Had a fun time here trying axe throwing for the first time. Antoine gave great instructions and it was obvious he was doing this to make it a more enjoyable experience for us, which it did! Beyond the throwing, it was a small business that needed time to develop into more. (Chains have a lot more capital to make places spectacular from the start). So, go support them, appreciate Antoine's advice, and don't be embarrassed when most of your throws end up on the floor! read more

I see a lot of negativity about the owners and the "critiquing". I found it extremely helpful. I've been axe throwing before and Deadeye Dicks is my favorite. I found it very safe and it was comforting to know they were there to help. We will definitely be back!! read more

Terrible experience. As others have said the ax master telling everyone what they are doing wrong after each throw gets old quick. The woman that works there is rude. Not worth the hassle. read more

I have been axe throwing many places and this was not the best experience I've had. There were some positives of the place - they have "Glow Throw" which is really cool, and fun computerized axe throwing games like Connect 4. I reserved an hour at this place as a surprise for my partner's birthday. But what made the experience less than expected was the customer service. The man who oversaw our axe throwing was very aggressive when it came to critiquing our "technique." Don't get me wrong - I totally suck at axe throwing. Some would call me the worst of all time and I will totally own that (lol). But I don't go to compete, I go for fun! I completely appreciate their dedication to safety while axe throwing is happening, but even when I was following safety procedures correctly, I would be interrupted before I could throw the axe so he could criticize my form. It got to the point where I dreaded my turn to throw because I knew he was going to make a negative comment about it, which was intentionally made to imply how bad I was at throwing. Even my partner, who is pretty good at axe throwing, was criticized for the smallest of things. Both of us wanted to leave before our hour was up because this guy was so passive aggressively rude that it sucked the fun out of the day. The owner, Jennifer, was kind to us and you could tell she cares about her business. Maybe we just came on a bad day... or maybe we really were that bad at axe throwing. either way, I would recommend people to other places for axe throwing before I ever recommended this place. read more

See all

Been here a few times and the experience is fun. Plenty of games and different modes to keep you entertained. The only reason I'm not giving higher than a 3 was each time I've gone, the gentleman who was overseeing us had to critique and stop us after every single throw, cutting into our time. We're terrible. We know, but this got seriously obnoxious and annoying after about the 5th time in 15 minutes. I understand if someone's being unsafe please call them out for that, but if they just stink at throwing.....let them be!! read more

Took my wife here for her birthday. (Yes, I'm very confident in our marriage.) We spent about an hour on each side- the regular side with several computer-generated games that are projected onto the wood and the "glow throw" side where things are lit with a black light. It was our first time throwing axes and Antwan (probably misspelled that‍) was great about showing us how to use the mouse on our table to choose the game we wanted to play, do the scoring, etc. He was also great about the safety and technique briefing. And, he came around regularly to give you tips on your technique. The owner, I forget her name, also came around regularly to check on us. We really loved it. We'll definitely be back. read more

I thought the ax throwing was really fun but I could not stand the guy critiquing us after every throw. We just wanted to have fun we didn't care about our form. About half way into the hour we booked I was wanting to leave because he was making me nervous. He also mentioned to us multiple times that he takes tips. It was just a little pushy. read more

First time axe throwing and we'll definitely be back. We were met by the owner after we had the wrong GPS location and were thirty minutes late. We got lucky that it wasn't a super busy time of day for them and she held our lane for us and still let us throw for our designated hour (I would totally understand if it was peak business hours and we weren't able to too - she was just really nice about our mishap). Antwon was our axe teacher and he demonstrated and helped us really quickly. Atmosphere was fun and craft beer selection nice! Can't wait to go back! read more

Terrible customer service. The owner and employee that I spoke to were incredibly rude. As someone who has worked in customer service, I am appalled at their unprofessionalism and attitude over the phone. I don't recommend. If you want to do axe throwing, go to combat ops, the owner and employees are at least respectable. read more

I have never physically been to this building however I called to get some information from the owner about ages and policies. She was so rude on the phone and talk down to me like I was an idiot. I will never go to this place!!!' read more

Super accommodating staff, super fun environment, best in Fort Wayne! We will definitely be back soon!

DO NOT GO HERE. They are RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. I was HARASSED. I parked in the parking lot and was at the door of the restaurant next to deadeye to pick up an order.(doordash) A lady from this business comes out telling me I can't park. Mind you, there wasn't any sign in front of the parking space I was in. I said ok and walked in the restaurant because I was literally gonna walk in/out, I was door dashing. I'm now in the restaurant telling the lady the name for my order and she is giving it to me next thing I know, An entire different lady from deadeye walks up on me in my personal space telling me she's THE OWNER and I need to move my car NOW or she is gonna have it towed. And then she says she's not leaving from the restaurant until I move my car. Very aggressively. All this OVER A PARKING SPACE. Mind you the order was already ready I'm doordashing. So I grabbed the order and she steady FOLLOWING me to my car saying whatever and next thing I know a MALE EMPLOYEE comes out from deadeye talking crazy and he's yelling as I'm putting the order in the car. I told them it's not that serious and to stop talking to me cause at this point I'm literally getting in my car and They're steady yelling and harassing me. I ended up having to call the police because I was being harassed over a parking space and feared for my life. There's no rationale as to why 3 individuals including a man should be yelling at me and so aggressive over a parking space. I literally said ok when the First Lady said I couldn't park. But to have the owner JENNIFER follow me into a restaurant and say she not leaving the restaurant until I leave is completely absurd and insane. This is not a business you would wanna go to if the manager herself is aggressive and violent. And to make it even worse Jennifer the owner is/was a nurse. You would've thought she would be more kind, and have customer service skills but she don't. Please don't go here. read more
