Bury The Hatchet Sandy Springs - Axe Throwing — Attraction in Sandy Springs

I attended a Yelp Elite event at Bury the Hatchet and while parking was an absolute nightmare I found the experience itself quite enjoyable. The Axe Masters introduced themselves and showed us how to properly throw. We then had several test throws before getting into the game itself. I admit, I was scared. I am very clumsy and while I enjoy going to the gun range I realized quickly this is not in any way like the gun range. The Axe Master put two hatchets and two axes into a wooden stump so we would pick our weapon from there versus taking a dangerous risk of handing it to the next person. The board itself had assigned points for scoring with the largest number of points obviously in the middle. There were also two smaller red circles they called "kill shots" that you could try on your last throw of each round. Kill shots are worth 10 points and the entire arena screams "kill shot" when you plan an attempt, if you miss you get zero points. It took me a while to catch on to throwing but a couple of Axe Masters watched the way I was throwing, my stance, etc and offered advice on corrections. I hit the 6 pointer! I was also surprised that I hit the board throwing the hatchet with one hand. Give it a shot, it is definitely a...

My group was apprehensive prior to securing our time slot, the usual typical jitters of tossing any sort of 'dangerous' item always leaves you with a bit anxiety. While I knew there was no actually harm myself, there was still that petite voice in the rear of our minds telling us otherwise. Fortunately we had an amazing axe master, Maverick. From the very moment we walked into the building we were greeted warmly. His approach to teaching us the overall safety measures and ensuring each of us would be able to enjoy ourselves was top notch; in fact I would be hard pressed to find another activity guide near his level. Not only is Maverick witty, ensures there is plentiful avenues to enjoy ourselves with competition or overall venting our frustrations against the wooden foe known as a target board; he is genuine to the core.

When we book next time, which will definitely happen, Maverick will be the one man we are going for! On behalf of my group, we implore you to inquire for Maverick. He...

This place was a load of fun. Definitely cool to try something new. Our Axemaster Ira was great, he gave us very detailed instructions for how to throw the axes one-handed or two-handed, and gave us plenty of tips and recommendations throughout the session. It's two hours, so plenty of time to get a hang of it and take breaks if you want to. They have plans to add wider food and drink options though I loved the wide range of sodas they had - so many things I hadn't seen before! They've also got games you can play against each other with the hatchet throwing. They are very clear about the safety rules, so if you follow them you should be fine. The one thing that caught me off guard is that your Axemaster (understandably) supervises you the entire time. So if you're expecting to just be able to hang out and talk to your friends "privately", that's not going to happen. They're super friendly though, so not a big deal, just maybe worth setting the proper expectations. Definitely want...
