Stumpy’s has been a big name in the axe throwing business since 2015, when Stuart and Kelly Josberger and their close friends Mark and Trish Oliphant started an impromptu game of axes. Since then, they’ve expanded across the country and landed in Cherry Hill and Delran, NJ, and also Bristol, PA. Prices starts at $15 per person per hour. You can bring your own food, and Stumpy’s even has a pour-your-own beer system.
