FAQ

HOW DOES THE AXE THROWING WORK?

It's like Darts, but Extreme! Once everyone successfully sticks an axe, we'll teach you some games like 21, Countdown, Around the World, Cornhole, Humans vs Zombies, Killers/Cutthroat and more! You can play 1 v 1, 2 v 2, 3 v 3, etc. We'll also teach you how to play a World Axe Throwing League (WATL) Match and you can go for the high score!

DO WE GET THE AXE LANES TO OURSELVES?

If you book as a group (8 or more), you are guaranteed to one enclosed axe pit with two dedicated lanes.

WHO CAN THROW AXES?

The minimum age is 13; 17 and under must be accompanied by a supervising adult. If a teen group event is booked (8 or more) at least 1 adult for every 10 teens must be present in the axe arenas. Both men and women throw axes equally well.

IS THE AXE THROWING SAFE?

Coliseum X works very hard to provide a safe environment for our guests. Our Sentries coach participants on safety rules and actively monitor the axe throwing to ensure all rules are followed and reinforced. We've never had an injury from a flying axe and our lanes were designed to comply with the World Axe Throwing League (WATL) standards.

IS THERE ANY SPECIAL AXE THROWING TRAINING?

Yes!! We spend whatever time is necessary to ensure you stick an axe. We teach two-handed throwing first (the easiest) and if you want to try one-handed, we'll train that, too.

IS AXE THROWING HARD?

That is a hard question to answer, and "it depends." It's all about form, not strength. If you can throw a ball with some skill, you will pick this up quickly. Many people learn to stick in their first 5 throws. Some take longer, but no one has left without sticking an axe. The owners' Moms are both 70+ and both learned how to stick their first time. The local Mom had her 70th birthday party here and beat some of her grandkids!

ARE THE AXES REAL?

You betcha! They aren't sharp enough to shave or cut on contact, but they will stick into a board with a solid throw.

WHAT AXE EQUIPMENT DO I NEED TO PARTICIPATE?

Comfortable clothes and a pair of closed-toe shoes (athletic shoes recommended).

DO I NEED TO RENT AXES?

We provide everything you need except the closed-toe shoes. If you forget a pair, we can loan you some Crocs and we have socks for sale (thanks, but we don't want them back!). If you would like to store your personal items, we do have locker rentals available.

CAN I ENJOY ALCOHOL WHEN THROWING AXES?

Yes, but no double fisting! All food and beverage must be consumed outside the axe throwing pits. We do not overserve and all axe throwing is monitored in-person and on video. Be responsible, be an adult and have fun!

I HAVE A PHYSICAL DISABILITY, CAN I THROW AXES?

We hope so! We've had throwers in wheelchairs, on crutches, in casts, and pregnant. Please call us to discuss or to arrange a free tour - we'll figure it out together!
