Blow off some steam at NY Axe Throwing Range in Selden

Alright. If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend or maybe you just want to blow off some steam. We've got the place for you. We definitely do. And this week's road trip close to home, I'll take you to New York Acts in Selden on this road trip. Close to home, we have hit the bull's eye on fun. Welcome to New York Acts in Selden ax throwing has become a popular activity over the last few years and this venue opened up in September. Everyone 11 years and older is welcome to grab an ax and give it a try. They do use real sharp axes so they offer safety training and a personal coach, especially for the larger groups. They host birthday and bachelor parties, even corporate team building events. It's been great, tremendous success from the beginning. We, we thought it would be good, but it's just taken off. This is the first digital ax throwing experience in New York. The target is digitally projected onto the wall which means you can change it up from a standard bullseye to even tic tac toe. Pretty much. There's about 10 different games to pick from So it changes the experience. You're not just throwing at the same redundant target over and over and it's not just ax throwing. You can also try your hand at Safe Archery. It has this Velcro tip but still shoots like a standard arrow. The Selden location also offers a full bar and snacks like mini pizzas and pretzels. On the weekend, we try to make it somewhat like a nightclub vibe, the music, the lights are down, the music's pumping. And for those of you in Nassau, you can still hit the target at their location in Farmingdale at New York. Acts in Selden on this road trip, close to home. I'm Mexi Egland.
