Supporting the Axe Throwing Community in Albany

Feb 16

Over the past few years, axe throwing has become a real part of the Albany entertainment scene — and Far Shot played a role in building that local community.

If you’ve thrown there, competed in leagues, or made memories with friends on their lanes, you were part of something that helped grow the sport downtown.

And we respect that.

At The Yard Sports Bar & Hatchet House, our goal has always been the same:
Keep the energy alive. Keep people throwing. Keep the community together.

If You Threw at Far Shot — You’re Welcome Here

If you’re searching for Far Shot and wondering what’s next for league nights, practice sessions, or your weekly throwing crew — we want you to know:

There’s still a place to throw in Albany.

We have:

Full-length axe throwing lanes
League play launching this season
Team formats (2–4 throwers)
Open play nights
Private event options
A full sports bar and food menu

Whether you’re competitive or just in it for the fun, our lanes are open.

Keeping League Play Alive in Downtown Albany

Leagues are more than just throwing axes.

They’re:

• Weekly traditions
• Team rivalries
• Midweek stress relief
• Post-work hangouts
• A reason to get out of the house

We know Tuesday league nights meant something to a lot of throwers. That’s why we’re organizing structured league nights at The Yard and welcoming existing teams who want to continue playing together.

If you were part of a Far Shot league, your team can stay intact — just bring your crew.

Same Community. New Home.

This isn’t about competition.

It’s about keeping the axe throwing scene strong in Albany.

The more places that support the sport, the better it is for everyone. And when one chapter ends, the community doesn’t disappear — it just shifts.

If you’ve thrown before, you’ll feel right at home here.

If you’ve never thrown, now’s the perfect time to start.

What Makes The Yard Different

Along with our throwing lanes, we offer:

A full sports bar atmosphere
Craft beer and bourbon selections
A brand-new food menu built for groups
Event space for birthdays, bachelor parties, and corporate outings
A downtown Albany location at 16 Sheridan Ave

It’s not just throwing. It’s a full night out.

To the Far Shot Community — We’ve Got You

If you were part of Far Shot and are looking for your next league, your next team night, or just your next throw — we’d love to host you.

Bring your team.
Bring your rivalries.
Bring your scorecards.

We’ll take it from there.
