Axe throwing experience

This 1 hour activity is fantastic for parties and groups, and involves learning to throw an axe into wooden roundel targets. This ancient skill was practiced by knights during the Middle Ages, the Vikings and also by native American Indians who perfected the art of throwing Tomahawk axes.

The session will start with an introduction into the basic techniques required to get the axe to hit and stick into the wooden targets at 3m. Light weight training axes are used to ensure everyone understands the techniques.

Larger throwing axes will then be introduced - these require more technique but are really satisfying to throw!

The session will end with a scored competition.

Requirements

  • Participants must be 10+ years old and 147cm tall
  • You will be throwing the training axes and tomahawks for most of the time. You will also be reaching down to the ground to pick up fallen axes (some more than others!) The activity is not suitable for anyone who has any existing medical condition that could be aggravated by the throwing action
  • Some participants can find the tomahawks too heavy to throw safely. In these circumstances the training axes will be used throughout
  • If any of the group members are aged under 16 years we will need at least two adults to accompany the group
  • Axe throwing takes place on a covered purpopse built range at our 100 acre outdoor activity centre. You will still be outdoors when you recover the thrown axes wear suitable outdoor clothing including:
    • Waterproof jacket (hopefully you won't need it, but worth bringing in case the weather turns)

Axe throwing experiences

Axe throwing is loads of fun for anyone aged 10 or over, starting off with our lightweight training angel axes, and then moving on to throwing axes and more challenging targets at our purpose built axe throwing range!

Your session starts with our experienced instructors teaching the skills required to throw light weight three pointed axes, called "angels" at a distance of 3m. Once everyone's perfected the Angels, you move on to larger tomahawk throwing axes at 6m - which are really satisfying to throw! The finale is a hugely fun competition on the 6m range, giving you a winner!
