What's included.
How the zombie competition works.
Practice first, then you throw for points at a zombie target.
Head: 5 Points
Hit the zombie's head for the top score.
Body: 3, Arms: 1
Body hits score 3 and arm hits score 1.
It Has to Stick
The axe must stay in the target to score. If the blade crosses two zones, the higher score counts.

Level at the top? The instructor runs a tie-break to settle it.
Your Certificate
Your score, the passing score and your percentage chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse.

What should we wear?
Clothes that let your arms and shoulders move freely, and secure footwear. The range is covered but the venue is outdoors, so dress for the weather.

Absolutely amazing! Really kind staff and a special shout-out to Andy for helping me find the best technique at the axe throwing! ( I won by far! )
Amazing day training for the zombie apocalypse, fitted us in last minute as well. Turns out I’m better with an axe than I expected 😆
Absolutely awesome place. Thank you so much for a lovely morning. We went axe throwing (2 of us) and we had a great time with Andy. Andy made it super fun and gave us his full time and made us feel so welcomed. Very well organised and tidy and lovely staff. 100% recommend. Charlotte and Paul x
