Did you know you can go
axe throwing near
Calverton in north
Nottingham? If you
thought chucking hand
axes into big chunks of
wood was only for
lumberjacks think again.
This session held in the
lovely Lime Woods will
teach you how to hold and
throw an axe. And once
you've done it once
you'll want to do it over
and over again! Back in
the day Native American
Indians came up with the
Tomahawk the sort of axe
you'll be throwing. It
was a heavy hand-held axe
that was used both as a
weapon and for every day
tasks such as chopping
cutting and hunting. Now
whilst that all sounds a
little bit Captain
Caveman think about the
Middle Ages. This is an
age when brave warriors
were armed with axes as
primary weapons in fierce
battles. And who knows
axes could very well have
been used in this corner
of north Nottingham? The
preferred method for
lobbing the axes for your
typical warrior was an
overhand throw of said
axe. That makes the axe
rotate as it flies
through the air to then
land with a thud head
side up into your target
which might just happen
to be the skull of your
pesky enemy. Thankfully
there's nothing gruesome
about today's axe
throwing sessions at this
centre near Calverton.
The team here has sorted
some nice tree trunks as
targets and the axes used
are specifically
manufactured to be used
in the sport of axe
throwing. The method of
throwing the axe hasn't
changed though! You will
be throwing modern
Tomahawk-style axes and
you'll need to know how
to pick them up and the
stance to adopt. You'll
learn all about the
arm-swinging action to
take to send your axe
into the air heading
deftly towards the
target. You might be a
bit nervous about it all
at first but we have to
say it's an amazing
feeling to lob an
swirling axe into the
air. If you thought axes
were only used for
chopping up firewood and
things like that these
days we think you will
love discovering the
inner warrior in you as
you learn all about axe
throwing in north
Nottingham. And for even
more fun why not book
onto the triple medley to
add archery and laser
clays into the mix?

Knights ladies and
squires welcome to your
jousting experience! Step
back in time to Ye Olde
England and learn some
rather noble sporting
skills both on foot and
horseback during these
fabulously theatrical
experiences. Yes that's
right honourable ladies
and gentlemen it's time
to hone your jousting
skills and more besides
when you spend the day at
Jousting School. It all
takes place in an
equestrian arena in the
shadows of a certain
Warwick Castle making for
the perfect backdrop to
your day of Medieval fun.
Of course jousting wasn't
just for fun back then.
It was a chance for young
knights to shine to win
the hand of a fair maiden
to receive praise from
the King. And if you
failed miserably you
might have ended up in
the stocks - a shameful
sight for a Knight
indeed. Now you might
think that being skilled
a horseman is a must when
it comes to being able to
joust against your
opponent. Well it's true
you're sure to have a
distinct advantage if you
have any experience in
the sa...

backyard pastime to
Sussex when you go axe

might not be the first
outdoor activity you
think of but believe us
axe throwing is utterly
brilliant and you don't
have to be the size of a
burly logger to lob axes
into the targets. It's a
great choice for Brighton
stag and hen dos too.
Based on a farm estate
within the South Downs in
Sussex it's a pretty
idyllic and a very
countrified setting for
your axe throwing

peaceful yet you're just
minutes from the bustle
and energetic vibe of
Brighton with the

of woodland wondering how
to throw an axe. The
instructors who run this

Choose between Medieval
and modern on these
target combat combo
experiences for two! Let
your inner Viking out
with a roar on the
Medieval sessions
covering archery crossbow
and axes or go modern
with rifles. Whichever
weapons you favour it’s
all about getting your
shots on target.
of combat shooting combo
experiences is a farm
estate in Cheshire.
Conveniently located
right next to the M56 its
just a 30-minute drive
from major cities like
Manchester Chester and
Liverpool to the wilds of
this target combat
ground.
If you
get a sense of military
precision about the whole
affair that’s because
all the shoot instructors
are either active or
ex-military. Shooting
activities are a bit of a
speciality here with
several of the crew
having been shooting
instructors in the Army.
They’re super keen to
get you on target with
your shots so there are
no gimmicks. It’s all
about learning good basic
techniques that’ll
ensure you progress to be
a calm collected and
accurate shooter.
So if you fancy a
bit of Medieval-style
combat choose between the
axes and crossbow session
or the archery and
crossbow version. Archery
is really enjoyable and
pretty easy to pick up
whilst crossbows are a
little more tricky to get
to grips with. As for
axes…who wouldn’t
enjoy lobbing an axe to
land with a satisfying
thud into a huge chunk of
wood?
On the
Modern side of things we
are talking guns.
You’ll be shown how to
fire air rifles either on
the outdoor or the
covered range in the case
of inclement weather. You
start at a relatively
modest 15m from the
targets and then progress
to being 30m away from
the knock downs you’ll
be aiming at. Then
there’s the specific
15m covered ‘hideout’
shooting range which is
really good fun for
honing your hand pistol
skills. And of course
you’ve got the axes to
try as well.
these target combat
combos. The teaching from
the ex-Military team here
is second to none and
there’s a warm and
friendly welcome too.
Time to book your combat
shoot session and see if
you’re a bit of a
hotshot!
