Throw Some Axes With Your Friends
Axe throwing is a game that has been gaining a lot of steam recently. For those of you that haven’t played, think of a game that’s a lot like darts but a lot more hardcore. You’re given some axes, and you throw them at a target. You get points depending on where your axe sticks. Much like darts, there are a variety of games that can be played with axe throwing, and it would be hard to explain all of the rules to all of the variants here but needless to say, you can win with either a high or low score depending on the game you and your party decide to play.
At Jacksonville’s axe throwing range, before you start playing you’ll consult with a coach who will make sure that you have proper technique for axe throwing. This is just to make sure that you don’t accidentally hurt yourself. As you can imagine, accidents are common with axe throwing if you don’t know how to do it right.
The consultation with the coach serves another purpose, and that’s to make sure that you and your friends can play the best game possible. Nothing brings a group of people together like a little friendly competition. Unless that competition comes in the form of Uno, that game regularly ends relationships and can turn friends into enemies with a single card. But other than that and a few other board games, friendly competition can add a level of bonding within a group that you may not have gotten otherwise and that’s why axe throwing is such a great thing to go out and do with your friends.
Planning the Perfect Day Off
Your time is valuable, and your off time is double that. When you get a couple of days to rest you always want to be sure that you’re spending it in the most fun, safe, and relaxing way possible. Whether that means staying in bed all weekend and just watching TV or going out with your friends. Whatever you want to do, the city of Jacksonville, Florida has something for you.
