Have you ever done axe throwing?

I think I tried it once at a Renaissance festival. I keep getting Group on ads for some axe throwing place in the city. I think one of the keys is throwing it very hard to get it to stick. I think you would really have to step into the throw. Have you tried it, would you do it?

I have always wanted to try it. It looks like a lot of fun. Oh wait, snowy. You just gave me an idea on what to maybe do for my birthday!

I have never done it. It is not on my wish list. I have done some knife throwing.

Axes are heavy. I have not thrown one but I have chopped a lot of wood when I was much younger.

They actually use hatchets I believe.

No and no. I heard that there is a certain technique involved. Not my type of fun.

No, I have not tried it. I think the axe would be heavy for me to carry.

You don't carry it you just hold it while you aim your throw. They are more like hatchets actually, heavy but not overwhelming.

I did and it took a jury a long time to decide it wasn't intentional

I have tried it at the Renaissance Festival too. I wasn't good at it, but I liked it though.

I don't think I've heard of it before now. It sounds fun.

I've done it twice. Had a great time! I would certainly do it again.

It seems like a fun activity. I will think about the Groupon thing. It would be cheaper at the Renaissance Festival, but they charge way too much for food there. Seen it, done it...got the Tshirt.

I've never tried it and couldn't because of my screwed up shoulders.

I haven’t ever tried it. Never even considered doing that. I saw it in the same place as you did, a Renaissance Festival., probably about ten years ago.

I would do it for fun. It would be a bummer if none of the axes went in though. One must import power with their throws!

@snowy22315 I had a bad accident with an axe ( it was being used by someone else) when I was a little girl. I've used an axe of course, to help chop wood at times, etc. but to throw them for entertainment is not something I ever want to do. I will leave that up to you!

I've never done it, but I think it's something that could be fun to try and do. I am totally open to trying this.
