An axe buried in the red centre of a wooden target

Home / Throwing

Ten dollars.
Thirty minutes.

That's the whole deal. Coaching's included, experience isn't required, and almost nobody is as bad at it as they expect to be.

How it goes

Turn up. Throw. Eat.

1

Come in and ask

Walk-ins are welcome whenever a lane's free. If you're bringing a crowd or you're driving in from out of town, ring ahead and we'll hold one for you.

2

Somebody shows you

Where to stand, how to hold it, when to let go. It takes about two minutes and then you're left alone to get on with it.

3

Half an hour on the board

Long enough to stop being nervous, get properly competitive with whoever you came in with, and land a few you'll be talking about later.

4

Then sit down and eat

The kitchen's right there and it's genuinely good. Most people throw first and eat after, which is the correct order.

Worth knowing

Before you step up.

  • Closed-toe shoes

    That's the one hard rule on footwear. Otherwise wear whatever you can swing your arms in.

  • It's about timing, not strength

    Every first-timer throws too hard. The axe has to turn over once and land flat — that's a release thing, not a muscle thing, which is why it's such a level playing field.

  • Families throw here

    This is a family place in the daytime and a proper night out later on. You need to be 8 or older to go into the throwing area, everyone signs a waiver before they throw, and it’s closed-toe shoes only — no sandals.

  • Bouncing one out is normal

    Genuinely everybody does it. Nobody in here is watching you, and if they are, it's because they did the same thing ten minutes ago.

Groups & parties

Bring the whole lot of them.

Birthdays, work nights out, teams, bachelor and bachelorette parties, family reunions where nobody can agree on anything — an axe board settles a lot of arguments.

Give us a call and we'll sort out lanes, timings and food together so nobody's standing about. The kitchen can feed a group properly, which is not something you can say about most activity places.
