Axes and O’s Axe Throwing Facility Headed to Sterling

It’s the latest business to offer this popular craze in Loudoun.

Axe throwing. It’s the latest entertainment craze and yet another venue is planning a Loudoun County location.

Axes and O’s, a new, locally grown concept, is opening later this year in Sterling. It will reportedly be going into an 8,700 s.f. space on Ridgetop Circle. That’s off Nokes Boulevard, a little east of the Dulles Town Center shopping mall. The news was first reported by the Washington Business Journal.

At first blush, axe throwing sounds like a liability nightmare. Amateurs pick up heavy metal axes and heave them at a wooden target. Alcoholic beverages are often involved. But axe throwing businesses insist it’s all done safely — with barriers, rules, instructors and even limits on beverages. You can check out Axes and O’s Q&A on their website.

Back in June, The Burn reported that a franchise called Stumpy’s Hatchet House is planning a Leesburg axe throwing location. (See story here.) And the Autobahn indoor go-kart facility in Sterling also offers axe throwing.

Axes and O’s — which will have 10 throwing lanes — reportedly hopes to open sometime in November.

    Axe throwing? Total millennial fad that has two year-shelf life, at best. It reminds me of sitting at a brew pub in Leesburg, two guys sitting at the bar dressed up like lumberjacks talking about spin class. wtf? LOL

      Not even a millenial thing. I’m in my early thirties and find this absurd. Everyone I’ve mentioned it to laughs. I agree, 2 year shelf life MAX. Not to mention.. what kind of crowd is this going to draw in to Loudoun!?? Not a fan. People had an issue with Tilted Kilt for the same reason.. the crowd it would draw. This won’t last. Tilted kilt didn’t.
