Yeah, beer and axe throwing, but it does sound like a winner!

EATONTOWN, N.J. — A new business in town allows its patrons to get primal while drinking a cold one.

The idea for Stumpy’s <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Hatchet House" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: help; z-index: 9000; border-bottom-style: dashed !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 161, 52) !important; background: inherit !important;">Hatchet House</culink>, the first indoor hatchet throwing venue in the United States (http://on.app.com/1TzY1xv), was homegrown by two couples, Kelly and Stuart Josberger, of <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Toms River" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: help; z-index: 9000; border-bottom-style: dashed !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 161, 52) !important; background: inherit !important;">Toms River</culink>, and Trish and <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Mark Oliphant" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: help; z-index: 9000; border-bottom-style: dashed !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 161, 52) !important; background: inherit !important;">Mark Oliphant</culink>, of <culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Lakehurst" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: help; z-index: 9000; border-bottom-style: dashed !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 161, 52) !important; background: inherit !important;">Lakehurst</culink>.

“One of the things that we all liked about it was, it was something a little primitive, a little organic, kind of primal to pick up an ax to throw it at a target,” Stuart Josberger said.

“We just felt there was a kind of need for this type of a business,” said Trish Oliphant.

Jackeline Mejias-Fuertes, director of the Small Business Development Center at<culink class="culinks" culang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Brookdale" title="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: help; z-index: 9000; border-bottom-style: dashed !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 161, 52) !important; background: inherit !important;">Brookdale</culink>, said people today want to let loose in new ways.

“Now we have more expendable income, people are not having families as early, and they’re going out and trying different things,” she said.

“Our minds work a lot quicker now, and maybe we do need to put down technology and do something with our hands to feel like we accomplish something,” Mejias-Fuertes said.

Hatchet throwing is fun, I was taught as a child.
Hatchet and throwing and beer would be fun
Havent done it in many years now but there is a fine art to it my friend.
First you must choose the right one .
Get yourself ready and drink it as fast as possible in order to guzzle the next one..;)

Wait, sorry-- the hatchet throwing part, just be prepared for about 200 misses until you get the judgement of distance , weight, speed ,
balance and well timed revolutions of the weapon thrown. -Tyr

I'm quite sure all of my kids would love a place like this for a night out. They should quickly start selling franchises! LOL!

That's the hardest part to learn right there.

It's pretty satisfying to hear the THUNK! when you get it right and it sinks in deeply.

Probably should think of all us Southern rednecks. And I'd add NT into the mix. We all start learning crap like that and shooting out of our strollers. :laugh2:

You've got that right!

It is not as easy as T.V. shows and movies make it look.

It is really not unlike horseshoes in many ways. I grip
mine in the middle and toss them with a backward rotation.

I always liked Johnny Carson. His non-plus and almost
deadpan expressions were great.

There will never be another one like him.

Thanks. I have some vestiges of my Indian bloodline still in me. For example at age 7, I was taught several key points in knife fighting by my Indian grandfather.
My Mother found out and stopped that training before grandad got me up to the needed level, but my older brother and I practiced with butter-knives the next few years to get there. Have never used any of it but who knows maybe someday still--it will come in handy.
My dad ok'éd his archery training with me so mom had no say in it. And his training Homer and myself how to wrestle was ok'd too as was
all the shooting training --Dad was all for those being done . :beer::beer:-Tyr
