The Geophysical Society of Houston hosted the first annual Axe Throwing Social sponsored by Oxy, TGS, and RPS on Thursday, February 24th.
Safety first! The night started off with a coaching session from the BATL axe-throwing coaches and the check-in of all our participants.
Although there was a great, diverse group, most had never thrown an axe before. After a much needed warm-up on a cold Houston night, the real fun began: the Axe-throwing competition!
For those who have not had their first axe-perience, the aim of the game is similar to darts. You throw your axe at a large bullseye. The closer you get to the center, the more points you earn.
The tournament was 1-on-1 round-robin match play. The group watched competitive match-ups and discussed the latest industry news all over artisan pizza and drinks.
After the round robin match-ups, the points were tallied and the top 4 competitors squared off in a bracket style elimination match. At the end, our very own Peter Lanzarone won Axe King with his signature one-hand throw.
It was an amazing axe-perience, and hope to have a round two soon!
