Minutes from base
Richmond-based and family-owned, so Hanover dates are easy to schedule and easy to confirm.
Home turf
Hanover County backyard parties and community events
Mechanicsville is about as close to home turf as it gets. Mobile Axe is based in Richmond, which puts Hanover County minutes from our front door — and that makes booking us easy. Less drive time means flexible dates, simple logistics, and a quote back within 24 hours. We tow a trailer-mounted, coached axe throwing range to your address, set up two lanes, and teach every thrower from the first toss. A backyard birthday in Mechanicsville, a cookout in Ashland, a get-together anywhere in Hanover — if there is room for the trailer, we can bring the range. We travel anywhere in Virginia, but Hanover is one of the shortest trips on our calendar.
Coached every throw
All experience levels welcome. Coaching is why first-timers stick throws and stay at the lane all night.
Six years on the road
30,000+ throws coached, fully insured, with a COI available on request.
Who books us
Churches, schools, fundraisers and breweries
Hanover groups book us for more than backyards. Churches and schools use the range as the standout attraction at fall festivals and youth-group nights — great for teens and adults, with coaching tailored to your group. Fundraising committees use axe throwing as a crowd-pulling attraction, and we will help you plan a format that fits your event. Breweries around Mechanicsville and Ashland can park the trailer in the lot for an afternoon draw. Planning something bigger? See our festival attraction page for large-event formats. Every event is fully staffed — coaches run the lanes and handle safety so you can host.
Setup
Space and setup: driveways, fields, parking lots
The range needs roughly a 30 by 20 foot area for two lanes — rarely a problem in Hanover County. Driveways, backyards, fields, church and school parking lots, and brewery courtyards all work. We confirm surface, access, and guest flow before the quote is locked, so event day holds no surprises.
Pricing
Pricing Starts at $350
Small private events — about 15 guests or fewer, roughly two hours — start at $350, the most popular pick for Mechanicsville backyard parties. Corporate events, apartment socials, and weddings typically land between $1,200 and $2,500; festivals and large activations are custom-quoted. Quotes come back within 24 hours, and a deposit holds your date. Ready to lock a date now? Request a booking.
