    Axe Throwing

    AI generated image

    Convenor:  escarpmentprobusactivities@gmail.com (lead Jenny)

    Location: Champs Entertainment Centre, 300 Bronte St. S., Milton

    Date: Thursday October 9

    Time: Arrival 10:45 am, Axe Throwing 11-12 am

    Cost: $7

    Lunch following: Champs Restaurant, lunch and drinks at your expense

    Have you ever wondered where the origins of axe throwing started?

    According to the most reliable "Champs" website, the history of the axe goes way back, according to Greek mythology, invented by Daedalus, the father of Icarus. The first axes were chipped from a chunk of hard stone that was initially held in the hand and was probably used for many purposes. Eventually someone learned to fasten the stone to a wooden handle with thongs or by drilling a hole in the stone, giving him more leverage to strike a harder blow, as well as a longer reach. An axe was one of the simplest tools of mankind. However, the recreational use of axes is a relatively new and emerging sport. It is thought to have only been started a mere 15 or so years ago, purely out of boredom in a backyard in Toronto.


    Now it's your turn to throw the stone. We will be gathering at Champs Entertainment Centre to try our hand at nailing the bullseye. We will get some easy to follow instructions from an expert and then the games will begin.

    After an hour of throwing, we will move over to the restaurant for a fun lunch and cool down beverages.

    Space is limited, so sign up soon and be a part of the action!
