When was the last time you said, “I wanna throw an axe!”? Don your best lumberjack gear and hiking boots (or any sturdy closed-toe shoe) and head to Reno Axe, where you can test your skills with the sport of axe throwing. Don’t axe it until you try it!

This is not only fun; you may be surprised at how therapeutic it can be—burning off any angst in your work-week bones. Pros are on site to give you the lowdown with plentiful tips on how to safely throw an axe and how to avoid “axedents.” You’ve got an hour, and your own lane for your group, so enjoy the music and some hearty laughs amid healthy competition. A cold beer from the bar helps, too. Sit back on their patio and relAxe with a pint.
