Axe Throwing Session in Bristol

Try your hand at axe throwing with a fun, instructor-led session that’s perfect for first-timers and groups. You’ll get to throw a range of axes, from mini hawks (also known as throwing angels) to Tomahawks, while learning safe and accurate throwing techniques under the guidance of qualified marshals. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or looking to beat your friends, this activity combines focus, skill, and plenty of friendly competition.

Key Details

• Location: Bristol
• Duration: 1.5 hours (up to 2 hours for larger groups)
• Group size: Up to 30 people (maximum 4 per target)
• Minimum age: 16 (16–17s must be accompanied by an adult)

What to Expect

The session begins with a full introduction and safety briefing, where you’ll get to know your instructor and the equipment. You’ll start by practising with mini hawks to get a feel for the motion and grip, then progress to throwing Tomahawks as your confidence builds. With 10 targets available, smaller groups will often enjoy a target to themselves, while larger groups share at a ratio of up to four people per target.

Once everyone is comfortable, it’s time for the games. Take on a series of challenges designed to test your accuracy and timing, from simple scoring rounds to trickshot competitions. As you improve, you’ll learn to adjust your stance and technique to hit the target more consistently. If the session reaches its maximum of 30 people, the time is extended to 2 hours to make sure everyone gets their fair share of throws. At the end, you’ll finish with a final round to see who tops the scoreboard.

For those looking to extend their experience, you can upgrade your booking to include knife throwing for an extra 30 minutes (£10) or try the 2-hour Ultimate Throwing Package (£45), open to adults aged 18 and over. This upgrade gives you the chance to use a wider range of specialist throwing equipment for an even more varied session.
