We booked our reservation online, super simple. Found parking across the street. On a weekday…read moreafternoon we were the only two customers! Safety briefing first then Got instructional lessons on how to use two types of axes (one regular "Hachette" and a long handled one). I really surprised myself on how good I was! We had our vs. competition with the instructor as the judge. Had to go 5 rounds to break the tie :) awesome time! They took our pictures at the end and posted them on Facebook the next day.

I went there with collegues this week, and it was SO FUN…read more It was a bit scary in the beginning, because I was worried of how the axe could bounce back and stuff, but I soon realized I probably didn't have the strength to make it bounce back that far anyways so... There's of course basic safety rules that are clearly explained, and there's a waiver to sign - which is pretty standard wherever "combat sport" is involved. There's three different sizes of axes, which all have to be thrown in a slightly different manner. I couldn't really hold the largest one up for very long, so I mostly used the smallest one. I have to say that I only managed to hit the target correctly twice, but it was still a fantastic session! Everybody had a blast! One guy from France now wants to become French-Canadian, and another dude wants to set up axe throwing at home. The music they played was really nice (System of a Down, Rammstein, David Hasselhoff (?!)). It wasn't too loud, and the rock/metal mix energized the place. Close to the front desk, there were even some branded leather goods for sale! The training/service was very professional and friendly. We also appreciated how the group pictures taken at the end of the session had a studio-like quality. They made great souvenirs! I recommended this place to my friends. Very good prices when attended as a larger group.

Recently visited Montreal again for a second bachelor party, this time in December. In a last…read moreminute scramble to fill up space during the day, I stumbled upon their website and thank god I did. A group of 6 of us (in our mid 20s) decided to try the combat archery for an hour on a Saturday afternoon. When we arrived the place is a little small for the amount of activities they have running at the same time, but even with kids birthday parties going on in the Nerf battle arena, we were able to check in, sign waivers and have a 5 minute waiting area before we were called to the back for archery. If you are like myself who has never shot a bow before, do not worry you will get the hang of it after your first shot. We had a quick demonstration/training by our wonderful worker assigned to our group. We did have 2 people join our group which brought us to a total of 8 which was the perfect number for the size of the arena for adults our size.We played about 6-7 different games and our time sure felt like more than an hour. If you need a place to get out the cold in the winter or the heat in the summer, be sure to check out the combat archery because we had a BLAST!!!! Also FYI - During the weekend there is free street parking all around the place do not worry about the street signs.

J'y ai emmené mon fils de 15 ans après un long week-end à Montréal. Nous y sommes allés à vélo avec…read moredes Bixis, il y avait une station juste devant, c'était super pratique... qui a besoin d'une voiture en été ou en automne à Montréal ? Notre moniteur Cyril a utilisé juste le nombre de mots qu'il fallait pour nous expliquer le sport : pas de blabla, seulement des consignes précises. Et hop, c'était parti ! Mon fils en avait déjà fait, son père était un vrai bleu, mais on s'est bien amusés tous les deux !! On reviendra la prochaine fois qu'on sera en ville !

This place was great, I was in town for a bachelor party and up and along for whatever activities…read morethe best man had in store for this group of 12. Strippers, hookers, dancers whatever .....sadly or not, we got axe throwing and a strip joint that well, hates money (let's leave that for a different review chez paree) Typically ax throwing doesn't enter a marriage story until year 2; when the honeymoon is over, but read on if you want. I believe the best man booked a reservation for an hour it may have been more, but regardless they trained us on how to actually throw, showed us some trick shots and had score cards for an actual round robin competition. I can't even give this place 4 stars for not having booze available, but i want to for the record, yeah yeah throwing axes and booze don't mix, were Americans we don't care. We definitely ran over the reservation time, but rather than shake us down for more money for more time, they gave us the option to buy more (we didn't) and they still let us finish our competition and then got us all together for some photos. No force sell either, I believe they mentioned they would put the photo up on Facebook and then took some with our phones. Would they do this in America? No fucking chance, capitalism apparently is subject to each venu in Canada. This is a real thing and I reason I love Canada for this, that and you know poutine, and the US dollar being worth 1.26 in that funny colored money they have. I believe you can have zero athletic ability (a few at this thing did) and still have the ability to stick the axe, I mean it's an ax, throw it at the board, get good and then you will be fully trained for the zombie attack in America. I plan on throwing a bunch of them while I run to Canada to live, and clearly there will be a significant amount of trained canadians ready to kick ass as well. Just another reason to move to America's top hat. Try it for yourself, and if you are wondering why I kept changing the spelling of ax/axe it's just because I can, don't axe. (I love dad jokes) #fuckyoukeith

Visited PlaAXburgh with a group of friends on a Sunday afternoon. First things first, this place is…read moreonly a couple of months old & my map couldn't find it (it's in the Big Lots shopping center, fyi) The pros: The facility was clean, staff was very helpful (and fun), and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We got three types of axes and the owner of Precision Engraving was even kind enough to also let us throw some of his knives. As only one of us had ever thrown an ax before, we needed quite a bit of guidance, and Plaxburgh's team members were very helpful and encouraging. The cons: No food or bev options (other than a couple of vending machines in the back), and the cost is a bit high at $25 per person per hour (the only reason I deducted a star). You will need to sign a disclaimer form, and anyone under 18 will need an adult with them. Plaxburgh is available for corporate team building events and private events!

Super knowledgeable staff who are willing to help are available when needed. The lanes are clean…read more The axes are good and upgrades are available if modifications are needed.
