Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
What is axe throwing?
Axe throwing typically involves throwing an axe at a wood target with the goal of embedding it as close to the bullseye as possible; it’s presented here as a safe, coached activity.
How does axe throwing work?
Coaches explain safe technique—grip, standing distance and throwing motion—then supervise as axes rotate once before hitting the target; coaches demonstrate basics and stay with the group throughout.
How old do you have to be to throw?
Participants must be at least 12 years old; any youth under 18 must have a parent or guardian with them.
Is axe throwing safe?
Yes—safety is the top priority: coaches provide orientation, enforce safe throwing technique, and the lanes include defined safety zones.
What makes The Virginia Axe Company different?
The operator emphasizes a mission-driven approach: locally owned, multi-family run, using regionally repurposed timber for targets and bringing years of competitive bladed-sports experience to the community.
Can you accommodate people with disabilities?
Yes—the facility is fully ADA compliant and axe throwing is available for people with a variety of abilities.
Do you offer food and beverage or parking?
Light snacks and nonalcoholic drinks are available onsite; guests may bring their own food. Parking is available and larger-group parking should be coordinated by phone ahead of time.
