Best Time to Visit

From my experience, weekday evenings tend to be less crowded, giving you more throwing time and personalized attention from the Axe Masters. [Mondays are reservation-only](https://www.yelp.com/biz/bury-the-hatchet-axe-throwing-bloomfield-bloomfield-2), so plan accordingly. Weekends get pretty packed, especially during prime time (7-10 PM). If you’re bringing a group, definitely book ahead – nobody wants to be that person who brought their entire office team only to find no available lanes.

How to Get There

The spot’s right in the heart of Bloomfield, easy to spot on Bloomfield Avenue. If you’re coming from NYC, you’ve got several public transit options, including NJ Transit trains to Bloomfield station. By car, there’s usually decent parking available nearby. But here’s a pro tip: if you’re planning to throw axes AND grab drinks after, consider ride-sharing – it’s the smart way to go.

Tips for Visiting

Alright, listen up, future axe-throwing champions! First things first – wear closed-toe shoes. I learned this one the hard way (just kidding, but seriously, it’s mandatory). Comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely are your best bet – think casual and practical rather than your Sunday best.

Arrive about 15 minutes early for your session. You’ll need to fill out some paperwork and get the safety rundown. Don’t worry if you’ve never thrown an axe before – the Axe Masters are amazing at teaching newcomers. I’ve seen people go from total novice to hitting bullseyes in under an hour.

Better yet, bring some friends along. The experience is way more fun when you can compete and cheer each other on. Plus, the friendly competition adds an extra layer of excitement. Just remember to listen to your instructor – they know their stuff and want you to have the best (and safest) experience possible.

Oh, and while you might be tempted to document every throw for social media, try to stay present in the moment. There’s something really therapeutic about focusing solely on your technique and the satisfying thunk of the axe hitting its mark. Trust me, it’s better than any stress ball or meditation app I’ve tried!
