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.
