Rowdy, competitive and open to anyone. Thirty throwers, one champion.
Join the axe throwing tournament
Want more than a friendly throw?
The Axe-O tournament is two hours of hosted, scored, slightly unhinged competition. Up to 30 throwers book in, solo, as a pair or as a whole crew, and we pair everyone into teams on the day. Then it is a round robin, a leaderboard the whole range is watching, and a sudden-death final.
It gets loud. You will be high-fiving people you met twenty minutes ago and plotting revenge on the lane next door. That is the point. 🪓
Come solo. Leave with a team and a few new rivals.
Booking on your own is completely normal here. Our host builds the teams on the day, mixes the first timers in with the regulars, and gets everyone coached before a single point counts.
By the final, the whole range is cheering for somebody. Make sure it is you.
