You’ll step into Panama City Beach ready to try axe throwing with a local coach guiding you through every swing. Expect laughter, friendly competition, and plenty of chances to connect with your group—plus all equipment and guidance included. You might even surprise yourself with that first perfect throw.
Walked into the Axe Throwing PCB place not really sure what to expect — I mean, how often do you get handed an actual axe indoors? The air smelled faintly like wood shavings and maybe a hint of pizza from someone’s delivery. There was this low hum of people chatting, a couple of nervous laughs. Our coach, Marcus, greeted us right away (he had this calm way of talking that made me feel less likely to embarrass myself). He showed us how to hold the axe and gave us a quick demo — his landed dead center, naturally.
I’ll admit, my first throw hit the wood with more of a sad thunk than a satisfying crack. Marcus just grinned and said it happens to everyone. We got into it pretty fast — there’s something weirdly satisfying about that moment when the blade finally sticks. Some folks in our group were naturals; others… well, let’s just say we laughed a lot. At one point Li tried shouting some kind of Viking battle cry before her turn (it didn’t help her aim but did get everyone smiling). The whole thing felt easygoing — nobody cared if you missed or nailed it.
What surprised me most was how much we ended up talking between turns, swapping stories about who’d thrown axes before (almost nobody), or just sharing random work stuff. It’s funny how doing something totally out of your usual routine makes people open up. By the end, I could actually hit the target more often than not — still think about that little rush when it landed right where I aimed. If you’re looking for a day trip in Panama City Beach that’s different from the usual beach stuff, this is it.
