THE INSTRUCTION

Expert Hosts and Safety-First Coaching

Every session begins with a host—your on-site lumberjack or lumberjane—who leads a safety briefing and coached practice, then monitors the cages so you can focus on improving your aim.

THE GAME

Practice, Then Play: Games and Friendly Competition

After practice you move into the lanes to compete—choose simple contests or playful formats like Around the World and see who can land the most bullseyes in the allotted time.

THE ACCESS

Designed for Families and First-Timers

No prior experience is required; sessions welcome a wide range of participants while enforcing minimum-age and accompaniment rules so families can participate safely.

What the day feels like

What the 90 Minutes Feels Like

The flow is compact and kinetic: you meet your host, run through a short safety and technique primer, spend focused minutes on target practice, then step into the cages for structured play and free-form contests. Hosts keep the mood lively and the environment safe, leaving the session’s tone—serious practice or rowdy tournament—up to your group.
