For my 25th birthday I decided I wanted to try something new. I'm over going to the club and dropping it like it's hot. I want to throw some axes! I know sounds super dangerous especially since it's BYOB but they have many safety precautions to ensure no one looses a limb.
I'm not going to lie, the first time holding an axe was a bit intimidating. Throwing an axe is not something most people can say they have done. You are basically going against what common sense tells you to do. I mean we were all taught not to run with scissors, now I am spiralling an axe towards a board. Pretty bad ass feeling if I do say so myself. Every group comes with coaches to get you started then they organize a competition with point scores and narrate with microphones. Totally worth 45 dollars a person! Each area comes with a fridge and table so I brought pop, alcohol, food and cutlery. I saw one station and they had a slow cooker plugged in. How smart!
Everyone here is so nice. The staff is so friendly it makes you want to work there. The company was started by two brothers that started it in their garage I believe. They personally came up and introduced themselves and wished me happy birthday. As I walked around other staff members started wishing me happy birthday. It was truly a unique experience. It's rare to experience hospitality like that.
This was definitely one of my favourite birthdays! There were a lot of people who were reluctant to try axe throwing but by the end everyone had a great time and said they would come again.
