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.

At BATL, we keep things pretty light and fun for everyone. First, our coaches will show you how all the basics. You’ll throw around a bit and get the hang of it. Then, the tournament – and trash talk – starts.

And if you chose BATL Premium, you get 1.5 hours, a dedicated coach, etc even more chances to throw than if you pick our weekly walk-in hours. Check us out on YouTube!
