EXPERIENCE
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.
IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS:
ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST BE 13 OR OLDER. ANYONE UNDER 18 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR WHO MUST ALSO BE A PARTICIPANT.

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.
