WHY Is YOUR BACHELORETTE PARTY Idea Better AT BATL?

For starters, we’re the OG of indoor axe throwing. And you know how we got our start? A bunch of friends were hanging out looking for something fun to do. And isn’t that exactly what a bachelorette party idea should accomplish? Needless to say, we’ve been hosting kick-ass axe throwing bachelorette and hen parties across North America since 2006. And we’ve been perfecting the experience ever since we started it.

Besides the thrill of the actual axe throwing (and credit you can take for coming up with such a unique bachelorette party idea), our coaches and staff are top-notch humans. Some of them may even end up on the wedding invite list before your bachelorette party is over. Hey, these things happen. And when you put down your axe, you can pick up a drink, and some food, too. Can you say craft beer and food that’s inspired by the city you’re in? Good. Because that’s what you and your girls are likely to get.

Whether you’re planning a bachelorette party idea for your bestie or helping to arrange your own celebration before walking down the aisle, we’ve got you covered. After all, we want you to be able to relax and enjoy the party too. You won’t need to manage anything – we’ll take care of setting up and running tournaments, scoring and everything.

EXPECT ENTERTAINMENT WITH AN EDGE AT AN AXE THROWING BACHELORETTE PARTY

Events start with coaching and practice for everyone in your group, led by our expert coaches in your private axe throwing area. Once you and the girls have sharpened your skills, we’ll kick off a round-robin tournament followed by a final champion round to award an axe-throwing winner. And there’s only one rule: you must let the bride’s team win. Just kidding! You can be as competitive as you want, and there are a few actual rules that you’ll need to follow, but our coaches will fill you in on all that. Bachelorette parties at the Backyard Axe Throwing League last roughly 1.5 hours and must be booked in advance.

CROWN THE BRIDE

If you want to make your bachelorette party extra kick-ass – and memorable – you can get some BATL merchandise. It’ll be a happily ever after reminder of the good times you and the bridal party had. And if you’re feeling fancy, you can even add some high-class shenanigans by having one of our expert coaches saber a bottle of champagne with an axe - available at select locations only. It’s pretty freaking cool to watch and a champagne toast is the perfect way to celebrate the bride.

We offer a selection of local beers, wine, and coolers so you can quench your thirst while you celebrate. And compete with the wedding party.

Most of our locations are also stocked with food, including unique local offerings at some locations too. And if you want to bring in your own food, please do! For a plating fee of $3.00 per person, you are welcome to bring food for your bachelorette party guests or have it delivered, as long as it is prepared off-site.

Outside desserts such as cakes, pies, and cupcakes are exempt from a plating fee charge. So go ahead – celebrate the upcoming nuptials and celebrate your sweet tooth at the same time!

Learning AXE THROWING IS Easy FOR Your Bridal PArty

Drinks, your besties, and axes? Yep, it’s an epic bachelorette party idea that the bride will not soon forget. But before you help her say goodbye to single life, we’ve devised a handy guide to help you out with your axe throwing game so you can have an edge on the competition. Check out these tips from our resident axe gurus:

BASICS / YOUR AXE THROWING STANCE

It’s always good to start with the basics. These tips will help you get ready to throw your axe:

  • It’s important to stand with your non-dominant foot forward, in order to create balance with your dominant leg.
  • When you’re throwing, it’s important to remember two things: lean in, and follow through.
  • Keep your arms straight and your eyes level with the target on the board. This will keep you focused, and help you with aiming.

HOW TO AIM YOUR AXE

Now that you’ve got your stance, the next step is to aim your axe. These are some things to keep in mind:

  • Keep your eyes on the target – look directly at where you want the axe to go, and throw!
  • Aiming is all muscle memory, so try to replicate your motions every time you have a successful throw.
  • Breathe!

Two-Handed Throwing Technique: This is the standard technique that we’ve been teaching our guests for the last 14 years. Keep these things in mind when throwing with two hands:

  • Place your dominant hand at the bottom of the axe.
  • Wrap your other hand around your dominant hand.
  • Keep your thumbs off the back of your axe.
  • Bring the axe all the way back.
  • Lean in all the way forward while releasing your axe.

One-Handed Throwing Technique: We always recommend starting with two hands, but there is a certain allure to the one-handed throw. Keep these things in mind when throwing with one hand:

  • Keep your thumb off the back of the axe.
  • Keep your elbow in.
  • Don’t bring your arm across your body when releasing (like a baseball pitcher).
  • Less is more. You don’t have to throw your hardest.

If you keep these things in mind, you’ll be hitting bullseyes in no time. Now that you have a grasp of the basics of axe throwing, you just need to figure out what date works best to throw your bachelor party at Backyard Axe Throwing League.

THE BIG AXE

One more thing – the big axe. It’s one of the most exciting parts of axe throwing, but can also be one of the most daunting. But really, it’s just like throwing a hatchet. So if you’re stepping up to throw the big axe, here are some tips to help you master it:

  • Always use both hands on the axe, stacked on the handle like you’re holding a baseball bat with your dominant hand on top.
  • The big axe takes longer to rotate – you’ll need to stand back five feet from the hatchet throwing line.
  • It’s important to bring the axe all the way back, to generate more power due to the weight.
  • Aim high!

Adjusting Your Throw: There’s always a learning curve when learning a new skill. It’s helpful to identify issues and correct your throw as you learn. These are some possible adjustments you can make:

  • Stand further or closer to adjust axe rotation issues.
  • Move your stance from left to right to compensate for accuracy.
  • Adjusting your power levels to improve your control.

BATL offers many ways to get involved with axe throwing, suited to any and every event, including bachelor parties.
