Aim for the bull’s eye!

Candlepin bowling just not doing it for you anymore?
Consider axe, knife and/or star throwing to change it up!
After all, landing a sharp object into a target offers a rush that making a strike in a bowling alley cannot match.
Plus, blade throwing offers a ready way for any and all to unwind vicariously as well as offer the potential to compete with others so as to sharpen one’s edge.
A vicarious Lizzie Borden wannabe?

Even better, steadily growing in popularity from its base in the more rural northwest part of the country and in the South, throwing sharp things has a New England connection!
NewEnglandBuilt.com in Tiverton Rhode Island makes the Axe Pro, the pro target for throwers of sharp objects.
A seriously pro target.
Overbuilt. Seriously overbuilt

NewEnglandBuilt.com’s attention to detail with its Axe Pro target is without equal.
Not only is the Axe Pro is purposefully overbuilt for reasons obvious, it is also designed to allow for the ready replacement of worn-out target surface as needed.
New England Overbuilt’s competition, oh the other hand, typically relies on either cheap chip board or pressure treated wood in its targets.
Such poses problems.
Chipboard poses an erratic surface to land blades.
Even worse, pressure treated wood poses environmental concerns care of problematically chemical-laden wood pieces flying as well as that pressure-treated also poses an inconsistent surface for landing one’s throwing instrument of choice,
Replaceable target surface!

New England Built’s Axe Pro, on the other hand, features a tight grain and knot-free matrix of Douglas Fir end grain blocks so as to assure the best stick possible into its target area as well as provides a surface that holds up longer.
In turn, such makes the Axe Pro the choice of those in the know.

And as for places to throw sharp things, currently there are a surprising twenty-plus venues to do so in New England.
I can see this being used against citizens with opposing views at future Quincy City Council hearings. Why do they hate others’ opinions? The Council’s arrogance and demeaning treatment of citizens has to CEASE.
Nothing says ‘fun night out’ quite like hurling sharp objects at wooden targets while your friends cheer you on with a beer in hand. Axe and knife throwing has officially become the go-to activity for people who think darts are for amateurs and bowling just doesn’t have enough primal energy.
Sure, it’s all fun and games until someone loses a limb — or worse – because Steve keeps missing the target. And don’t forget the competition aspect. Nothing brings out the true colors of your mild-mannered coworker like a double-bladed axe and the chance to assert dominance in the break room come Monday morning.
But hey, if bonding over potentially lethal hobbies is your thing, who am I to judge? Just don’t come crying to me when ‘date night’ turns into an impromptu ER visit. Quincy might not have a major league sports team, but at least we’re on the cutting edge of recreational chaos!
