axe throwing

Lumberjack bar sport

Axe throwing is a recreational activity and competitive sport in which participants hurl axes at wooden targets, aiming to stick the blade in scoring zones similar to archery or darts.

Once limited to lumberjack competitions and outdoor skills demonstrations, it has become an urban entertainment phenomenon, with dedicated venues offering lanes for casual throwing alongside food and drinks.

We went axe throwing for her birthday.

The spelling ax throwing is equally common.
