I didn’t really have an experience. It wasn’t clear that there wasn’t going to be a teacher, so when I got there I wasted a ton of time trying to figure out what was going on. No one working there had even heard of dabble. They did let me join another group for a bit, but it was really awkward since they all knew each other and are in a league together. No one really showed me how to throw the axe either. It was a waste of money and I left.

When my friend and I arrived at Bad Axe Throwing we were expecting there to be A LOT more instruction. We were just handed axes and told to throw in one of the cages.... Only problem was the cages were all full with axe league members that already knew each other and had a system in place. We made our way around to the opposite side of cages where there were less people and joined in with a smaller group of women. The women were extremely nice and welcoming and let us know that they heard about the league after coming to Bad Axe for birthday party. No one seemed to know what Dabble was, or how we found out about the place outside of having come for an event. We then proceeded to throw axes to the best of our abilities. The women were nice enough to show us how to throw and how to keep score. I asked one of the actual employees for a bit of help, but he was helping a party so couldn't spend much time showing me how to throw. There was zero order or instruction, which I found concerning considering we were throwing axes in the air. Luckily the hour ended well and I got 2 bullseyes! I would only recommend this Dabble experience to people who aren't shy and are okay with little to no instruction.
