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 private 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.
Coaching and preparation
Instruction is included, and a COI is available on request for your venue.
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 — with participation and coaching planned around 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 coach-led — we provide coaching and lane supervision 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. Driveways, backyards, fields, church and school parking lots, and brewery courtyards may work after a site check. We confirm surface, access, and guest flow before the quote is locked, so we can plan the setup.
Pricing
Real Prices: Parties $795, Corporate $1,295
Small private events — up to 30 guests, roughly two hours — start at $795, the most popular pick for Mechanicsville backyard parties. Corporate events, apartment socials, and weddings typically land from $1,295 with tournament bracket and scorecards included; 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.
