At BATL, the Backyard Axe Throwing League, we believe throwing a killer party should be fun, simple, and full of bullseyes.

Whether it’s a stag, bachelorette, team-building, birthday, or fundraising event, it deserves to be memorable. No matter what BATL location you visit across North America, you can expect delicious food and drinks, axe throwing lanes, expert coaching, and a fun tournament. Boredom sold separately. 

Looking to make the memories last? Give your guests a reminder of their killer time with awesome apparel or a ‘champion’ trophy.   

Our Backyard Roots

We’re the first in the world to offer an urban venue experience for indoor axe throwing. And we’re proud of that. BATL isn’t just a cool-sounding acronym – and let’s be honest, it sounds really damn cool – it’s also the true declaration of where we started.

In 2006, our CEO Matt Wilson founded BATL in his backyard. At first, it was just a personal passion he discovered at a cottage. Today, nearly 2 million people have experienced the thrill of axe throwing at our locations.
