Have you ever thought about throwing axes around? You know. For fun? Well, apparently the Canadians have thought of it, and have been enjoying this odd but daunting past time for more than a decade. This unusual activity has only recently landed on American shores and has quickly become a nationwide phenomenon. In Mississippi, Alley Cats Axe Throwing Company is one of the few places that adventurous souls can try it. The folks behind Alley Cats promise a safe and fun environment to give the activity a shot and liken it to throwing darts. Try your hand at throwing traditional axes, or opt for hatchets if you’d like, at fixed targets and see just how close you can get to the bullseye.

Alley Cats Axe Throwing Company, 220 West Pine Street, Hattiesburg, Mississippi 39401, Phone: 601-329-2340
