“ Joe is the man! Had a great event at Heber and the accommodations are awesome, 100% recommend. ”
“ Date night switch up was a success! Nice to get a little friendly competition going. Friendly service and fun environment. Veronica and Char were great hosts! ”
“ My friend and I had so much fun! Eric showed us how to do it, and it was easy and we were pretty much professionals by the end. We're definitely both thinking of quitting our jobs and hitting the road as axe throwerists. Yay Heber Hatchets!! ”
“ I really had no idea how this was going to go - either it was going to be a lot of fun, or be a bore. It was almost a bore, but turned out to be a blast. Let me explain... Axe throwing is like merging bowling and darts together, but with a hatchet. You throw at a board and play games similar to darts but aim, your feet position, and follow-through are akin to bowling. Even the fact that throwing speed isn't a big factor is similar to bowling. My wife is 5' and she was kicking all our butts! We watched big burly dudes heaving their axes and not getting them to stick. It's all about your axe hitting the board at the right angle at the right time, not speed. Staff was very nice, but wish they were a bit more helpful in technique. They would try to demonstrate and were good at throwing, but lacked enough detail/suggestions to really help based on what we observed. From what we self-learned, here are the keys to being successful: 1. Find what's comfortable, whether it's throwing two-handed or one, either will work. 2. Follow through. 3. Throw naturally, not as hard as you can. 4. Watch how your axe hits the board. Adjust how close or far away you are to try and get the top corner of the axe to be rotating into the board when it hits. If the full front of the blade hits the board, it'll just bounce off. This is probably the most important aspect to successfully getting your axe to stick. We did a 2-hour reservation, whereas most people did one hour. I liked the 2-hour for our first time, as we struggled for the first hour but learned the above strategies and mastered it for hour two, which was a good amount of time to play a game with four people. Not really the "Let 'er rip!" stress relief I thought it might be, but far more fun than expected once we learned the ropes. Much more like playing darts in terms of experience, but cooler because, heck, you're throwing axes! Excited to come back. ”
“ This is a fun experience if you have a group to go with (I'm pretty sure it's fun if you go solo, too)! Upon entrance, you sign forms and then someone gives you a quick tutorial on best practices for axe throwing. And if you struggle after the tutorial, they are willing to give you pointers to ensure your axe lands on the target (they helped me a lot!). It's a fun rush to be able to throw axes during some friendly competition. When you book, it is for the hour. Make sure everyone is there on time because they do not start tutorial until everyone in group is present. ”
“ Our first time axe throwing and it was so much fun! You get a quick lesson of how to throw the axe and what the rules are. There are games you can also play that's plastered on the wall and keep score. My friends and I had a blast! Definitely will get your shoulders sore by the end. But worth it. Got 2 bullseye! With practice, my last throw was a perfect bullseye definitely coming back when I come visit Spokane again ”
“ This place is great. It was my first time to an axe throwing venue. We were visiting our son, student at Gonzaga, for his birthday weekend, wondering what to do? I've seen axe throwing via Facebook Post, wanted to try it. Was expecting a venue which serves beer, however Heber is a family friendly ... no alcohol or food. I suppose alcohol and throwing axes might be best kept separate. They were very helpful in teaching us the proper way to throw the axe and even came back out to give us pointers when I asked. If you have never done axe throwing before, highly recommend it for the whole family to visit Heber Hatchets Axe Throwing. ”
“ Girl friends and I enjoyed an evening at Heber hatchets and absolutely loved it. Definitely looks easier then it really it, learned tips and tricks on holding it correctly for a perfect throw. Can't wait to bring my boys in for another fun night. ”
“ AMAZING TIME HAD BY ALL! Our group (of 18) started with a lesson, which consisted of SAFETY, tips, tricks, and advice, then an introduction to different games, some for newcomers, which we were/are. Then we played for a little over an hour, and we had NO REGRETS! I can't wait to come back. Thanks Heber crew! ”
“ This place recently opened up. Something new, something different to do with family and friends. Staff was friendly and gave us a lesson on safety and throwing. Axe was heavier than I expected. We weren't sure how fun this would be but it didn't take long to be in competition, supporting each other and laughing like crazy. Definitely worth coming in and doing. A fun switch up from a night of bowling or movie. We will be back! ”
