AXE THROWING
The Best Axe Throwing Venue In Spain
A review of El Hachazo, Murcia, Spain
Axe throwing is a growing sport in Spain, with just a handful of commercial venues. They are all pretty good, but in my view the El Hachazo chain provides an extra special experience above the norm.
If I had to choose one El Hachazo venue as the very best, it would be Murcia. Murcia just had a slightly more relaxed, small town vibe, while still providing the same great product as the other venues. I like the way El Hachazo Murcia has all the ingredients for a perfectly ‘good enough” axe throwing experience and then managed to make it even better.
The supreme example of this were the boards. They were the standard vertical plank design you get in plenty of places. However, they were such a good quality and thickness it was almost like throwing at end-grain targets. Having thrown at some rock hard and/or obliterated planks the month before, I would have settled for some half decent boards. As it was, the boards turned a fun evening into one of the best axe throwing experiences I’ve had, away from home.
Similarly, the initial house axes were good, and perfectly sufficient for an hours throwing. Then, we were inundated with a plethora of other throwing implements.
