Following news that a woman in Singapore broke her nose trying to hit a baseball with a bat at SuperPark in Suntec City, it was revealed that axe-throwing is now a thing.
Axe Factor, an axe throwing range with over 10 lanes equipped with real axes, has opened at The Grandstand at Turf Club Road.
The "sport" supposedly originates from Canada, where people can be imagined walking around the great outdoors in the presence of bears, throwing axes at lumber and drinking beer out of cans.
Supposedly fun
The Singapore range is open to participants aged 15 and above.
Axe-throwing uses arm and upper body strength -- and maybe some semblance of balance so you won't fall over and impale yourself or throw the axe directly into your foot.
The target boards comprise of three circles: Black (5 points), red (3 points) and blue (1 point).
Beginners are advised to choose from three types of axes, but heavier ones are recommended.
Expert throwers can opt for the longest and heaviest axes.
Axe Factor also has VR games such as Haunted Mansion, Beat Saber, Walk The Plank, and Fruit Ninja.
