Thankfully, knife and axe throwing doesn’t typically feature in our daily lives, and because of this all our sessions are designed with beginners in mind! However, if you are a seasoned thrower or consider yourself a bit of a viking we can adjust our tuition to suit your requirements.
Each activity can be done separately, as part of our Weapons Through The Ages experience, or more of a pick and choose your weapon session.
Knives at the ready
One of the first kind of weapons used by early man, although the history and use of the throwing knives is poorly understood. Knife throwing is not as easy as you might think. A throwing knife is a knife that is specially designed and weighted, allowing for it to be thrown effectively.
Axes Out
Throwing axes have been used since prehistoric times. Unlike knives, most small axes can be thrown reasonably well, even if they weren’t designed to be thrown! Try a Viking Norse Hawk or an American Tomahawk.
What to expect with Knife and Axe Throwing
Upon arrival you’ll be met by a member of the Explore team before being given a safety briefing by your instructor.
You’ll then head over to the weapon handling location where you will be shown the ropes and taught the techniques. We’ll show you how to hold each weapon and the best throwing methods before being let loose on the targets yourself!
