You check in at the front and sign waivers either physically or electronically. You choose which lane you want. I believe that there are 6 lanes with chain link separators. There are tables for the people in your party who may not want to throw or may just want to watch. The wood target that you are throwing at has to be prepared by coating it with water. Once this is done you can start throwing or you can ask for pointers. They start the timer on your lane when you tell them are you ready. I had a great time. Joseph was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in both getting me started and teaching the basics of the art. I spent an hour practicing and learning how to throw short, long, and speed hatchets. He was nice enough to teach me lots of pointers before starting the clock so that I had the maximum amount of time to actually try the various hatchet. He would also provide me with pointers when I was missing the target. It was fun, entertaining, and good exercise. I highly recommend it.

Such a blast! What a fun new spot in Athens. It's better than bowling for sure and something new and a must do in Athens. Super friendly and helpful staff to show us armatures the ropes.

The establishment attracts a rather odd crowd of millennials who routinely make jokes from 2012 and cheer for Atlanta United. Male facial hair is disproportionately represented among these folk as well. Regardless, this is not a viable reason to demote an establishment's star rating so 5 star it is! Go Old Pal!
