If you are looking to host an axe-citing and unforgettable birthday party, look no further!
Our Tomahawk Parties are the ideal event for youth and young adults. Your kids will be able to enjoy plenty of games and throwing practice during the two-hour session. If you plan on bringing food platters, pizza or cake let us know, as we may be able to supply cake cutting and eating utensils to use on the occasion, at no charge. If you have any special requests or inquiries, drop us a line and we will see if we can tailor the session to your liking.
Your event will be hosted by one of our experienced throwing coaches. They will guide you through safe and effective techniques, suggest a competitive game or two, and ensure a fun and enjoyable experience while maintaining a high level of safety throughout your two-hour event.
Our Tomahawk Parties are only for youth and young adults (ages 12-18). They run for two hours and a minimum of $250 (this covers up to ten youth/ young adult throwers) will be charged per event. Every youth or young adult past the ten covered throwers will cost $25 per thrower.
For an even more unforgettable experience, don’t forget to inquire or sign up for our Ultimate Throwers Package, for added throwing enjoyment! With the Ultimate Throwing package, you will also throw other weapons like spears, knives, throwing cards, or ninja stars.

What is axe throwing?
Believe it or not, axe throwing has been around for a while now and is quite safe. It typically involves throwing an axe at a wood target. The goal is to embed the axe as close to the bullseye as possible.
How does it work?
It’s actually pretty easy to master and involves an axe rotating once fully in the air before hitting its target. Once an overview on proper safety is given, your coach will help you with proper hand/grip placement, throwing motion, and standing distance. Once the basics are demonstrated and acknowledged, you are free to throw.
What makes The Virginia Axe Co. different than other axe throwing establishments?
It’s all in our mission: To provide an exciting new adventure, cause no unnecessary waste in our process, inspire new bladed sports participants through a sharing of our competitive knowledge, experience and passion.
The Virginia Axe Co. is a locally owned, multi-family run facility. We are committed to using regionally repurposed timber cut targets from naturally or already downed trees. Though we may offer different types of target builds, any materials we use are recycled responsibly.
We bring years of real experience to these sports. We didn’t just jump into a new fad and take it corporate. We’ve been competing nationally in the bladed sports arena for years. We are proud to bring our years of award-winning competitive knife and axe throwing experience to the Richmond area community.
Is axe throwing safe?
Safety is our number one priority! Our coaches will provide orientation prior to your event, and they will stay with you the whole time, ensuring that everyone is complying with safe throwing technique. We have constructed the throwing lanes with safety zones.
How old do you have to be?
12 years or older. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Can you accommodate people with disabilities?
Yes! We have made sure our facility is fully ADA compliant. Axe throwing is available for a wide range of people with a variety of abilities!
Do you offer food and beverage?
We offer light snacks (chips, pretzels) and microwaveable items (like Hot Pockets, mini-pizzas), and non-alcoholic drinks (water, soda, coffee). Please feel free to bring your own food if you’d prefer. We do not serve alcohol, but you may BYOB after applying for a banquet license through the ABC website. Please let us know if you need assistance with catering options.
Is there parking at your venue?
Yes, we do have parking available. Please call ahead to coordinate parking arrangements for larger groups.
Are there footwear requirements?
The only requirement for anyone throwing is closed-toe shoes. Comfortable clothing that allows for full range of motion in your arms is recommended.
