Lay all six 48" precut 2x8 boards parallel to each other on your work surface.
Center and lay the sheeting on top of the 2x8 boards. Screw from the sheeting into the 2x8 boards using 4 screws per board (two on top and two on bottom). This insures the screw heads are on the back of the target to avoid contact with throwing accessories. (Damage may occur to throwing accessories if thrown into metal).
Lay out both 53" precut 2x4 boards vertically and two of the 48" precut 2x4 boards horizontally into a frame structure
Flip the sheeting witht the attached 2x8 boards over onto the frame and attach the frame with four screws (two on top and two on bottom).
Lay out both 53" precut 2x4 boards vertically and two of the 48" precut 2x4 boards horizontally into a frame Once all screws are in place, flip the structure over and attach the hinges and the remaining two 48" 2x4s. The bottom of the 2x4s should line up with the bottom of the throwing target and the hinges and top of the 2x4 being a little more than half way up the target.
Optional: You may also want to add a foot of chain on the legs of the target depending on what surfae you decide to use the target on.

TYPES OF THROWING ACCESSORIES
With a target built, complete your local at home axe-house with an array of throwing accessories. Let your friends try a variety of styles of throwing tools to test their skills. Once you get into throwing, the barrier to entry in trying out a new style is very low. Further, using balistics gel in blocks or in molded shapes like that of a human torso can be fun to use as targets to really show you what your throwing arm is capable of.
Becomd a part of a large community of enthusiasts, professionals, and content creators that love throwing sports.
THROWING AXES
Axes might seem intimidating but they are arguibly one of the easier options in throwing sports. They have much larger edges that come into contact with the target than throwing knives. The trick is mastering the amount of rotation of the axe when you throw.
THROWING KNIVES
A common optoin for throwing sports are knives. they come in a variety of shapes but are all based around sticking the target with a single point.
THROWING CARDS
You may have seen cards being thrown before, but not ones like these. Throwing cards offer an edge all the way around that will contact the target no matter how many times they rotate, a fun and novel optoin.
THROWING CLEAVERS
Cleavers work similarly to knives but offer just a bit more edge along one side as well as more weight. Some may find they prefer cleavers to knives.
TACTICAL AXE
If you prefer the throwing axe style over the other offerings but want to take it to the next level, the tomahawk style tactical axe offers a rounder more comfotable handle and deeper, elongated edges.
LARGE THROWING AXE
Its a throwing axe, but bigger. Our large throwing axe offers more weight and more inertia as it rotates. These offer a ton of power and stick to your target with less effort.
