First mocktails, then cool activities

After an hour of enjoying the surroundings of The Powder Factory it was time to venture into the planned activities. A session of crossbow shooting was provided, and one could also venture into a session of axe throwing.
Crossbow shooting: initiation by professional instructors
Both crossbow shooting and axe throwing were wonderfully enjoyed. In the crossbow shooting workshop, everyone had a chance to experience firsthand how a crossbow works and what it involves. Under the guidance of a professional instructor, Cryns Carrosserie Center employees worked on their shooting posture and the technique of aiming an arrow at the target.
After some practice, the instructor divided the group into several teams, which competed against each other in a sporting competition. Thus, everyone could get into the skin of William Tell or Robin Hood crawl!

Axe throwing 'by night': a matter of finesse, not brute force
The bee throwing took place late at night in the garden of The Gunpowder Factory. The lighting in the garden created a unique atmosphere.
During axe throwing, the employees of Cryns Carrosserie Center unleashed their inner Viking. During this workshop, attendees learned that success in throwing is definitely not a matter of brute force. The key is to have a relaxed attitude and to focus on the target.
The instructor taught both men and women how to handle the different types of axes and showed how to throw them most efficiently. After a practice session, it was time for the real thing, and the participants competed against each other in a sportsmanlike contest.
