The best time for you to land your Q comes from one of these moments:

A: your opponent is not anticipating your axe

B: your opponent's priorities are elsewhere

C: your opponent is simply unable to deviate their path.

(A) comes from when your opponent is unaware of your presence or intent, if you're dancing in front of the minion wave and your opponent is dancing back and forth waiting for your Q, it's going to be up to luck if you hit or not. Don't -bother-. If you can toss your axe from where your opponent can't see you, or when their attention is diverted, it greatly reduces the chance they'll react to the incoming projectile.

(B) Is something you'll see frequently in lane, and is probably your most frequent opportunity to use it. Last hitting - if an opponent is moving to melee a creep, go to harass, if it looks like they're going somewhere with a purpose, this is the prime time to smack 'em with it.

(C) If an opponent is running, they're going to want to take the path of least resistance, unless they have some craze movespeed boosts, their path will likely be going in a straight line, with this you're going to want to judge at what point you can hit an opponent with it.

Oh, of course, (C) goes for when they're chasing after you too, of course. Unfortunately that will probably leave your axe on cooldown.
