Axe Throwing with Family

Today, I’m excited to share a couple of memorable experiences I had recently: axe throwing with my family to celebrate both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day! Join me as I recount these fun-filled adventures.

Mother’s Day Celebration

On Mother’s Day, instead of the usual brunch or dinner, my mom had a unique idea—axe throwing! We headed to a local axe throwing venue to celebrate, and it turned out to be an exhilarating and memorable experience. Both my mom and stepdad surprised us all with their skills, especially Richard, who managed a clutch “7pt” shot! It was a fantastic way to celebrate Mother’s Day with laughter, friendly competition, and a touch of adventure.

Father’s Day Excitement

For Father’s Day, I continued the tradition of unconventional celebrations by taking my dad axe throwing. It was his first time trying this activity, and he did remarkably well.

Urban Axe Throwing League

One of the athletic hobbies I picked up while living in South Austin during the pandemic was axe throwing! I enjoyed my axe throwing experiences when I went on dates. But then it hit me, I can do axe throwing without dates and have fun on my own. That’s when I decided to join an axe throwing league at Urban Axes Austin.

I initially started off like most amateur throwers, with a double handed overhead throw. I was decently fair at this throwing style. Over time I noticed the seasoned leagues and professionals honed their throwing style to just single handed. So I decided to make the switch and deal with the learning curve.
