Axe Throwing - 2 hour experience
The satisfaction of landing your first axe in a target is one of life’s most primal joys. It's also a great way to let off steam; you'll get the thrill and physical release of seeing your axe flying through the air, and, if you’re good at it, gloating rights for hitting the bullseye!
Despite sounding quite intimidating, axes don’t discriminate! Axe throwing is a back to basics activity, rewarding technique over strength. We love teaching people of all skill levels (we are especially fond of teaching beginners!), come in and give it a crack!
