What are the hours of operation?

We recommend to book on line, email or call to reserve a lane for your group, however we welcome walk-ins and last minute bookings and will do our best to accommodate you

How can I pay?

We accept all forms of payment!

What are the minimum and maximum group sizes for events?

We can host groups as small as 4, and if you're really popular, we Can accommodate up to 300 (depending on current COVID restrictions).

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.

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! If you didn't bring closed toed shoes, we got you covered with cool lumberjack boots available for rent and you get to keep the new socks (trust me we don’t want them back from you).

Do you guys provide all the equipment?

Lets make a deal, you supply the people and we supply the axes, food, drinks and good time. You don't need to worry about bringing any equipment or anything else in.

Can we bring our own axes?

As of January 2018 - we now allow you to bring <a href="https://worldaxethrowingleague.com/axe-throwing-rules/" target="_blank">WATL certified axes</a>. 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 <a href="https://worldaxethrowingleague.com/">The World Axe Throwing League (WATL).</a>

Check out the <a href="https://badaxethrowing.com/axe-throwing-league/">Axe Throwing League.</a> 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 <a href="https://badaxethrowing.com/axe-throwing-rules-and-point-system/">urban axe throwing rules.</a> They are taken directly from WATL - the global governing body for the sport of urban axe throwing.

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 24 hours notice to modify/reschedule events. Any cancellations will be given credit towards a future date, which is valid for 2 years.

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.

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

We have a state of the art sound system and live music on the Bad Axe Stage. Happy to take requests!

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 <a href="https://badaxethrowing.com/how-to-throw-an-axe/">how to throw an axe.</a>

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 are the only Bad Axe Throwing location in Nashville come visit us in other cities as well (location link).
