ALTOONA, Pa (WJAC) — Axe throwing has quickly become one of the most popular new indoor sports and now residents in the Altoona area can try it out.

Thursday was the grand opening for Slingers Throw House in Altoona.

The mayor and other local officials attended the ribbon-cutting.

Each lane features two wooden targets and the goal is to get that axe to stick.

The owner says it’s a fun way to let off some steam.

“It’s a fun atmosphere for family, friends, corporate events, birthday parties, anniversaries, celebrations, you name it, it can happen here at Slingers Throw House.”

The venue also features a private area for corporate gatherings or parties.

Lanes are rented by the hour for parties of up to 12.

Slingers also features various arcade games and air hockey.
