Come and join us for axe throwing Wolverhampton and Cannock. Axe throwing is a sport, recreational activity, and team-building game where participants throw small axes (often called hatchets) at a wooden target — typically a large round of wood marked with concentric rings similar to a dartboard. The goal is to score points by sticking the axe as close to the bullseye as possible. Here’s a quick overview: ### 🪓 **Basics** * **Equipment:** Standard hatchets weighing around 1.25–1.75 lbs, wooden targets made of softwood like pine or cottonwood. * **Throwing distance:** Usually 12–15 feet (3.7–4.6 meters) from the target. * **Scoring:** Similar to darts — bullseye is worth the most points, outer rings worth fewer. Many venues follow **World Axe Throwing League (WATL)** or **International Axe Throwing Federation (IATF)** rules. * **Safety:** Always one thrower at a time, closed-toe shoes required, and trained staff supervising in commercial venues. ### 🎯 **How to Throw** 1. **Grip** the axe handle with both hands, similar to holding a baseball bat. 2. **Line up** squarely with the target, feet shoulder-width apart. 3. **Raise** the axe over your head, keeping elbows straight. 4. **Step forward** and **release** smoothly when the axe is just in front of your face — don’t flick your wrists. 5. **Follow through** naturally — let your arms extend toward the target. ### 🏆 **Why People Love It** * It’s a satisfying stress reliever. * It’s great for group events, dates, and team-building * Competitive leagues and tournaments are growing worldwide.

Come and Join us this Saturday 1st November for our annual airsoft Wolverhampton night game, own gunners £40, full kit hire with tracer unit and tracer rounds £60 per player. Post code WV107AD. Remember bring torches and tracer units. Airsoft Wolverhampton was the First airsoft centre in the Midlands, we opened over 20 years ago. A **night airsoft game** is one of the most exciting and immersive ways to play — it adds stealth, strategy, and adrenaline to the usual skirmish. Here’s a full guide to help you plan or prepare for one: ## 🌙 **1. Equipment Checklist** ### 🔦 Lighting & Vision * **Red/green flashlight filter** – preserves your night vision and makes you less visible. * **Tracer unit + glow BBs** – helps track your shots in the dark (looks awesome too). * **Headlamp** (with red light mode) – for admin tasks or reloading safely between rounds. * **NVG (Night Vision Goggles)** – optional but a huge tactical advantage if allowed. ### 🪖 Gear & Clothing * **Dark or camo clothing** (avoid all-black, it silhouettes you against the background). * **Helmet/hat and face protection** – essential for low-visibility conditions. * **Gloves + knee/elbow pads** – you’ll be crawling more often. ### 🔋 Power * **Fully charged batteries** for your gun, flashlight, and optics. * **Spare batteries** – cold or damp nights drain power faster. ## 🗺️ **2. Field Setup & Safety** ### Lighting & Markers * **Glow sticks or IR markers** for identifying friendlies (different colors for teams). * **Boundary lights** or glow tape on obstacles to prevent accidents. * **Briefing with field map** before dark — know where cover and hazards are. ### Safety Rules * **Lower FPS limits** can be wise since visibility is reduced. * **No blind firing.** * **Muzzle discipline** — double-check before shooting. * **Emergency light signal or whistle** (e.g., red flashlight = stop game). ## 🎯 **3. Tactics for Night Play** * **Move slow, stay low** — sound travels farther at night. * **Use light sparingly** — a flashlight reveals your position instantly. * **Rely on sound** — footsteps, branches, or BB fire can reveal direction. * **Use the environment** — moonlight, shadows, and silhouettes can help identify targets. * **Communication** — use hand signals, radios with earpieces, or low whispers. ## 🎮 **4. Example Fun Night Game Modes** * **Blackout** – No lights allowed, only tracers and NVGs. * **Zombie Survival** – One team starts infected, tries to “tag” others. * **VIP Extraction** – Protect or capture a player in near-total darkness. * **Recon Raid** – Collect glow sticks or objectives hidden around the field. ## 🔥 **5. Pro Tips** * Tape over reflective patches/logos on your gear. * Test your tracer setup before the game. * If it’s humid or cold, bring anti-fog for lenses. * Stay hydrated — night games can still be exhausting.
