Axe Throwing in Chicago

Public axe throwing is available for online reservations of 2+ people. With a public reservation, your group will have a guaranteed time slot while throwing axes and competing with other groups. Walk-in lanes for axe throwing are welcome based on availability.

Your “axe-pert” coach will first demonstrate the different ways to throw an axe, make sure everyone can throw in the axe lanes safely, and then will allow the people in your group to make their first attempts.

 

EXPERIENCE AXE THROWING

Don’t get discouraged if your first few throws bounce off the target and land on the floor. It’s a little different and can take some time to figure out how to make it stick. Once you do, though, it can be addictive. After everyone understands the basics, your coach will lead your group through a series of games. Your score is based on where you hit the target, and there’s an almost endless series of games you can play individually or as a team.

COMPETITIVE

This cutting-edge craze can actually draw its roots all the way back to 400-500 AD when the first axes were thrown in hunting and combat. And while few things are as impressive as sticking a sharp blade in a wooden target.

Once you get started, you’ll likely want to try it again, and if you’re really serious, you can even join our seasonal axe throwing league.

SAFE

Since safety is our main priority, our team of Axe Coaches are constantly watchful. They will coach you along the way to make sure you learn the basics of safe axe throwing. Axe throwing gives you the chance to focus on your own skills and develop new ones. You can learn how to throw two-hand overhead, one hand to the side, or underhanded. Each method offers a bit of a different sensation.

FUN

Axe throwing is all the rage right now, and it’s fun for everyone – men, women, young, and old. You can even BYOB (Bring Your Own Blade).

Actually, in some locations, you can actually bring the bottle, too!

Your Axe Throwing Coach will also organize fun games and maybe even teach you some trick shots.

AXE THROWING COACHES

Your friendly “axe-pert” Axe Coach will teach you and the others in your time slot how to throw axes with a variety of methods—two-hand overhead, one-hand, and underhand. Your coach will also encourage you to experiment with the different methods before settling into your preferred way to throw. Remember, professional axe throwers spend countless hours perfecting their technique, so there’s a good chance that the method that seems less natural now may actually become better over time.

The speedway was a blast, but the ax throwing with Lionel was the highlight of the day. From teaching us how to throw the ax to putting on some tunes to keep us pumped, he was the bomb! Great guy with a great attitude – def ask for Lionel! Thanks Lionel!!

WONDERFUL place! We went on a Thursday to avoid the weekend crowd! Shak and John were AWESOME! Axe throwing and racing both were the perfect ways to let off some steam. If you have a competitive streak, go with a friend and keep score during the axe throwing games. Good value package for axe throwing and racing combo. I’ll definitely be going back!

“I have been wanting to do this forever!!! Finally, I found some ladies to go with me…woo hoo! Our instructor was Coach Caleb and he was awesome. He showed us a few tricks and just let us go at it! Once we got the hang of it, Caleb showed us some games…and there was a little friendly competition. It is so much fun!!! And once you get the hang of it… and you make a bullseye…you feel pretty darn great let me tell ya!!!

I highly recommend it for any day of the week whether you are alone (maybe take out some frustrations) or with friends. It’s a great stress reliever for sure…I know, because I needed it!!! I think it’s a unique evening out with the guys, gals, or couples. It can also be a great family activity for kids 13+. You won’t be disappointed!

In case you don’t know, this is at the indoor speedway. There is a restaurant and bar inside as well and there is ample parking. Plus, they give a veteran discount (thank you bunches).”

What a great find! Totally unplanned, we discovered this fun, locally owned axe- throwing bar and more. Sky was terrific tending bar and Brian was a super throwing coach/ server. We were just visiting the area but highly recommend.

For our company outing we decided to do a private axe throwing event. Some people were not sure what to expect. But it was so much fun that now everyone wants to do it again.

I am not an athlete so I thought I would be bad axe throwing, but the axe coach was patient and friendly. It was so much fun that I am even thinking about joining the league!

Danny

Turns out my wife is a real ‘bad axe’ after all. I did not do too bad myself. What a great time!
