The Wood Shed was built to change the way that Central Alberta thinks about a night on the town. We are a recreational sporting venue unique to the region. We started this axe throwing facility to bring people together and take them out of their comfort zone.

When was the last time you truly did something together with the people that matter in your life? When was the last time you did something on the cutting edge of culture, that stayed true to Alberta’s logging heritage? When was the last time you did something for the first time?

We simply set out to change that.

Our goal isn’t just to teach you how to throw an axe – it’s to step out of the day to day routine, to leave your assumptions at the door and step outside of your comfort zone!

The Wood Shed – Axe Throwing, in all its rustic glory, has come to Central Alberta.

With no experience necessary you’ll compete individually, while receiving tips from our friendly coaches – and plenty of time to hang out between throwing.
