Believe it or not, axe throwing has been around for a while now and is quite safe. It typically involves throwing an axe at a wood target. The goal is to embed the axe as close to the bullseye as possible.
How does it work?
It’s actually pretty easy to master and involves an axe rotating once fully in the air before hitting its target. Once an overview on proper safety is given, your coach will help you with proper hand/grip placement, throwing motion, and standing distance. Once the basics are demonstrated and acknowledged, you are free to throw.

We are proud to bring our years of award-winning competitive knife and axe throwing experience to the Richmond area community.
