Frequently Asked Questions

Session Format

Sessions last an hour and include a health and safety briefing and tutorial.

When should I arrive?

We suggest you arrive at least 15 minutes before your session to ensure waivers are signed and you don’t miss out on the full hour.

Anyone can come and watch! Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Adults and children aged 8 and over can throw our house axe blades.

Safety

All personnel permitted on the range will have received a comprehensive safety brief from our qualified staff. Every session is supervised by our staff from start to finish.

While some risk always exists, we do everything possible to ensure your sessions are as safe as possible.

8-16 year olds can take part, providing there is an adult present to sign a waiver on their behalf.
