dlc444Axe Throwing - Much Fun
Y'all ever try this?
There is a place in St. Pete called Axe & Ale. Two lanes of axe throwing fun. I took my son there this afternoon as a lark, didn't know anything about the activity. We got a good safety briefing and a few minutes of lessons, both two and one handed throwing.
I guess, it is like anything; a little bit of competition and sharp objects flying 12 feet it great fun.
My son beat me the first two rounds, but I took the third after I got my stride.

It seems to me that any law that is not enforced and can't be enforced weakens all other laws.

BigCitySo, do you have the ale before or after tossing the ax?

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

AnubismpThat sounds awesome. I'd love to try something like that. Sadly my backyard is probably the closest I'd get.

joel9507Tried Urban Axes in Durham a few weeks ago.
Great fun.
RE: the question of ale before throwing or after.....let me suggest upgrading conjunctions from 'or' to 'and' and adding 'during' in there somewhere, too!
They have attendants and if someone is tipsy they won't get into the throwing area.

BaranThe local axe place around here, built one for the Boy Scout Camp. Us adults would be out frisbee golfing and stop at the axe throwing area each round. My axe throwing was horrible. My frisbee golf was in target.

RaiseHalNever been to an axe throwing establishment but I've been drinking beer and throwing axes in the back yard for years.
