"Went with a buddy of mine, had a great time! It was very fun we got to throw axes as well as hand made throwing knives and stars! Would go again. Very good price for what you get, and they even teach you how to throw!"

"A great family experience for all ages. You can throw axes, or even forge your very own knife AND take it home the same exact day!! My eight-year-old forged and loved the entire experience."

"Friendly and knowledgeable. I had a pleasant time talking with Dustin. I enjoyed myself even though I couldn't get my first few throwing stars to stay in the target. I look forward to returning to try are throwing next time. Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes for safety in case of bounce back. Steel toes not necessary but recommended."
