Learn how to throw axes in Edinburgh!
Overview
Inclusions
- Axes and Targets!
What to expect
After a warm welcome to our axe-cellent venue, we will jump right into a safety briefing. This covers how to stay safe, scoring and competition rules (we can't have any cheating at crunch time can we?).
Then it is to the reason you guys are all here, the AXES! We'll run through the basic technique, how to hold and how to throw the axe. Once we're through this, it is down to you to have a go! The instructor will be on hand throughout the session, watching your throw, offering advice on how you can improve. What is really important to us is that you start to understand your own technique so when you finally leave, you're a fully fledged axe ninja!
Once the basics are out of the way it's quickly onto a wide selection of new throws, double-handed, throwing with the axe head facing backwards, throwing 2 axes at once. These will all help you to develop a strong technique in time for ..the team COMPETITION! Pit your skills against the others in your group, competition mode always brings out some strong axe game!
Finally to end our glorious hour of axe throwing, we will take a group picture! (As long as everyone consents to the picture).
