Long before axe throwing became a mainstream activity in bars and FECs, Cutting Edge was already building professional-grade lanes for commercial spaces. Our mission has always been simple: deliver top-tier axe throwing systems that are safe, visually impressive, and built for long-term business success.
Since then, we’ve completed installations nationwide in a wide variety of settings:
-
Bowling alleys seeking new revenue streams
-
Trampoline parks targeting older audiences
-
Multi-attraction venues looking to diversify
-
New startups building axe throwing-focused businesses
Wherever we go, the results speak for themselves: more revenue, longer guest stays, and a more dynamic entertainment experience.
Why Axe Throwing?
If you’re still exploring why axe throwing makes sense for your business, here are just a few reasons venues across the country are adding it to their facilities:
🔹 High ROI in Small Spaces
Axe throwing requires far less square footage than many traditional attractions. In fact, many of our clients repurpose spare party rooms, empty arcade areas, or bar-adjacent space to house 2–8 lanes. It’s one of the most efficient revenue-generating uses of your facility.
🔹 Appeals to Teens & Adults
Unlike many family-focused attractions, axe throwing brings in young adults, corporate groups, date nights, and birthday parties. These guests tend to stay longer, spend more on food and drinks, and return for repeat visits.
🔹 Boosts Food & Beverage Sales
Many of our installations are placed near bar areas to encourage longer hangouts and higher per-capita spending. Axe throwing pairs well with casual drinks, making it a strong driver for kitchen and bar revenue.
🔹 Enhances Group Experiences
From corporate team building to bachelor/bachelorette parties and everything in between, axe throwing is a high-energy, social experience. It gives guests something new and exciting—and turns your venue into a go-to destination.

We Build More Than Lanes—We Build Results
Every business owner wants an attraction that’s fun, safe, and profitable. Axe throwing is all three—and our clients consistently see strong returns on their investment.
We’ve installed lanes at trampoline parks that were struggling to attract adults, bowling centers that wanted to modernize, and startup venues looking to open with a competitive edge. In each case, our lanes have helped clients:
-
Increase foot traffic
-
Extend guest visit duration
-
Boost food & beverage sales
-
Generate buzz on social media and local press
