LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 7.17 33
has two targets.) We clink axes before
the best-of-three match, five throws
each per round. He got the idea to
launch Flying Axes, scheduled to
open later this month on Clay Street
next to the Extreme Skate Park,
after a bachelor party in a Toronto
axe-throwing venue. A cage rental for
groups as large as six people will be
$80 per hour, and Pennington hopes
to start up a league and is working on
figuring out a membership package.
For the rest of our game, I only
manage to catch the target a few
more times, enough to win the
middle game. My sweet spot is just
in front of the red line on the floor,
which marks the zone where only the
two active players can be. I get one
more bull's-eye when, mid-throw, I
switch from two hands to one. Luck
again. When we finish, Pennington
brings up a scorecard on the app,
showing my pitiful numbers against
his. "It just depends on technique and
who's focused," he says. "If you are
physically capable of throwing the
axe, it doesn't matter if you're seven
years old or 70 years old."
