This is Joe Bunkle reporting for the Portsmouth News and I'm here in Gosport.
00:04
We're at Downrange Axe Throwing to have a go at throwing some axes,
00:07
knives and anything else that I can get my hands on. Let's see how it goes.
00:12
Keep safe, just don't throw it backwards.
00:38
I was very excited to give it a go and after some practice and some help from the team at Downrange,
00:44
I eventually started to hit the target.
00:46
Oh there you go.
01:06
I really wanted to open up something that isn't in this part of Hampshire.
01:11
We've got one in Southampton, that's about 30 miles from us.
01:14
One's just opened up in Brighton on the other side but we haven't got anything
01:17
in the middle. It was a couple of ideas first with the axe throwing as a back bit but actually
01:26
as we more thought about it and we looked into it, we thought the axe throwing would be on its own
01:32
as a standalone project, much better. Great and what is it that you love about axe throwing?
01:37
I think everyone just enjoys throwing something they shouldn't if I'm being completely honest
01:42
and realising actually after your first throw it's not going to come back and hurt you
01:46
and I think as soon as you realise that it's just a good time throwing an axe.
01:52
Great and I know that there's been some people coming down to try it out the past couple of days.
01:58
What sort of feedback have you had so far? Yes we've had all the local businesses around
02:02
Gosport come down and have a look and they've absolutely loved it. We've had the lads from
02:06
the sweet shop around the corner, they've made their TikToks and yeah everyone come down and
02:11
really loved it. All posted on social media for us. It's been a brilliant reception.
02:16
Fantastic and I know that for an extra fee you can throw axes at your enemies essentially so
02:23
would you mind telling me a little bit about that? Yeah so what we do in store if you want to
02:27
come down for an extra pound you can print out a picture of an ex, you don't like your boss,
02:34
your mother-in-law, there are a few rules but yeah so you come down and have a you know
02:43
someone you don't like. If you want to do a zombie we can put it on the target for you.
02:53
Just try and get a spin on it. Try and make it spin that's what he said.
02:57
Oh yes!
