| - Talk about unique and fun experiences.... Lumberjaxe really forced me out of my "comfort zone," but it ended up being a really great time.
*RECOMMEND* reserving your spot online - since this place is new and it would be hard to walk in and grab a play by the hour. We were able to make a reservation about 2 weeks out (that's how popular it is now) so plan ahead. They required a deposit but the way it worked out, we had a group of six and I made the deposit (the deposit covered my share of the reservation) and then everyone else payed the day of.
This place shares the same building as Cawtawba Brewing, so what we did was meet at Cawtabawa for some pre-axe-throwing drinks to loosen up the nerves and then we headed over early.
You can sign electronic waivers ahead of time to save time, but you can also sign them there. Just remember that once the clock starts on your play time, there's no extending it (if someone is late, people are still getting situated, etc).
You get paired with an Axe Coach. Our groups Axe coach was Reggie and he went through safety, basic throwing techniques, and once we all took turns, he taught us how to play a game. He aslo taught us a one-handed throwing technique and we were off to the running.
The place has it's own bar... probably 6-7 taps and a refrigerator full of cans and bottles.
Our hour went by so quick cause it was very fun, but we all had a good experience. The staff could not have been nicer. Will need to go back.. hopefully I did not catch an axe throwing bug, but my friend's girl friend (also a pastor at a church) was scarily good and hit the bullseye several times....
NOTE: Remember to wear close-toed shoes. You can also bring spectators.... who also have to sign waivers and wear close-toed shoes even though they aren't throwing.
