You can try your hand at the age-old art of axe throwing. There are few things more satisfying than throwing an axe and hearing the thud as it embeds itself into your target block! The axe throwing experience is perfect for all abilities and is a fun-filled activity based on ancient hunting and warcraft.
Your instructor will take you through everything you need to know in order to be successfully and accurately throw an axe. The first order of the day will involve taking you through the safety aspects and rules that will need to be followed during your adventure activity. The instructor will then demonstrate various throwing techniques which will allow you to hit that bulls-eye. It will then be your turn to unleash your inner barbarian and start throwing!
Your session will include the use of three traditional axe types; the Viking Norse Axe, the Scout Axe and the Mountain Man Axe.
The Vikings were renowned for using axes during their raids and battles across Europe. Nowadays axes are thrown only in competition, the majority of which are held in North America and Scandinavia; however such events are now being held in the UK. Axe Throwing is a sport that is rapidly growing throughout the UK and we are delighted to be able to offer this unique experience at our Somerset location.
