Knife Throwing | Max Events

Ready to learn a new skill for the day - knife throwing

Knife throwing is a great activitiy for stag or hen groups looking for something unique to try. Will you end up like Jim Bowie the Wild West frontier legend or, more like the knife thrower on Lithuania's Got Talent who nearly destroyed his assistant!. This is another one of those skills that most people tried in their youth. There was nothing more satisfying than imagiing the knife or thowing star landing in the target from 20 feet away, but the reality was never quite like that.

You can now learn to throw using a perfectly designed and balanced knife. This is one activity that is definitely not as easy as it looks. The competition starts as we move you further back from the target to achieve 3, 4 or maybe even 5 rotations of the blade.

Knife throwing can be booked on its own, mixed with axes for the great throwing combo, or with any of our shooting or driving activites for a great mix up of event.

Knife Throwing Frequently Asked Questions

How does the activity run?

We have two people throwing knives at a variety of different sized targets.

Does knife throwing require a lot of strength to take part?

No we use perfectly balanced knives, 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?

On Saturday we operate a minimum group size of 6. up to a maximum team size of 12 people, if your group size is larger than this you will be split over 2 or more tracks or you will be provided with more time. If you have a group of less than 6 people we suggest you call in the week running up to the day you would like to come, as we may have some space we can offer you, in this case we reserve the right to mix you with another party, alternatively you can pay for 6 people.

What day can i book, are you only open at weekends?

Predominately we are open on Saturday for group bookings, but do open during the week. Any booking would be subject to availability and group size. Please call to discuss options.

How long does the session last?

Each activity runs for 1 hour in Bristol. If you just book just the knife throwing, that will last for one hour.

If your group size is over 12 people we will either split you into 2 teams or more, or provide more time.

In certain circumstances such as a small group where your health and safety could be at risk from over confidence, we may reduce this time. Alternatively if you are acting beyond what Max Events, or our instructors deem safe/acceptable, you will be asked to leave the activity. No refunds will apply for misuse of equipment.

How long will I be on site?
This is dependant on the package booked but we ask that you arrive half hour prior to the start of your activities, and you will need at least 15 minutes from when the activities have finished to getting in your car.

Am I insured?
Max Events carries £5 million public liability insurance. This covers us and you in the event of our negligence. You are provided with all instruction necessary to complete the activity safely, if you operate any equipment beyond your ability or the boundaries that we provide you will not be covered, it does not cover you for acts of stupidity or if an incident arises beyond our control.

Can we operate in any weather?
Unfortunately we cannot control the weather. In most cases we work very hard to ensure your event runs smoothly and with the required activities in your booking. If we feel we have a health and safety issue we would try and make contact in the week prior to your arrival and offer some alternative suggestions. In extreme circumstances on the day we may have to offer an alternative activity which carries an equal or greater value.

Will I get dirty / Do you provide overalls?

If your just doing knife throwing you wont get muddy.

Can I wear fancy dress?
Yes, if you like the lidea of dressing up like Jim Bowie, Lara Croft, or maybe even Katnis from the Hunger Games Viking, or anything, it’s not a problem
