A family affair
Todd Byers, along with his wife, Christi Byers, and children Taylor Byers and JT Byers, opened Axe-Mania—an ax-throwing venue—in Kingwood in January. The entertainment center has a rustic flair with a bear as a mascot, and deer mounts and axes throughout that Todd Byers said were each handpicked with purpose.
“The art and everything on the walls have a story. Really, very little here doesn’t,” Todd Byers said.
How it works
Todd Byers said Axe-Mania offers something for everyone. At Axe-Mania, guests can throw axes using more than traditional targets. Using electronic auto registration targets with 18 games to select from, guests can throw axes while playing Tic-tac-toe, Connect Four, Candy Crush and more.
Prior to starting a game, guests spend five to seven minutes going through safety regulations and learning efficient methods to throw an ax.
“We make sure that [guests] can stick an ax before we ever even go into starting their time,” Todd Byers said.
What else?
In addition to its ax throwing services, the venue holds team building corporate events, birthday parties and other special occasions.
With nine lanes available, Todd Byers said typically each lane can be occupied by four people at a time with a guest limit of 45 people at the venue at a time.
The venue also features a comfortable lounge where guests can enjoy beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks in addition to several free arcade games.
As Kingwood natives and business owners, Todd and Christi Byers are involved with the Greater East Montgomery County Chamber and Partnership Lake Houston as well as Kingwood Park High School’s baseball and softball teams.
