How does the activity run?
How does the activity run?
We have between two and 5 people throwing axes at a variety of different sized targets, and at different distances, which is when it gets competitive.
Why not have more people throwing axes?
Why not have more people throwing axes?
Our experience shows that the danger of a 'bounce back' where the axe can rebound from a target makes it more dangerous to have more people throwing. Also as its more to do with technique you benefit from the instructor guidance and ultimately it allows us to move you further away from the target, to land the axe from greater distances.
Does Axe throwing require a lot of strength to take part?
Does Axe throwing require a lot of strength to take part?
No we use American tomahawks, designed to be used in one hand and perfect for throwing. It becomes more about technique the further you move back from the target, requiring more skill and concentration than just strength.
What is the minimum/maximum group size?
What is the minimum/maximum group size?
There is no minimum group size and up to a maximum team size of 15 people, if your group size is larger than this you will be split over 2 or more lanes or you will be provided with more time. If you have a group of less than 6 people we reserve the right to mix you with another party.

How long does the session last?
Each activity slot is dependent on your group size. As a guide 1-6 people it will take 30 minutes, 8-10 people 45 minutes and 11-15 people one hour. Time is influenced by how many are throwing at one time. In certain circumstances such as a small group where your health and safety could be at risk from overconfidence, we may reduce this time.

Can I wear fancy dress?
Yes, if you like the look of a Viking, or Sitting Bull or Pocahontas herself, it’s not a problem, so long as it does not have the potential to be caught in any moving parts, does not impair vision, means you are still wearing the correct footwear and safety gear.
