Think darts, but with axes.
Pretty straight forward, right?
Axe throwing has been traced back to the stone ages, and has been recognized as a safe and fun activity for adults of all ages. Never thrown an axe before? Our axe coaches will guide you through safety and throwing technique and set you up for some friendly competition with your friends. Enjoy a beer during your session, and order in some food of your choice from one of our preferred restaurants.
