Humpday Triviola...Back To Business

Sorry about missing last week. I was away from the cyber world preparing for a furniture show....which is a long twisted tale for another time. So without further adieu.....

The "fore-bit" is officially important to be successful in this activity. What is it?

Re: Can't give a full answer as...

I have to go out and chop some wood. Perhaps I might try my hand at throwing the ax at a stump.

Another cutting edge question. Don't let the back edge get ya.

Brian, Dale and Scott are just dangerous enough to all be axe throwers....which is what the answer is!

The "Fore-Bit" is the bit in the target direction in the moment when the thrower lets the double-bitted axe go.

Only the "Fore-Bit" of the double-bitted axe can score a hit on the target area ­ a condition is however that the bit sticks in the target.The "Fore-Bit" only needs to cut the outer edge of a line of the scoring area to win points of that higher scoring area. The "Back-Bit" is not allowed to brush against the target ­ if so the scoring will be 0 even if the "Fore-Bit" has hit the target at same time. Best score in minimum of three throws wins.

So grab an axe and get throwing. Just make sure I'm not around!!
