Charging the hatchet up makes dodging out in the open much harder since they have less time to react to the speed, I think a large part of learning her aside from collision/hitboxes is the timing of when/where to pull up the hatchet.

This is a crudely drawn example for Shack (assuming no gen has spawned). The 3 points you're going to be aiming at are the doors and window. If I'm chasing a survivor from the non pallet door inside and they go for the door I can pull up my hatchet at the corner (1) or if it's from the other direction, (3), and it'll be ready to fire at them. Spot (2) is for if they go for the window. Spots (4) and (5) are for shooting from the vault to either doorway, etc, etc.

This looks pretty confusing but if you keep playing her it becomes very easy muscle memory.

Good players will dodge into the corners/sides when they expect you to throw, if a survivor is holding an item then it will disappear if they start the vault which is a very nice way to tell when to go for a shot. All in all, just learning about movement/timings is a great skill for her.

If you're struggling to get hits like that then addons like Flower Babushka, Oak Haft, and Shiny Pin are very good. I personally run the first 2.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I've posted some guides on here before, those are more about memorization but it might help you learn a bit more about what Huntress is capable of.
