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. What made this experience even more exciting was the addition of projector targets, including games like zombie knockout. The interactive targets added a new dimension to our axe throwing session, making it both challenging and incredibly fun.

Celebrating Axesgiving and More
I’m excited to share some updates from my axe throwing journey with all of you. The past few months have been filled with exciting events, new experiences, and memorable moments with my axe throwing community at Urban Axes in Austin, TX.
Axesgiving and League Updates
On November 12, 2022, we celebrated “Axesgiving” with part of our axe throwing league, including both current and past members. It was a fantastic gathering, filled with great food and even better company.
Getting Fancy and Going Online
Axe throwing is getting fancy! Urban Axes created an outdoor planter divider for the picnic area, adding a touch of elegance to their setup. Additionally, we’re now streaming our matches online, which allows more people to join in on the fun and excitement, even if they can’t be there in person.
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.
