Would have never picked to do this activity...but we went as a surprise day trip. We Loved it!! We will definitely be going back! De`Jon was an amazing and FUN coach! We had a great time competing against each other at the different games he had us play! De`Jon was informative and attentive to our groups skills (or lack there of).

Booked online but had to wait for a lane as there was only one employee working. Had a good time. Standard for an axe throwing establishment, been to four others in US and Canada. Don't expect fancy décor, but you can throw axes and that's the point.

CrossFit Sworn decided to go axe throwing as an out-of-the-box activity. We had a wonderful time with some friendly competition led by Sarah and Shandi, our Bad Axe coaches. Games were designed to allow those with experience and newbies to participate on a level playing field. Highly recommend for groups and couples.

A great team building night - our local Indy colleagues up against our UK team. Pizza and beers brought in so not an expensive company night out

We opened our batchelorette party at Bad Ax Throwing in Indianapolis. It is near Circle Center Mall. Parking was easy. It is located upstairs which was a surprise. I found the elevator at the end of the party. We were allowed to bring in our own food. We brought some crock pots filled with goodies. A neighboring group had ordered pizza. Bad Ax does offer canned drinks and a few snacks. While I knew it was not going to be posh, it is not even as nice as the rides at a traveling carnival, but we were there to throw axes not admire the decor. We had a personal instructor who not only helped us learn how to throw the ax but also gave us encouragement. She was also our umpire determining the scores of our throws. This is very important if there are competitive folks in the group. If Miss I. Havtawin had a questionable throw, the umpire could call the score before an argument could erupt. We had practice times and team competition. The experience is a bit like going bowling without your own ball. There is a selection of axes of different weights to select for one's throw. I am not sure how sharp the blades are, but I am glad they were not sharp enough to slice anything . By the end of our two hours, everyone had had a moment of glory. It was a fun time. Would I drive the hour to Indianapolis to pay as much as I paid to throw axes again? No. Am I glad I have had the experience of throwing two axes at the same time and scoring with both of them? You betcha!

Had a great experience, they were very nice and accommodating. I will say though, that we checked the schedule online the day before as we were coming in from out of town and it said they were completely full for walk-ins so we almost blew it off but ended up calling just to check and they were like, oh yeah, there should be room. When we got there, we didn't have any issue getting a spot.

13 of us went out to celebrate a couple of Birthdays and we had a blast! For every 6 people you have, they give the birthday person their throws free! Great Deal!

Took about 16 employees. They trained us and we made teams. Just like playing darts, sort of. We competed and had lots of high fives and laughs. Enjoyed a few beers too. Some people I talk to think it is nuts but it turned out to be a good team building/comradery building event.

What a fabulously fun place!
The concept is brilliant, the staff is knowledgeable and cheerful, the games are perfect

We came in, with reservations, as a group of 6. We were there for 2.5 hours. During that time we learned four axe throwing methods, played three games, did a lot of heckling, and got a good workout.

Good for stress relief, visualization, and arm strength
