Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
What is axe throwing?
Axe throwing involves throwing an axe at a wood target with the goal of embedding the axe as close to the bullseye as possible.
How does it work?
After a safety overview, coaches teach proper grip, throwing motion and standing distance; the axe typically rotates once before hitting the target and participants practice until they are comfortable.
Is axe throwing safe?
Yes—safety is the number one priority: coaches provide orientation, remain with groups, and lanes are constructed with safety zones.
How old do you have to be to throw?
Participants must be at least 12 years old; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Can you accommodate people with disabilities?
Yes, the facility is fully ADA compliant and axe throwing is available for a wide range of abilities.
Do you offer food and beverage?
The venue offers light snacks and microwaveable items plus nonalcoholic drinks; you may bring your own food and BYOB is possible after applying for a banquet license through the ABC website.
Are there footwear requirements?
Closed-toe shoes are mandatory for anyone throwing; comfortable clothing that allows full arm movement is recommended.
