Highlights
Outing Highlights
Qualified instruction
Sessions are led by a qualified instructor who introduces safe technique before you pick up an axe and start throwing.
An outdoor-range experience
The activity is run outdoors, a different feel from indoor ranges — wind, weather and open air shape the session and its atmosphere.
Scoring rounds and a team finale
After practice throws you move to scored targets with ringed boards (higher points toward the bullseye) across five rounds, finishing with a team round that turns technique into competition.
What the day feels like
What the hour feels like
The hour begins with an introduction to safe axe-throwing technique and a short set of practice throws. As confidence builds you take on the ringed scoring targets — five rounds to accumulate points and chase the bullseye — before taking part in a team round. The session is deliberately relaxed but addictive: once you find the correct technique you’ll want to throw again and again.
