Most of this video would dovetail nicely in the retard thread.

Speaking of retards...

You'll see the first one he throws is one handed which is how I like to throw. But it is easier to throw two-handed like he does the last couple. It keeps your body square so it is easier to learn to stick. Gruff taught me that.

I mess around with hawks now and then. For throwing, you need a well made, forged hawk. I like the ones I get from H&B Forge. Well balanced, sharp, nice haft.

Throwing a hatchet was a favorite pastime for roughnecks [workers on drilling rigs] when I was a kid.

On top of what has already been said, it is more fun if you build a nice big target. Don't worry about accuracy until you can stick the target regularly. It is all about revolutions and letting that handle slide out of your hand. The most common thing I have seen the beginners do is throw the hawk too easy. You have got to throw it hard. Think fastball.

Throwing hawks is easy. It's catching is what's hard.

Get an Estwing sheetrock hammer.
They are great for throwing and you can't break the handles
