on a throwing axe is very different from that of a working hatchet or camp axe. A throwing handle needs to let go of the grip securely and consistently at the point of throw while also helping the tool stay balanced as it flies through the air. Too-long handles shift the tool's balance point back, making it require more effort to keep throws straight and controlled.
The best length for a throwing axe tomahawk handle depends on the person's arm length, throwing style, and the distance of the target. Most competition-standard handles are between 14 and 19 inches long. Straight-grain hickory and ash wood handles are classic options that absorb contact shock and have a natural grip texture that doesn't require any extra coatings.

Most axe throwing competitions and recreational setups use a throwing distance of 12 to 15 feet from the target face. This distance accommodates one full rotation of a standard-length throwing axe or tomahawk for most throwers.
Use a sharpening stone or file to restore the edge after extended sessions, maintaining the original bevel angle. Remove any burrs from the edge after sharpening. Wipe the blade with a light coat of oil after each session to prevent surface rust.
With proper supervision, clear safety rules, and appropriately sized equipment, throwing axes and tomahawks can be enjoyed by responsible older teenagers. Lighter, shorter-handled youth-sized axes reduce the physical demand and improve control for younger throwers.
Soft end-grain wood species, particularly pine, poplar, and basswood, are the standard choice for axe throwing targets. These species grip the blade on impact, allow clean penetration, and resist splitting better than hardwoods under repeated axe impacts.
For group play with three to six participants, a kit with four to six axes provides enough equipment for continuous rotation without long waits between turns. A complete throwing axes set with at least four axes keeps the activity moving at a pace that maintains group energy and engagement throughout a backyard session or event.
