Whether you’re in need of a unique date night idea or simply looking for something fun to do with the kids this weekend, axe throwing might be a perfect activity for you.
This target sport, which has gained massive popularity in recent years, involves throwing an axe at a target 10 to 12 feet away in an attempt to hit the bull’s-eye — the closer you get to it, the better you score.
