Axe Throwing for the First Time

I received with mixed feelings the news that our next work event would hold at an Axe- throwing venue. I had never been Axe throwing before so on one hand I was looking forward to trying something new; but on the other, the thought of dangerous sharp Axes flying through the air made me feel somewhat weary. 

On D day, after a safety briefing and short demonstration, we were off on our own trying to hit the target. Once I mastered the technique, I actually started to hit some really good shots such as the one in the picture. It also turns out throwing an axe and hitting the target is an excellent stress reliever.

We all had a great time, but woke up with sore arms backs the the next day. I would definitely go again and look forward to getting better at it.
