Maniax Axe Throwing - Sunday 20th December 2020
2After attending a birthday party with musical chairs, I headed out to catch up with my mates Leong, Rob, Matt and Chong to try something new - Axe Throwing at Maniax in Collingwood!
Our lovely host Rachel explained the rules, scoring and best technique then we stepped up to throw some axes! These are smaller and lighter than a regular axe that you might be used to. They're more like a hatchet size and after a slow start we finally got into a rhythm of hitting the board and getting some scores.
After a round robin event which Leong won, we played in teams where I teamed up with Rob. We came from behind to take out the win after being helped out with some handicap points.
After that we tried the big axes, which were a fair bit heavier and the very small axes which take 2 full rotations before hitting the board.
All in all, it was something fun and new to try. Thanks to the boys for organising. If you're looking for Maniax, they're located at 19-21 Russel Street, Abbotsford.
