WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE FOR HATCHET THROWING?
HOW DOES PLAYING START?
After about 10-15 minutes of training, most guests are hitting the target and honing in on the bullseye. When the group feels ready, it is encouraged to try a variety of hatchet and axe throwing target games. Instructions are in the pit, or you can ask a throwing coach. Want a head start on things? Check out the games here!
