Our Axe Throwing Reviews
What Our Customers Say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
While visiting Edinburgh this summer, we decided to try out Clay pigeon shooting and axe throwing. We are a family of young teens with zero shooting/hunting experience. Mark is a great teacher. He was super patient and spot-on with his instructions. He put all of us at ease and ensured we learned the basics appropriately while having a good time. We were grateful to have him as our instructor. We had a wonderful day! Our kids said this was one of the most memorable activities they tried on vacation. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

My son and I had a great afternoon with Mark, where we learned the basics of shotgun use and clay pigeon shooting. As complete beginners, he patiently took us through all the basics, the workings of guns, shooting protocols, and health & safety. In a remarkably short time, he had us hitting clays with regularity, and when we missed, through his good-humoured explanations, understanding clearly why. A fascinating introduction and an exciting and safe confidence-building experience. Looking forward to the next visit.

I came for a stag do last year (I’m in the picture) and had an amazing day. I live in Mexico, but I would go back in a heartbeat. The people were amazing and so easy to get to know – and they were incredibly skilled. I had a new respect for shooting – I was a novice, but they got me hitting targets even though I had never held a gun before.
Wonderful day, highly, highly reccommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
While the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act 1996 mainly governs the use of firearms and knives, axe throwing is permitted as long as it is carried out in a controlled environment, such as a licensed venue. Venues must ensure that axes are only used within the designated areas and are not removed from the premises. Any misuse of axes or unsafe behaviour may be reported to the authorities. Safety and supervision are key to adhering to legal requirements.
