After spending almost two years throwing axes and hatchets in other cities and venues, we wanted to bring it home to Charlotte, North Carolina and our region. Chuck it axe throwing is not about hitting a bullseye or being an expert. It’s about the experience and fun it brings along with it in our beautiful weather!
