Fault lines

Why people argue about this

People often assume that the distance from the target is based solely on the size of the axe head, with bigger axes requiring closer starting lines. But in reality, it's about ensuring fair play regardless of the axe type, so smaller axes like hatchets need to start 12 feet away for safety and fairness, while larger 'big axes' get a bit more room at 15 feet out from the line.
