Question 1

Yes! We want to come. How do we book our session?

We try to make the process of reserving lanes super easy. While we accept walk-ins, we strongly suggest that you book ahead of time to secure your spot through our reservation system.

Question 2

How old do throwers need to be?

Accepted Answer

Great question! While we want to encourage the next generation of axe throwers, Beaver County Axe Throwing Co. has an age requirement of 12+. All throwers 12-17 must have their waivers signed by their legal parent or guardian. Also, all kiddos 12-15 need to be accompanied by an adult on-site You can sign your kids’ waivers before they arrive here.

Question 3

Do you sell food and booze?

Accepted Answer

BCAT is proud to be the only venue in the region that is BYOB! So, bring some brews or stop by Uncl’ Chucks next door and grab some bevvies. They’re offering our patrons two bucks off a sixer when you show them your reservation. While we do have light snacks and NA drinks available for purchase, feel free to bring your own food. Intoxicated customers will be asked to leave the premises, so please drink responsibly.

Question 4

I have no idea how to throw an axe. Is that a problem?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! Every session includes coaching to teach you safety procedures, throwing techniques, and some very cool games to bring out your competitive side. Our coaches will check in after the initial session with additional tips and adjustments as needed.

Question 5

Is axe throwing dangerous?

Accepted Answer

This is an important question! When the safety procedures (outlined by our coaches) are followed, axe throwing is really quite safe. Nevertheless, there can be inherent risk if people do not take safety seriously. Anyone being a dangerous doofus will be asked to leave. (No refunds.)

Question 6

Can I bring my own axe?

Accepted Answer

You’re that kind of Viking, huh? We provide a variety of axes in different weights and styles. That said, if you’re a seasoned veteran, bring your own tools. We reserve the right to restrict outside axes if we deem it necessary.

What in the world should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Dress comfortably. That’s the key. Our only true regulation is that patrons MUST wear closed-toed shoes. No exceptions.

How long do we get to throw for?

Accepted Answer

Our standard session is for 90 minutes including coaching.
