Hubby, kids and I went there to enjoy some family time and BATL Ground did not disappoint! Our coach, Abby, showed us the ropes, took us through a few practice rounds and off we were. We had a lot more fun than we thought we would daring and challenging each other. Axe throwing is a unique and enjoyable way for families to spend time together. We will go back for digital archery.
