About

Axe throwing is similar to dart throwing and a bowling alley. You will be throwing an axe at a target in your reserved lane. So wrap both hands around the axe handle, lift over your head and aim for that bull’s eye! Don't worry, our AxeMaster will be there to coach you!

What to Bring/Wear

Be sure to wear "closed toe shoes", you will not be able to throw if we can see your toes :) and bring a "valid photo ID".

Frequently Asked Questions

How does indoor axe throwing work?

Axe throwing is similar to dart throwing and a bowling alley. You will be throwing an axe at a target in your reserved lane. So wrap both hands around the axe handle, lift over your head and aim for that bull’s eye! Don't worry, our AxeMaster will be there to coach you!

Is there an age requirement?

Yes. Due to the nature of axe throwing, kids age 13-17 and under must have an adult present at the lane. Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to throw axes. We highly recommend one adult per 3 children and one adult per small group of teenagers. Please keep in mind; Axe throwing requires good coordination and concentration skills to be successful.

How do walk-ins work?

When we do have walk-in space, the throwing times normally start on the hour, so you probably won't be able to walk in and start throwing - you'll have to wait until the next available start time. Kind of like walking in a bowling alley. We highly recommend making reservations. Book online to reserve your spot, or view our calendar to check availability.

Is there a safety briefing?

Yes, we have Axe Masters that will hold a safety briefing with you. To start, you will have an axe throwing briefing with an Axe Master. They will teach you a few throwing skills and give you game ideas.
After about 10-15 minutes of safety and skill advice, the Axe Master will step back and play a supporting role in your axe throwing experience.

Can I bring my axe?

No, for safety reasons, but it's ok, we have Rockford's Finest Estwing Axes for you.

Can I take pictures?

Yes, we recommend taking pictures. We also encourage you to share photos on our Facebook page.
