I am currently enrolled in a college business class and our final project is coming up. We must create an in depth business plan of our choice. I have chosen to create an ‘adventure park’ (Go karting, paintball, axe throwing, etc. in one location).

I haven’t been able to locate much information on the industry, so I have several questions:

1. How many questions do you see on a monthly basis? a. How much revenue do they bring in?

2. What does upkeep cost look like? (Axe sharpening, repurchasing boards, etc.)

3. Do you add anything (Projections, liquor, etc.) to the raw axe throwing experience to keep guests engaged?

I understand if you cannot answer every question, but any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

I got about a 8-10in thk x ~24" dia. "cookie" from a tree that was just cut down. Anyone else ever have one and treated the wood with anything?

I made this handle for a friend. Flying Fox head, sheath made by 101 Acres. Wood is burly maple, purpleheart, padauk, cocobolo, and walnut on core of hickory. Now it just needs a name, suggestions?

I hate drop in handles, so I did something about it. I put in a spring steel roll pin, peened it so it won't slip out, torched the handle, sealed it with boiled linseed oil, and made a leather handle guard. It throws great and it's solid as a rock.

So recently I went to a ComiCon convention here in South Africa and there was an axe throwing cart. I joined my cousins and paid for 2 throws. I was the last one to go and asked the helper for advice. He said to throw when the arm is straight, and the aim with the pointy end bit of the axe. I readied myself thinking I'd flop and got a Bullseye.

I threw my axe again and it hit the ring outside the bullseye. Sadly, no one was recording😫.

I wanna know if this is common or not because it might be a good hobby for me.

I’ve been practicing throwing with both my hands at the same time and finally got both clutches at the same time.

Hello,

I am on my second season in league, playing Premiers. I am using colds teel 90AXF, but thinging about changes. Due to long head it is good for clutches, but not for regular points throwing. What other axe do you recommend? I am interested in ~50euro price range

Are there any particular vintage hatchets that are very close to a 4" bit, for IATF clutches? A lot of the carpenter's hatchets (half hatchets, hammer hatchets) seem to be 3.5 inches. While there's some broad or hewing hatchets that that are more like 4.5 (a lot to grind down) but also very thick (a lot to grind down). And if it's a hewing hatchet it may not be symmetric viewed from the top, as they're typically flat on one side.

Is a Warriors Plumb ok for clutches? I have a handle being made for me but am wondering if I should choose a different head.

My son (29) bought his first house and put a Throwing Area in his new backyard. I want to buy him a really nice axe for his birthday. Any advice on brands etc?

I have been wanting to try throwing an axe for a while. I have tried to go out a few times, but it seems to always be "league night."
Bought some cheap axes on Amazon and found a crate by a dumpster. Hooked!

I decided to build an end grain Target. The end result looks really good, but after a few throws I'm wondering if I did something wrong in the process. For the axe to stick, I noticed that the whole block of wood has to split as well. Is this normal? The axe I'm using is a simple hatchet from the hardware store (~20€). 40cm length and 800g weight

I wet the wood before throwing. I don't think I am throwing too hard, with less power the axe does scratches to the target.

Maybe wrong type of wood?(Gosh I hope not...)

I've propped it against a cabinet door so that handle is close to perpendicular. The head is clearly mounted at an angle, as only the blade end is touching the shelf. Other Ace axes don't look like this. The blade itself is more curved and recedes more at the top than any other photos. And the top of the axe head seems concave where in other online photos the top of the axe head looks dead flat. I didn't expect this much variation in their axes.

Blade is about 3-1/4" and the head measured along the top is about 6-1/2"

I haven't thrown it yet, so I don't know how it throws. One could argue that, for axe throwing, this is actually a slight improvement? Under-rotation will put the chin out more and over rotation will still put an edge on the wood? I'm knew at this so I'm sort of guessing.

FYI, this together with the Collins 1.75 only set me back $42 including shipping. Am I allowed to mention retailers here? It's basically the only reputable place that still has new Ace half hatchets for sale. Although if there's a lot of variation in the ace hatchets it's kind of a gamble, and you might be better off buying something in person. And I'm already starting to gravitate to heavier axes.

(And by the way the Collins showed up with a 14-5/8" handle to top of the head. I'd heard they're shorter than advertised but that is even shorter than I expected. Still probably need to trim it, we'll see when I throw.)

I have a habit of under rotating my axe and am already standing quite a bit further back from the black line. Does anyone recommend anything that I should do to stop under rotating? Should I choke up on the handle? I am at a loss as to what to change.

I want to make a target for my wife and I to mess around with in the back yard and I have some 6x6 lumber I was trying to get rid of anyway, so I thought I'd use that. I was wondering what the best thickness would be to cut the squares? I have enough wood that I don't need to be stingy, but at the same time, I don't want it overdo it for no reason and make it too heavy. I was thinking maybe 4 inches, but I'm open to suggestions

Okay, hi new here and to axe throwing in general. Just purchased a new axe, The Butcher, from world of axe throwing. A lot of people from league were talking about how it looks like the head is mounted funny on the handle. Looking for responses on handle replacement in general and what people like preferably this axe specifically. Also if you have a gen 3 Butcher is this similar to how your is mounted, anything helps thanks in advance.

Just made my first backyard axe target, have the backboard and base set up but need to find good target wood. Haven’t found any luck for cotton wood or poplar in local mills, one mill was selling one poplar 1” by 12” by 8’ foot board for 50$ a piece so I don’t really want to go that route. What type of board can I buy at Home Depot that will be good for the target. I see kiln dried poplar and pine but I am wondering if it will work still since it is kiln dried

Here's the WATL 24 target template. It's pretty close to accurate; should do just fine for anyone besides people running official leagues. PDF is a printable version and when finished should measure just shy of 18 inches. I've included the .ai file but if anyone wants a different filetype let me know and I'll add it in there if I have the software to get that for you.
