You throw the axe direction target, it's really not that complicated... but below video should explain it pretty well.

The Pit
The "Pit" is the arena for throwing axes and it is laid out according to World Axe Throwing League's Lane rules.
Every pit contains 2 lanes with 3 differently colored lines on the ground.
Yellow Line
Yellow Line
The Yellow line is the "Fault Line" (12 ft / 3.65m ) and it must not be crossed during any throw or the throw will be invalid.
Red Line
Red Line
The thrower has to stand with one or both feet behind the Red "Throw Line" (15 ft / 4.57m) at the beginning of the throw.
Blue Line
Blue Line
When throwing a Big Axe the blue line becomes the "Throw Line" and the Red Line becomes the Fault Line.

Spectators and participants not currently throwing axes must stay outside of the pit demarked by the wooden tables while participants are throwing axes.

Retrieving axes
