Essential Rules for Axe Throwing

Before you step up to the throwing lane, it is important to familiarize yourself with some basic rules to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

1. Safety First

  • Wear Closed-Toed Shoes: This is a must! Open-toed footwear is a no-go for your safety.
  • Listen to Your Instructor: Always pay attention to safety briefings and follow the guidance of your Axe Master.

2. Throwing Technique

  • Grip: Hold the axe with both hands, fingers wrapped around the handle. Keep your grip firm but relaxed.
  • Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, one foot slightly forward. This gives you stability and balance.
  • Aim: Focus on your target and visualize where you want the axe to hit before you throw.

3. Throwing Rules

  • One Throw at a Time: Only one person throws at a time. Wait for your turn and ensure the area is clear before throwing.
  • Stay Behind the Foul Line: Always stand behind the designated line when throwing.
  • No Climbing: Never climb or lean over the barriers in the throwing area.

4. Respect the Venue

  • Keep it Clean: Dispose of any trash properly and respect the facilities.
  • No Horseplay: Axe throwing is fun, but safety comes first. Avoid running or engaging in roughhousing in the throwing area.

5. Have fun!

  • Enjoy the Experience: Axe throwing is all about having a great time, so embrace the excitement and challenge yourself!
