Ok, Now I finally understand that this axe throwing is. I went to the Kentucky rendezvous and got to try it for the first time and I'm hooked! I want to build a target here at my house. I'm sure there are any number or was "a" target can be made, but is there a good commonly accepted design? I'm assuming that a target of endgrain would hold up better? Should it be oak? The one at the rendezvous was build from some scrap cedar timbers where the target was not endgrain. By the end of the weekend, the center of the target was pretty trashed. Any help appreciated.
