What should I wear for axe throwing?

Wear comfortable clothing suitable for a sporting event. Closed-toed shoes are required for safety; open-toed shoes, sandals, or flip-flops are not permitted.

How do you ensure safety during axe throwing?

Safety is our top priority. It's a controlled environment, and all participants receive mandatory training before entering the throwing pits. Our coaches monitor the games, and we reserve the right to terminate sessions without refund if rules are not followed.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can reschedule and transfer your deposit with at least 24 hours' notice. For a refund or deposit transfer, cancellations must be made 48 hours or more in advance.

How long do axe throwing sessions last?

Sessions for groups of 5 or more are approximately two hours. For groups of 4 or less, you can reserve a pit for one hour. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early as sessions start promptly with training.

Will my group have a private lane?

Your lane is designated for your group only, so you won't have to share with strangers. However, lanes are side-by-side, so other groups will be nearby.

How many people can throw on one lane?

A single lane can accommodate a maximum of 5 throwers. The booking system will automatically assign the appropriate number of lanes for your group size.

What if I forget to wear closed-toe shoes?

Closed-toe shoes are required for safety. If you forget yours, we have "almost-famous orange crocs" and fresh socks available for you to borrow.

Is an advance payment required for reservations?

A 50% deposit is required to secure your reservation, as we are a small venue with limited lanes. This guarantees your space, and walk-ins are accommodated only if space is available.

What is the policy for group no-shows?

If you provide at least 24 hours' notice, we can issue a gift card. We cannot issue refunds for last-minute no-shows as your reservation held space that others could have used.

What if my group arrives late for our reservation?

Please call us as soon as you know you'll be late. We will try to adjust your start time if possible without affecting other reservations, but we cannot guarantee it. Your session may still end at its originally scheduled time.

How do I cancel my reservation?

You can receive a gift card if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. Please call, text, or email us as soon as you know you need to cancel.

Can I change my reservation day or time?

Please give us at least 24 hours' notice to change your reservation. The new time will depend on availability. If you don't know your new time yet, we can issue a gift card for future booking.

Can I still participate if I've never thrown an axe before?

Absolutely! All first-timers receive coaching on proper safety measures and throwing techniques to ensure you'll be sticking axes in no time.

Do I need to make a reservation in advance?

While reservations are highly recommended to guarantee your desired time, walk-ins are welcome based on availability. Our staff can inform you of open slots.
