Axe throwing is a recreational activity where participants throw an axe at a wooden target, aiming for accuracy and precision. It has gained popularity as a fun and competitive sport, often enjoyed in groups or as part of events like birthday parties and team-building exercises. Typically, players stand a few feet away from the target and throw the axe in a controlled manner. The targets are usually made of softwood, allowing the axe to embed itself upon impact. Safety measures, such as protective gear and trained instructors, are often in place to ensure a safe experience for all participants.
