Axe Throwing FAQs
What does an axe-throwing session look like?
Check-in when you arrive, then grab a drink or place an order. We will introduce your axe coach when your entire party has arrived, and we’ve received all waivers.
Each axe-throwing session is approximately 90 minutes long. Your axe coach will first discuss safety, axe-throwing techniques, and the rules of the game. Each guest will be allowed a few practice throws before the games begin!
Following your session, if you and your party wish to stay to enjoy another drink or order something from our food menu, feel free! Also, you might be able to keep throwing if there is no other booking after you; just ask your axe coach!
What size groups can you accommodate?
Lanes can be reserved for 2-6 people. We also offer packages for parties and full-facility rentals. For parties and group events, please contact [email protected] or call 540.619.2225.
Do I need to book in advance? If yes, how much in advance?
We recommend booking 2-3 days in advance, especially for Friday night reservations and weekends. A limited number of walk-ins may be available.
What should I wear?
Our only clothing requirement is closed-toed shoes; however, it is recommended that you wear loose-fitted clothing in order to allow for a full range of movement.
We do carry close-toed shoes for guests who forgot to bring their own, but we cannot guarantee it will suit your size (or style)!
