Oxford Axe Throwing isn’t just a business. It’s a place to build connections, celebrate milestones and engage in mindful activity among like minded company. 

Being able to work with local businesses to put their work into the spotlight and drum up business by bringing new clientele to the area is just an additional perk and the guys couldn’t be more enthusiastic about it!  

Growing up in rural Connecticut there isn’t a whole lot to do. What started as a fun evening out with friends throwing axes, quickly turned into a passion and drive that brought Oxford Axe Throwing to fruition. Three friends, old and new, got together and began something to bring to our home in Oxford and the surrounding area. 

They got to work crafting what they only had as a vision in their minds. Building targets by hand and throwing axes with family and friends, they began to see the purpose of their mission. A place for people to congregate. A community of camaraderie and entertainment.  Giving back to the oxford community with service and gratitude.

Steve

Badass jungle hunter who is most famous for killing lions with his bare hands, Steve gave up hunting wildlife after he choked a few cougars. He currently gets his kicks bench pressing in excess of 500 pounds. Ladies can’t seem to keep their hands off of him, mostly because of his amazing nunchuck game.

Most often known as one of the more sarcastic people you’ll ever meet, you won’t catch Steve ruining your vibes with serious comments. He may have also been drinking when asked to write this bio. He would have written more, but had a lion head he wanted to get mounted on the wall before the drinks wore off. Thanks for reading!
