Axe throwing and safety

Is it dangerous to throw axes?

Axe-throwing is not a dangerous game in itself. The blades are blunt. Our instructors are particularly attentive to safety rules.

 

Age limit

We allow children to participate as long as they can throw the axe safely and their guardian or parent is present.

 

What to wear

We're big fans of flip-flops and sandals, but we care about your toes even more. Only closed-toe shoes are accepted. Champion's tip: flat shoes are even better for a stable, balanced cast.

Avoid clothing that could impede shoulder movement.

 

I'm pregnant. Can I take part?

This is your decision, based on your physical condition. We have no restrictions on this.
