Sometimes it's nice to just do something that makes you feel like a total and complete badass. If that's the case, then I highly recommend throwing some axes around!
Axe Kickers in White Center was a fantastic place to spend a nice weeknight, and learn a new skill.
Axe throwing isn't about strength (although some is required), but more about form. Mike mentioned that it was a lot like golf in that aspect. Figuring out where and how to stand, how to comfortably throw it consistently, and focus on smoothly moving through the throw helped a lot.

| Baby's first bulls-eye! |
It's also a very casual and relaxed atmosphere. On weekends it tends to get quite crowded, but we had plenty of space to ourselves, and an hour and a half of throwing was exactly what we needed. We were also given a court that has the targets projected (rather than painted) so we were able to switch up what we were throwing at (targets, zombies, etc). I don't think any of us are at the skill level to join the league yet, but it would certainly be fun to come watch some people who are really skilled at this do it right!

| It stuck, so it counts! |

| When you throw it underhand, it sticks upside down! |

| Ready to throw! |
This is DEFINITELY something I'm interested in doing again, so let me know if you want to go!
