"So much fun!!"

We came for a birthday. Youngest in the group was 27; oldest was 61. We reserved time as a group so we got an instructor which was really helpful in learning how to throw and in teaching us games. Truly had such a great time and plan to return. Cool people and a good time.

"Fun for all ages"

Went to Bad Axe in Fresno during opening weekend and had a blast! Our group varied in age from 13 to 44 and we all loved it! It doesn’t take too long to get the hang of it and then the coaches showed us how to do a couple trick shots with two axes. I...Read full review

"Excellent experience"

The place is awesome! We are visiting from KY. We liked it so much that we came back for our family reunion. The Axe Master Steven was so awesome. He was very patient in showing us different ways to throw the axe. I recommended this place for our friends and family in the area. We’ve...Read full review

"Dad's Night Out"

As a group (Fresno Dads Group) we had such a great time throwing axes, being challenged with trick shots and competing against each other. Our throwing coach, Steve, was so much fun and so enthusiastic, which made our night even better. We will be back!

"Challenge, danger, skill, victory, defeat; great fun!"

We tried it as a dads only events evening and I loved it much more than I thought. Not as easy as it looks in videos but with simple insulation and time it’s really awesome. Be sure not to come from the bar or byob, they’ll bounce back at you!

FAQs

Click to Expand

What are the hours of operation?

If you'd like to make a booking, group events are by appointment only. But we also offer occasional walk-in sessions. Make sure to scroll down and check out our walk in calendar in advance to see when you can come hang out!

How can I pay?

We're a cashless business - not in the sense that we're completely broke, but we only accept credit cards on-site. This means no dinero por favor. AMEX, Visa, Mastercard are gladly accepted. Diner's Cards are too, if anyone still uses them.

What are the minimum and maximum group sizes for events?

We can host groups as small as 6, and if you're really popular, we can accommodate up to 70 of your family and friends!

Can I get a deal if I pay cash?

This isn't a garage sale! Kidding - sorta. Being the good citizens that we are, we "like" to pay our taxes. So unfortunately cash/money won't get you hooked up.

When should I book? How far in advance?

It depends on how much you love the person! haha! But seriously, if you are looking to book on a weekend, then you should book at least 4 weeks in advance. If you are looking to book on a weekday, then you should book at least 1-2 weeks in advance. It all depends: summer time has a bit more flexibility, any other time is pretty busy.

How long does axe throwing take?

An axe throwing event should take about 2 hours. Get your chops in less than half an hour then stick bullseyes for the rest.

View all Fresno FAQ's

Can I come with a couple of friends or with a date?

Heck ya, bring your mom too! Whether it's you and the gang or you and your better half, we'd love for you to come hang out with us! Keep in mind that we have minimum group sizes if you'd like to book in a group. That allows us to schedule in a dedicated axe throwing coach to teach you the Jedi ways of axe throwing. If you have a much smaller group, you can check out our walk-ins or even contact us directly.

What should I wear?

Nothing! Clothes are so overrated. But if you insist, we suggest you wear something comfortable, as in, NO HIGH HEELS. Wear something you'd wear if you wanted to ruin someone's wedding - close-toed shoes, a comfortable shirt you can throw stuff in, and comfy pants. Heck, wear plaid! Yes, make everyone wear plaid!

Do you guys provide all the equipment?

Lets make a deal, you supply the food, drinks and people, we supply the axes and good time. You don't need to worry about bringing any equipment or anything else in - just your party and whatever snacks you want to bring along with you.

Can we bring our own axes?

As of January 2018 - we now allow you to bring WATL certified axes. That means you can't bring in double-bit axes or ninja stars, but hatchets and axes that are compliant with WATL rules.

Can we take pictures or videos?

Please do! We love seeing pictures of you having fun at Bad Axe! On Instagram, we give away monthly prizes for free axe throwing - just make sure you tag us #badaxethrowing #axethrowing

Do you guys have a league?

YES we do! We're a part of The World Axe Throwing League (WATL).

Check out the Axe Throwing League. section of our website to sign up. It's only $15/week and you get to compete against local axe throwers and people all over the world. NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!

What are the axe throwing rules?

The rules will be explained to you during the orientation speech prior to your event.

Can't wait? Check out our post on urban axe throwing rules. They are taken directly from WATL - the global governing body for the sport of urban axe throwing.

Is there an age limit?

We've had 8 year olds throw axes and kick axe. We don't have a set age limit, but there is a strength restriction. If we feel that a person is not strong enough to throw the axe in a safe manner, then it wont make sense to allow them to throw.

What if I have to cancel? What’s your policy?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Just don't. Don't do it. You'll regret not coming in. But if you have to, we require a 2 week cancellation notice in order to receive a refund on your deposit.

Can we bring our own food?

Only if you bring us some! #WillWorkForFood

The real answer is: Yes! You can cater in, order or have your mother drop off some cookies and milk. It's all included in your entry fee - feel free to bring your own food.

Do you guys supply plates, forks and knives?

Unfortunately not. :(
We don't supply any eating utensils, but if we have any stored away from a previous group that left them, you're more than welcome to use it. Best to play it safe and bring your own utensils though.

Do you guys have a fridge to put drinks?

What kind of animals would we be if we didn't?! We have mini-fridges that you're more than welcome to use to store drinks and food during your event. But if you leave them behind, they're all mine! Muhahaha.

Do you guys have music or should we bring our own?

We have bluetooth speakers we use and can hook up your phone to it or we can hook up ours to get the tunes going. If you have some jams you want to listen to, we can play any specific kind of music you like. Just ask your awesome axe throwing coach!

Will someone show us how to throw the axe before we start?

Our talented and amazing axe throwing coaches will be there to help teach you and hone in on making tweaks to your technique so you can properly throw an axe. There will be a brief orientation at the beginning of your event where you'll be shown how to throw an axe.

Can people come and just watch or do they have to pay still?

We get a lot of these requests and if they're not throwing and just want to hang out with you guys, while being the odd-person standing in the corner by themselves, not enjoying the fun and watching everyone else have the time of their life while they drown in regret, we would be happy to have them come in and cheer their friends & fam at no additional cost.

Is it safe? Has anyone ever gotten hurt?

If loosing a limb counts as being safe, then yes! It's totally "safe". We get axed this question all the time, usually by people who have never done it before or never heard of it before. Urban axe throwing is completely safe. We have never had anyone hurt or injured in any way. It is completely safe and once you do it, you'll potentially hate yourself for questioning our awesome sport.

Are there any other locations I can visit?

We can host groups as small as 6, and if you're really popular, we can accommodate up to 70 of your family and friends!

How can I book an axe throwing event?

You're in luck! Keep scrolling down until you hit the calendar availability. Pick a date, pick a time, enter your details and we'll book you in. You can book your event online, on this very page!
