About Us

The Owners

Recently relocated from Ottawa, owners Keith and Flynn are excited to be following their dream of owning an axe throwing hall! With over 15 years of experience in hosting axe throwing events between them, they’ve moved back to Keith’s hometown of Hamilton to share their knowledge and passion for the sport.

 

Flynn started coaching and throwing axes in 2015, when the sport officially debuted in Ottawa. Since then, she’s worked at two axe throwing halls, competed internationally, and won two League titles. She was even once hired as an axe-throwing consultant on a film set! Her passion is axe throwing, and you’ll know it the second you meet her!

 

Keith began throwing and coaching in 2017, after an axe throwing event got him hooked! With his beard and suspenders, he’s a walking advertisement for the sport.  Keith’s expertise is broad – he’s a jack of all trades – but he’s a master at building axe throwing targets.  Between the offsite trailer, custom cages designed for high-traffic events like CFL home openers, and now building Timberwood Axe Throwing Hall from the ground up, he gets the facilities built to our high safety & fun standards.

The Venue

Located in Hamilton’s west end, our venue is just off Main Street West. Easy to find, we’re right beside our good friends Fairweather Brewing Company. With lots of parking both onsite and plenty of street parking available, you’ll find it easy to get to us! We’re also right beside the Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail, so walking or biking are also fantastic options when the weather’s nice. Our venue is very accessible to those in wheelchairs or with mobility issues, which is important to us – axe throwing is a sport for everyone!

The venue currently has three lanes ready to go, with another four under construction. Groups of 2-8 always receive a private lane for their event. Got more than 8 in your party? No worries, we’ll just give you more than one lane! Tables and seating are provided at each lane, so you and your guests can feel right at home. Once we’re fully built, we will be able to host parties of up to 100.  With our friendly neighbours The Fairweather Brewing Company – we’ll be able to host even larger events!  

The Crew

Our team is ready to show you the ropes! Trained by Keith and Flynn, they know all the coaching tricks to get you sticking axes right away. Already mastered your throw? No sweat! Our Coaches can teach different techniques, trick shots, and may even let you throw one of our Big Axes! Every group is assigned one of our trained Coaches, who will work with you and your guests 2-on-1 to make sure that everyone is being safe and successful. Make sure to ask your Coach what their favourite trick shot is – we all really like to show off!
