Expert Review: EastPoint Sports’ Premium Axe Throw Target Game

Buffalo Games’ EastPoint Sports division created a portable axe-throwing game that puts a safe spin on a backwoods pastime.

It comes with a sturdy steel target frame that stands more than 5 feet tall, a target made of durable plastic bristles, and 8 safety axes constructed from plastic and foam.

The team at EastPoint Sports has been killing it the past few years with incredible, oversized games that take family fun to a whole new level. Following their spins on Skee-Ball, Connect4, and Corn Hole (made in America!) we were excited to add this Premium Axe Throw Target Game to our family’s collection of games.

After assembly, the sturdiness of this set is apparent as it has some real heft to it. That strength and durability are important as family members take turns whipping the safety axes at the target. We’ve had ours for several months and it’s held up through many heated battles.

Kids and adults of all ages are drawn to the addictive simplicity of the gameplay and the challenge of getting each throw just right through practice and repeat play.

The space-saving, fold-flat design makes this easy to stash behind a door, under a bed, or to transport in the trunk of a crossover or SUV.

Allow at least 30 minutes to assemble this for the first time. It’s a job that’s best suited for two people. While the axes are lightweight, outdoor use is recommended as they might damage walls or other furnishings if played with indoors.

Families looking to mix things up with a new game to enjoy outdoors in the backyard, the park, or the beach!
