Step into a room where timber smells faintly of resin, targets wear the concentric scars of previous throws, and the thud of steel against wood marks the tempo of the hour. In Albany’s dedicated axe-throwing spaces, that thud becomes your measure of progress—coaches correct your stance, hands, and release until an axe sticks cleanly and the room breaks into low, satisfied cheers.
