Axe Throwing League

[Steve Tall]

Forget bowling.
Forget darts.

"...growing in popularity since it began in founder Matt Wilson’s backyard in 2007. Now, his company is struggling to accommodate more than 300 league players and 40 private events a week between just two locations... He is also in talks with a corporate partner about expanding into at least three other locations in other cities in the next five years..."

Nice! Not meant to be thrown but at least chopping axes that 'take flight' make your presence known. Ontario Lands and Forests foreman Charlie Molyneaux (a status Bear Island Ojibway Indian) did positively signal the end of a working day to us Ontario Junior Forest Rangers (grads of 1970) in Temagami by throwing his axe into a tree every afternoon at 5 oclock. We (all 20 of us) worked hard at trying to replicate his daily 30 foot throws and with mixed success. Mostly 'mixed' as district office and the foremans frowned upon workers turning-in of axes with broken handles.
By the way Charlie was also the guy that artfully sliced open sardine cans with a deft slice of his axe and then tipped the contents on to a piece of bread. He loved chainsaws but you sure could tell that he'd grown up doing things entirely with hand tools.

I went there for a Bachelor party, it was amazing tons of fun. The guys who run it are awesome. I would do it again for sure. If it was closer I would consider joining the league.
