Axe Throwing: The Basics of a Historic Tradition
Axe throwing is a sport where competitors hurl axes overhand at specific targets in an attempt to score points. Very popular in traditional lumberjack competitions, axe throwing has since branched out to become a cultural phenomenon in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia and elsewhere. The rules are simple: the target is generally 36 inches wide and consists of five four-inch wide rings. The outside ring is worth one point, then the subsequent rings are worth two, three, four and finally five points for the bullseye. The throwing line distance can vary from competition to competition (anywhere from 15-30 feet), but 21 feet is generally the recognized norm. Each player gets five throws.
Some of the most common questions that new axe throwers have include:
- Can anyone throw? Yes. Anyone of moderate fitness, over the age of 8, can be taught to throw an axe – based on our axe masters' assessment. These specialists are always watching and instructing, to ensure maximum safety and fun. MHoA is also ADA-compliant, and the differently abled are welcome to join the fun.
- How many people can each throwing group hold? The throwing alleys may contain no more than 12 people at once. Additional alleys must be booked for larger groups, at 12-people per alley. Special event booking is possible for groups of 24 or more.
- Are there private alleys available? Yes. VIP booking is available for private parties, complete with leather Chesterfield couches in curtained off spaces. VIP booking includes bottomless popcorn and fountain drinks, with drink buzzers for bar access.
- Are non-throwers welcome? Yes. MHoA contains a barbecue restaurant with chef-prepared vegan options, dining areas, a bar and balcony area. And non-throwers can watch the axe-hurling action, space permitting.
Throwing axes were originally used as weapons by soldiers as far back as the Middle Ages. Thrown in an overhand motion, the axe is deliberately forced to rotate in air as it travels toward its intended target. Axe masters and experienced professionals alike generally attempt to hit the bullseye by throwing an axe in a move that contains only one single revolution before the blade strikes the target.
