Why Groups Rate This

It's a sad but indisputable fact: men are just not as manly as they once were. Years of refrigerators and supermarkets and pizza delivery have softened us. We'd bet you've never once wrestled a bear, crushed rock between your bare hands, or stared down an eagle just for the fun of it. Wimp.

Well, that's all about to change. With our axe-throwing activity, you and the lads are able to get back to that primal hunter state. With targets, obviously, not actual animals. We're not barbarians.

It combines those natural instincts men hold close; sharp things and throwing sharp things wildly. With a slight competitive element too (you don't want to be the only lad who couldn't take down a wild boar with an axe if the situation ever arose), as well as the thrill of learning a useful survival skill (axe would be an excellent weapon of choice in a zombie apocalypse), it's the perfect activity to get all the lads bonding and having fun.

There's no better time for enjoying such masculine pursuits than on a stag do, after all. It's a men-only manly right of passage, treasured bonding time for you and the lads without any women (well, we can think of a few exceptions...), and so it's the perfect time for you all to unleash your inner mad axemen.

FAQs

Do You Have To Be Strong To Throw The Axes?

The axes aren't particularly heavy, so you don't need to be a jacked protein-shake guy to hit the targets. It's all about precision over power.

Is Axe Throwing Risky?

Everything could be risky if you're not careful… making a cup of tea is 'risky' if you're messing about. Listen to your instructors, don't mess about when you have an axe in your hand and you'll be fine.

Can You Drink At Axe Throwing?

No, you can't arrive intoxicated or drink whilst taking part in axe throwing. Save the beers for after - the loser can buy the first round.

How Far Away Do You Stand For Axe Throwing?

There are different skill levels, and the instructor might adjust the distance accordingly, but most times you'll be about 12 feet away from the target.

How Heavy Is An Axe For Axe Throwing?

The axes will weigh about 2 to 5 lbs depending on their style.
