Some Frequently Asked Questions

+ Is It Safe?

We have taken all steps to create a safe and fun environment for our guests.

We have self contained lanes in all our venues, therefore eradicating the risk of wayward axes from adjacent lanes. We are also a Dry Venue to again limit risk.

+ Are The Axes Heavy?

Not at all, Axe-Throwing is not about strength or power, it is about technique. Our small axes are less than 300g, with our large axes around 1kg.

You will receive training from our experienced instructors who will take you step by step through the techniques required for each axe - tailoring and teaching various techniques to suit you and your preferred axe.

+ Can Anyone Throw Axes?

Without a doubt. Axe-Throwing is technique over anything else, and is a sport that isn't hindered by strength, age, gender or disability ("different"-ability). You can participate as long as you are;

• Over the age of 18.
• A minor between the ages of 14-17 with their respective parent or legal guardian co-signing, present and participating in the session.
• Willing to sign a waiver
• Wearing enclosed shoes
• Not intoxicated by alcohol or drugs
• Not more than 20 weeks pregnant

+ What is a Legal Guardian?

A legal guardian is a person who has been court appointed to care for another person, and make decisions on their behalf. Essentially, a legal guardian assumes legal responsibility over another person.

They have been granted the legal authority to care for their ward’s personal and property interests. This means uncles, aunties, brothers, sisters or friends don’t qualify unless the court has appointed guardianship.

+ It's All A Bit "Macho" Isnt It?

Across all of our platforms and league nights, roughly 48% of all Axe-Throwers at Lumber Punks are women. Internationally, the Sport of Axe-Throwing proudly has 40-60% split of Women to Men participants.

In venue, we see time and time again the ladies out throw the men.

+ Can I Throw Axes If Im Pregnant?

Yes, if you are prior to 20 weeks into your pregnancy.

Axe Throwing is a physical activity performed in sometimes hot environments, so for the safety of you and your child, come back and see us after the child is born.

+ Can We Drink Alcohol & Throw Axes?

Safety is our highest prority, we choose not to be licensed to serve alcohol at Lumber Punks. Our axe throwing experience means you will be throwing axes for the majority of your session time. You'll be having so much fun you won't even think about it - trust us.

+ What If We Want To Drink Somewhere Afterwards?
