LumberjAxes (in their own words): is Pittsburgh’s first competitive axe-throwing venue. Yes, competitive axe-throwing is a thing. It’s huge in Canada. At our rustic warehouse in Millvale, adults of all skill levels can try their hand at it. You and your friends, coworkers, wedding party, or knitting club get a lane and take turns throwing at a target. It’s sort of like bowling, but without the silly shoes. And with way more axes.  Our expert staff aims to provide the ultimate axe-throwing experience for walk-ins, private parties, team-building events, and leagues. We’re serious about customer service, so you can focus on having some serious fun. So round up a crew, take aim, and let ’er rip.
The soft opening for the axe-throwing venue is scheduled for August 18, 2017.  For more information about LumberjAxes, go to www.axethrowingpgh.com.  We interviewed Jack Welsh, one of the three partners behind LumberjAxes.  The other partners are Matt Peyton and Corey Deasy.
