Brighton Axe Throwing

Thought you'd seen every kind of target sport a stag weekend could muster? Think again! Brighton's come over all Game of Thrones, and you're going to feel the benefits. Put down your air rifles and step away from your paintball markers, chaps. It's time to chuck some axes at a tree.

Seriously? You damn right. Real men don't use gunpowder, or air compression. They flex their muscles and unleash barbarian fury, in the shape of competition standard throwing axes. Perfectly weighted and absolutely lethal, these terrifyingly sharp weapons are the ultimate in adrenaline rushes.

Here's how it works. Your expert coaches will lead you through the basics, including how to handle throwing axes without accidentally cutting your own head off. Dude, you've got to respect anyone who can hurl a throwing axe into a target. They'll teach you to balance the weapon carefully before release, and to move the potential power in your shoulder through the arm and out into the arc of the throw. Watch in awe as your axe flips head over handle all the way to the target, and embeds itself with a satisfying "thud"!

Barely a weapon's chuck away from the middle of Brighton, this awesome activity takes place in a woodland arena filled with hand carved wooden targets. You have to. You just have to.
