The Home of Axe Throwing
In 2006, The Backyard Axe Throwing League was created in the backyard of CEO Matt Wilson. What started as a personal hobby sparked by a camping trip with friends soon spread through word of mouth in Toronto, and today over 1 million people have experienced the excitement of axe throwing at one of our locations, including our metro Detroit facility in Novi at Twelve Mile Crossing at Fountain Walk.
Party & Corporate Event Ideas
At BATL, we believe that throwing an epic party in the metro Detroit City of Novi should be fun AND simple. That’s why our axe throwing event packages include 1 – 2.5 hours of throwing depending on your event size, flexible food options and private space to fit your party’s needs. Trophies and clothing are available as add-ons for an even more unique touch.
Axe Throwing Facilities
BATL offers the top-rated facilities for people of all abilities to compete and have a great experience, including our location with 16 targets in Novi. Our axe throwing ‘arenas’ are similar to a mix between a batting cage and bowling alley, with private space for groups of any size, and a music selection that makes every visit one of a kind.
Axe Throwing Format
For both residents and tourists to Novo, our private axe throwing events begin with practice and instruction (no prior experience necessary!) from the Backyard Axe Throwing League’s Detroit’s skilled coaches before starting a round robin and group playoff tournament of axe throwing.

Detroit Axe Throwing Leagues
Our weekly axe throwing leagues are the perfect excuse to get together with friends, make a few new ones and enjoy a little fun competition. With no prior experience necessary you’ll compete individually while receiving tips from our friendly BATL Detroit (Novi) coaches – and plenty of time to hang out between throwing at our venue.
