Axe tossing bar coming to Iowa City!

Axe tossing is coming to Iowa City!

There's a new adrenaline rush coming to a new bar in eastern Iowa. Hatchet-hurling bars have been popping up around the U.S. This summer Hatchet Jacks will open it's doors in Iowa City, letting customers chuck axes and drink beer.

It's something some may find controversial but the owner swears it's no more dangerous than bowling.

"So far, I've seen a lot of negative comments about that but I kind of harken back to years ago when people thought, 'hey, let's throw a 16 pound rock at a bunch of wood pins and if you think about (it's) in the same way," said Owner Nick Carroll.

They will also have "axe-perts" walking around and giving pointers, much like the Canadian axe-throwing set ups.

I wonder if this will happen...

I don't see the relation to bowling. It's hard to lift and hurl a bowling ball at someone. Drunks throwing sharp objects?  The bar owners better have damn good insurance.
