The Epitome of Hatchet Throwing

From their first hatchet throws at the original Stumpy’s Hatchet House in Eatontown, NJ, Scott and Alisa Kuppe knew that this thrilling new activity had a place in Princeton. Nearly 3 years after that first visit, they opened a Stumpy’s location in Princeton, NJ that has elevated the concept to a whole new level. It is not an exaggeration to call it the most beautiful hatchet-throwing venue in the world.

Initially, the biggest challenge was finding the right location. After much searching, they finally found one with the potential to match their vision. The idea was to create an upscale, resort atmosphere allowing guests to be transported while introducing them to an exhilarating new sport. No expense was spared as a 10,000 ft2 blank canvas was transformed into a wood-clad retreat, complete with an immense stone fireplace serving as a focal point for the main hall, also known as “The Lodge”. Furniture and décor items were sourced from Homestead Princeton (a local favorite) and an overall attention to detail is evident in every corner and on every wall.

The process was painstaking, but the result is incredible. During the four months before the coronavirus pandemic closed their doors temporarily, guests at Stumpy’s Princeton were left awe-struck by the atmosphere and by the activity for which it was created.

While open, Stumpy’s Hatchet House of Princeton has already hosted groups from 2 to 125, with numerous birthday parties, team-building events, and corporate outings. The range of guests have made it clear that hatch throwing has broad appeal, and the well-trained coaches have proven that anyone can stick a bullseye with the right guidance.

The Kuppe’s believe that a BYOB venue for hatchet-throwing is the answer to the mundane monotonies of an increasingly digital world. It is a place to experience something real and authentic, to connect with others, to be bold, and to abolish the patterns of screens, streaming content, and sub-par entertainment options.
