Put the darts aside; it’s time to take weapon throwing to a whole new level. Three independently owned axe-throwing venues have opened in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties in the last four months. 

Nub Chuckers in Alexander City last month cut the ribbon at renovated space on Tallapoosa Street, in a building that previously housed the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce. In Eclectic, Wade Jones opened Viking Axe & Bow downtown, and Charles Sanderson opened his first axe-throwing facility in Wetumpka in February. Sanderson recently opened a second facility in Prattville and soon will open in Columbus, Georgia.
