Axxe - Axe Throwing Canberra

1 Lyell Street, Fyshwick

Once the sole province of the Frankish tribes of the Middle Ages, axe throwing has followed in the footsteps of pagan worship to become a pastime beloved of bachelor and bachelorette parties, corporate groups and unconventional marksmen alike.

At Axxe, urban axe throwing is the name of the game — specifically, throwing solid steel axes at wooden targets in the name of friendly competition, no prior experience necessary.

All sessions begin with an axe-throwing lesson and safety demonstration by a dedicated coach before the games begin and, eventually, an Axxe Champion is crowned. How you perform ritual worship of your Axxe Champion is entirely up to you.
