\nA business that lets people participate in the sport of axe throwing has opened at 870 Route 9 in Queensbury.
\nSteve Greene and his wife, Kristen, opened Adirondack Axe in December.
\n\u201cThe response has been really positive,\u201d said Greene. \u201cWe\u2019ve had some repeat customers even in just the few weeks we\u2019ve been open.\u201d
\nGreene and his wife are originally from the area. They lived in Virginia for five worked he worked for the Great Escape theme park there.
\n\u201cI took another job with a theme park in Virginia, and that\u2019s where I was introduced to axe throwing. It was more of a hobby,\u201d said Greene. \u201cWhen we moved back up here in 2017, I read an article about a facility or two that opened in Albany. I thought about it over the past year and thought, why not up here? It makes perfect sense with the tourism in our area. And we\u2019re a blue collar area. It\u2019s a fun activity to do.\u201d
\nThe facility\u2019s most popular offering is a one-hour throwing session. Additional time is available if wanted. Most customers come just for fun, though Greene has also done numerous team-building events and parties.
\n\u201cWhen you come in, we go over safety instructions. We go through proper throwing techniques. We work with groups to get everyone comfortable throwing, then step away when the group is ready. We\u2019re close by if anyone has any questions,\u201d said Greene.
\nThe facility has seven throwing lanes, with each lane accommodating up to four people.
\n\u201cAs of right now, it is an indoor activity only. There are plans down the road to potentially do a mobile axe throwing unit, so we can go to companies to do team-building events,\u201d said Greene.
\nHe said he will be starting axe throwing leagues in a month or two. \u201cIt\u2019s growing in popularity. It\u2019s the new generation of darts,\u201d said Greene.
\nAdirondack Axe is part of the World Axe Throwing League. Tournaments for the W.A.T.L. can be viewed on ESPN2. Adirondack Axe will have intro leagues, as well as W.A.T.L.-affiliated official leagues. Additionally, Greene plans to have single-day tournaments in the future.
\nThe facility currently operates Thursdays 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Fridays, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturdays, noon to 8 p.m.; and Sundays, noon to 5 p.m. Hours and days will expand as summer approaches.
