At the IAAPA 2018 Expo, Cutting Edge Axe Throwing makes a major impact. As the first company to professionally build axe throwing lanes, Cutting Edge draws crowds and attention from across the industry. Over 3,500 attendees step up to throw axes at the show, and the excitement is so strong that even Fox News features us in its morning coverage.
We launch our turnkey axe throwing installation service under our parent company, Global Entertainment, and the response is overwhelmingly positive. The demand is clear: businesses want new, high-energy attractions—and we deliver.
The First WATL-Certified Axe Throwing Builder
Cutting Edge becomes the first official partner of the World Axe Throwing League (WATL), setting the industry standard for WATL-certified axe throwing lane construction. This ensures every lane we build meets strict specifications for safety and competitive play.
From day one, we design our systems to support venues that want to:
-
Start a new axe throwing business
-
Add axe throwing lanes to a family entertainment center (FEC)
-
Host sanctioned league play and tournaments
Our early clients benefit from working with the original innovators in the industry—backed by insurance partners and trusted by entertainment professionals worldwide.
Axe Throwing: The New Must-Have Attraction
Axe throwing quickly gains popularity as a group-friendly, competitive experience that feels like darts—but with axes. Players take turns throwing axes at wooden targets, aiming for the bullseye across 10 throws. It’s thrilling, surprisingly accessible, and instantly memorable for guests.
At IAAPA, we guide thousands of guests through the experience, from first-timers to curious operators—and the excitement in the air is undeniable.
