Chatham County’s original axe-throwing venue, whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to
the game, Chatham Axes offers an unforgettable experience for groups of all sizes.
Lane time includes a coach to get you sticking bullseyes in minutes. Reserve online or walk in.
10+ throwers · 2 hours · multiple outdoor lanes running side by side.
This is our mobile throwing unit — caged lanes, targets, axes, and a coach, all on wheels. We pull up, set up, and your guests are sticking bullseyes in minutes. All it needs is level ground and room to park.
Birthdays, weddings, team building, festivals, family reunions — if there's a crowd, we'll bring the throw to them.
$550 for 2 hours · $750 for 3 hours — caged lanes, targets, axes and a coach included.
Your coach walks you through this on the lane — here's the short version, outdoors, before you even pick up a hatchet.
Two hands on the handle, blade facing the target. Loose grip, relaxed shoulders — you're not choking it.
Feet shoulder-width apart, facing the target dead-on. Raise the axe straight overhead, elbows in.
Rock forward, bring the axe overhead and through in one fluid motion. Let go at eye level — don't muscle it.
The axe does the work — a clean release lets it spin naturally and stick blade-first. Adjust your distance, not your effort.
Safety basics, every session: closed-toe shoes, stay behind the throw line until it's your turn, and a coach is on the lane with you the whole time — first throw to last.
Our coaches are experienced, skilled professionals who instruct every participant on proper technique and safety for this adrenaline-pumping activity.
Food's available through on-site vendors for your convenience. We ask that you respect our no outside food-or-drink policy inside the venue, so it stays clean for everyone.
Unparalleled fun with 10 or more. We allocate a full 2 hours, guaranteeing a spacious, exhilarating axe-throwing adventure for the whole group.
We wholeheartedly welcome walk-ons — swing by anytime for an unforgettable axe-throwing adventure. Reservations are encouraged for a guaranteed spot.
Safety takes center stage at our venue, fostering a secure atmosphere that amplifies the fun and makes sure everyone leaves with a good story.
That's straight from a Chatham Axes review — and it's the same energy every session runs on. Come for the throw, stay for the coaches who make sure you leave having actually stuck one.
Our Pittsboro lanes live at The Plant — and the eating’s good steps from the throw line. (No outside food or drink in the throwing area; with these neighbors you won’t need it.)
