I used to do this about 35 years ago in the Society for Creative Anachronism. At one time I could throw a battle-axe and call whether I wanted the blade, the top point, or the back point to stick in the target!

Maybe we could combine both sports and throw axes at the bowlers?

Count me out. I watched Ed Ames show how to throw a tomahawk on Johnny Carson. Not going there, no way.

This should solve the gun problem.

Clankie -- it the rule is "Flee a knife, charge a gun" I'm not sure where a thrown ax fits in.

So I could legally open business and advertise it as a "chop shop"?
Somehow, I don't think the TV show "Shark Tank" would back that concept.

I'm not sure that "Bad Axe Throwing" is the ideal name for the business.

In this "modern day bowling", a split is the best outcome, then?
