IDAHO FALLS – Jen McGarry never thought her business would be around this long.
The Idaho Falls woman started working part-time as the manager of On Target Axe Throwing when it launched in 2019 at 250 South Woodruff Avenue in Idaho Falls. She recently became the new owner and is gearing up for the company’s five-year anniversary.
Despite the turbulence of the COVID-19 pandemic during its formative years, McGarry tells EastIdahoNews.com the business is thriving. She’s thrilled to have a service that’s kept customers coming back.
“It’s picked up every single year,” McGarry says.
The business offers 13 targets and can accommodate up to 65 people at a time who want to throw hatchets, axes, knives and other sharp objects. Customers come from out of state frequently.
“I just had a group (last week) from Montana. They saw us online and decided to come down to check it out,” says McGarry.
She attributes the popularity of ax-throwing to the fact that it’s something people do together that involves friendly competition.
Two employees are participating in the World Axe and Knife Throwing Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma, next month. Meet them and watch them practice in the video above.
