"Is there nothing I can say, nothing I can do To change your…read moremind? I'm so in love with you I'll be your saviour, steadfast and true I'll come to your emotional rescue" (Jagger and Richards) A professional organization I belong to was scheduled to hold an axe throwing party/charity fundraiser at Pine & Iron in Hartford last night. But two and a half days ago, they contacted us to cancel because they had closed their doors for good. We didn't want to cancel the event, so what were we to do? Well, Montana Nights came to our rescue and 20 of us had a blast. Our Guardian Angel was manager Carolyn, who worked in a slot for our group, arranged an instructor, pizza and sandwiches from Square Peg, and drink tickets from their bar (beer and axes, what could go wrong?). Anyway, we had a freaking blast at Montana Nights. Our instructor Kyle was great. He gave us a safety talk, demonstrated one hand and two hand throwing techniques, and broke us into two teams for some axe flinging fun. We threw at a conventional bulls eye target, an unconventional bulls eye target where the center moved around, and Tic Tac Toe and Connect Four variations. I threw ten axes in warm ups, and then 20 axes in two ten-frame 4-person team contests. I stuck one out of ten in the warm ups, just one in Game #1, but improved significantly by sticking 4 in the second game. I even had a center Bulls Eye!! By the way, the food from Square Peg was great - lots of different pizzas, grinders cut into fours, and a big salad. Thank you Carolyn and Kyle for saving our event. It was a charity collection event where our members donated new clothing, toys, and household supplies for Madonna House in Norwich, CT. I would love to see Yelp incorporate more of some sort of charity collections at our events. Sort of a "Pay It Forward" philosophy. Everyone can afford to bring a few cans of soup or tuna to donate to a group that needs them.

Stopped by here a few weeks ago or so with some coworkers. I honestly had no idea it was there,…read morebut the location is nice, and it's a great new option for something to do in the area. Signing Up: I was admittedly annoyed in the beginning, as the paying/sign up process seemed a bit annoying at first, but it wasn't terrible. I was still limping along a real P.O.S. smart phone at the time, so the premise of trying to use it and its limited battery life was irritating, but they had a pretty easy workaround. Keep that in mind if you'd like to avoid using your phone. Also note that they have a cheaper option for those looking to just observe and not actually throw. Throwing: The throwing areas are all nicely sized with seating areas that offer plenty of space without too much overlap with other people in adjacent throwing areas. The place is actually much bigger than it initially seems due to the layout. The trainer who initially explains all the rules was very helpful with demonstrating different throwing styles and scoring options, was personable as well, and periodically checked in to see if we had any questions. Bar: The bar is well-appointed with a rather long list of canned beers. No glasses, however, and the prices will add up quickly on you if you have a bunch. I imagine it is NOT BYOB anymore, given that there's a bar, so ignore that if you see it in other comments. Also- they have menus available for restaurants which will deliver, and I believe some of them may even offer a discount for delivery to Stumpy's, so ask Stumpy's which one(s).

He also brought over some additional axes that he thought would be a better fit for me. I was so impressed by his willingness to help. Price is good, better than most. I like that staff isn't in the cage with you like at some other places. I find that a distraction when they are. Boards were a bit beat up when we got there at 8:20 but I was the problem, not the boards lol. The facility was clean. It has a small bar with canned alcoholic beverages like most axe throwing facilities.

My friend and I went on a Friday night at around 7:30 PM and the wait was not long at all. There is a full bar and even live music which was a pleasant surprise to see! It a great hang out spot even if you opt out of throwing axes. Once you are assigned a lane an instructor walks you over and goes over safety rules as well as how to properly throw the axe and tally points. After some tries by myself, they realized I was struggling and offered a personalized lesson. They were patient with me and gave me many different strategies to use to perfect my throw. While embarrassed at how bad I truly was, it was really comforting that they took the time to teach me without judgement. By the end of it, I have to say I was fairly confident and was landing it on the board almost every time, which made my experience a lot more enjoyable (even getting a bullseye might I add). Great for a first date, a group hangout, or family activity!

They expanded and did an amazing job on the new bar and patio. We will be back to hang out here soon! The 4 of us reserved an hour for throwing. The woman checking us in was very nice and even though we had been there before, was kind enough to give us a quick refresher. I have to mention the music being played was spot on! We all enjoyed this. Drinks are not expensive and bar tender was friendly. We did not try any food as we were heading out someplace to eat. we will be back and this time not wait so long!

It was not very busy which benefitted us greatly as we got more one on one attention and training. They have 2 size axes which was perfect for my group. I chose the lighter one while everyone picked the heavier. It's about 10 feet to throw so just the right distance. You can pay $3 & bring your own alcohol (in a can, not hard drinks). That worked out perfectly! Only draw back is its a bit hard to find since entrance is in back of building. But once I was in parking lot, I saw the sign Definitely going back again!!

Loved the fact it's BYOB (with a small added fee of $3 pp) so you can enjoy whatever beer or wine you prefer. Saw some people brought their own snacks too. They gave a short intro demo and taught us how to throw the axes as well as game ideas for the time you're there. The workers there are super helpful and nice making it a good environment to have some fun at. Great experience and I definitely plan to come again since the prices are reasonable!
