Book us for Freshers Week!

During freshers week, our mobile axe throwing service is highly sought after. We have been fortunate enough to collaborate with numerous universities throughout the UK, assisting in organising an ice-breaker activity that aims to acclimate students to their unfamiliar environment. The inclusion of axe throwing undeniably accomplishes this objective by fostering an exciting atmosphere, allowing students an opportunity to casually interact and initiate acquaintanceships with one another.

GETTING STARTED

So it goes without saying that we are well-versed in the art of axe throwing. Our extensive experience enables us to efficiently impart the necessary techniques to your guests, ensuring they swiftly grasp the skill and successfully land their axes on target. Initially, our teaching approach maintains an informal ambiance for those who express interest in participating. Once everyone feels at ease with the process, we provide them with the opportunity to engage in friendly competition by challenging one another through a series of ten throws each, striving to attain the highest scores possible.

SATISFYING

Apple Smashing

Apple smashing is among the additional activities we offer to enhance your experience. Apart from providing a source of gratification through the act of throwing an axe and annihilating a piece of fruit, this particular endeavour caters to individuals who may find it challenging to accurately hit the target board with their axes.

DRINKING GAME

Hammerschlagen

This game, known as “Hammerschlagen,” is a straightforward and enjoyable activity. Each player begins by selecting a nail from the bucket and gently inserting it into the timber to establish its starting position. To determine the order of play within your group, you can collectively decide who goes first. When it’s your turn, hold the hammer down at your side and execute one continuous motion to raise it and attempt to strike your nail. Remember, only one attempt is allowed per turn. If you find that your nail needs repositioning, don’t fret! You can correct its position on your next turn but forfeit an opportunity to strike it in doing so. The objective of Hammerschlagen is simple: be the first player to fully embed their nail into the timber!

Optional Extra – Unlimited Attempts

This is a game that has gained significant traction across our venues and at festivals. The objective of the player is to achieve a minimum score of 25 or higher within six throws, with the reward being a TimberJacks tee. It’s interesting to observe how even those individuals who may not initially appear competitive can surprise you by showcasing their innate drive and determination in this gripping game.
