Axe throwing. Yep, you read it right. Picking up an axe and hurling it at a target in a safe and fun environment. Axe throwing. Never heard of it before? Well for all those axe throwing newbies, here are 6 reasons why it’s fast becoming a hotly pursued new pastime:

1. It’s a fantastic way to spend an afternoon with loved ones

It’s important to remember that when you go to an official axe throwing facility, or hire a mobile axe throwing unit to visit a location of your choice, every safety measure that can possibly be taken, is done so to ensure the safety of everyone in attendance, even children (age restrictions apply). So, it’s actually a safe and very fun way to spend an afternoon with family and/or friends, and many workplaces also organize it to help strengthen bonds and relationships between coworkers.

2. You can learn a new (albeit, pretty niche!) skill

The best way to keep your brain active and your boredom levels under control, is by learning new skills, and quite frankly, you can never learn enough, no matter what age you are. When it comes to axe throwing, while becoming a master might take a lot of practice (and you may never achieve masterdom), it’s absolutely possible to develop your own techniques and ways of throwing the axe that make you pretty good at it, and it isn’t always about how string you are, either.

3. It gives you the opportunity to nurture your inner competitor

A little competition is healthy, and even if you don’t decide to compete in any of the tournaments organized by the axe throwing venue, there’s nothing to stop you competing on a friendly level (mostly friendly, at least!) with your pals or family members.

4. You can vent your frustrations!

What better way to get rid of unwanted frustrations, stress and even mild anger, than by grasping an axe firmly by the handle and throwing it with all your might! Giving you a safe and friendly space to let off a little pent-up steam, who needs yoga or meditation when you can pick up an axe and throw it?

5. Teams can build together

Whether you want to build a strong relationship with your team at work, or not, the indisputable evidence points towards teamwork, making the dream work. Hence, if your team isn’t gelling so well and productivity is at an all-time low, a spot of friendly but competitive axe throwing could do the trick and bring everyone that bit closer together!

6. Axe throwing is fun!

Unique, fun and not something you get to do every day of the year, axe throwing is a fantastic pastime for anyone looking to beat the boredom doldrums and simply unwind and have fun.

There are doubtless even more reasons why axe throwing is such a fantastically popular pastime, but we think the above 6 are enough to get you flexing those axe-wielding muscles!
