| - You don't need a major case of PMS or court-mandated anger management classes to enjoy a trip to Axe Monkeys- just grab some friends and some closed-toe shoes and get your throwing arm ready. If you've been to a shooting range, it's axe-actly like that, but with wooden targets and a quartet of blades.
Prices are reasonable with several discounts available (local ID, BOGO mailers, Groupon, Yelp checkin), options for 1 or 2 hour sessions, and add-ons like shoe rental, custom targets, and specialty weapons (Chinese throwing stars, for example). Staff provide safety details and a mini-lesson (Bobby was awesome!), then you get to have at it.
Several reviews say that an hour was sufficient for a first visit, but that's when I felt like I was finally getting into a good rhythm. Don't be surprised if you don't nail it, throwing axes at targets apparently takes chops: I got 4 axes in my first visit and was told that's good. If you really love it, they even have a league! Makes a great group activity, looking forward to bringing back a group of coworkers for a team building exercise.
