Absolutely brilliant experience!!!
Will definitely be returning myself next time am in the area. My partner and I loved it! It’s impresive just how much they teach you within the hour. And how much fun it is! Have never been much of a sporty guy or a decent throw myself, but by the end of the session all of us were sticking the targets! Thanks to the gents expert guidance getting that muscle memory working! Ray and Nathan were super patient, attentive and personable. Would recommend to anyone. 10/10
Thanks so much guys!!

Knife & Axe throwing
Had a thoroughly enjoyable session throwing axes and knives. Ray and his team were fantastic at offering support and guidance to throw better. I didn’t find it easy, compared to the rest of the group, but I loved trying and was thrilled when I did hit the target. Definitely something I will try to do again, bringing the family next time. Thank you.

Knife and Axe throwing
A fantastic evening organised by Back to Wilderness for our group of 20. Clear and concise safety instructions were given in a very professional manner. Plenty of opportunity for all to have a go with each piece of equipment and all were given individual help from Ray & Matt to hit the target. It was a fun and interesting evening that all participants gained from. Great value for money!!!

Cutting edge entertainment
Had this as a birthday present and was terrific start to finish. Ray and Mike are great to work with and found the whole session terrific fun and educational too. Got to try out throwing axes and knives and properly learn about the techniques to do it properly.
Top stuff, would happily do it again.
