The Home of Axe Throwing
The Backyard Axe Throwing League was established in 2006 in the backyard of CEO Matt Wilson. What started as a personal dedication sparked by a camping trip soon spread through word of mouth in Toronto, and today over 1 million people have participated the thrill of throwing axes at one of our locations, including our Chicago venue near Six Corners in Portage Park and Irving Park.
Party & Corporate Event Ideas
We believe that throwing an epic party in the City of Chicago should be fun AND simple. That’s why our axe throwing private event packages include 1 – 2.5 hours of axe throwing depending on your group size, adjustable food options and private space to fit your party’s unique needs. At all BATL locations, trophies and clothing are available as add-ons for an even more exclusive touch.

BATL offers the premium facilities for people of all abilities to compete and have fun, including our location with 10 targets in the core of Chicago.
