Axe Throwing!: My New Adventure of the Month: August (2022)

Yep, you read that right!

I don’t remember how it came up, but I just remember my girl-friend kind of sarcastically asking me (probably because she thought I would say hell no!) if I would ever go axe throwing and I said “Hell Yes, I have always wanted to try that!” and her excited but surprised response “really?!” said it all — it was on!

Firstly, we decided to reserve in advance and good thing we did because upon our arrival another group came in and there wasn’t anything available.

Secondly, upon arrival we had to read and sign a waiver in order to participate — pretty standard, but I couldn’t help but laugh at one of the warnings. It was so blatantly and plainly written ‘death’ that I just found it amuzing.

Thirdly, we did have a guide who took us threw not only safety, but also how to throw and a couple different games/challenges we could play. Interestingly enough, he hadn’t had a leftie all week I think he said and we had 2 in our group.

They teach throwing with two hands but he was also willing to show us single hand but that it was much more difficult — we could all do it :)

It was another fun new adventure that was not only liberating and empowering but also highly satisfying. It was such a sense of accomplishment. I cannot wait to go back and feel like a badass.

Yes… once again I cut off the heads, but you see the axes and that’s what really matters 🤪

If it is something you have thought about and wanted to try, I say go for it! Go somewhere and learn how to throw that axe safely, accurately, and with pride — you can do it!

I would argue that you will not only have a good time, but you will feel good about yourself when you stick the blade of that axe into the wall of wood. It can probably help reduce your stress and perhaps anger — improving your health, well-being, mindset and attitude, as well as empower your confidence. At least, it did that for me. Plus a good fun night out is always a blessing — I am grateful ❤
