The program was a fun way to encourage guys to get together.

This wasn't designed to be a complicated program. The goal was to have fun in a way that got new guys interested in participating in something related to Men's Club. This was fun and had a funny name and so it worked. We called the Mohel and asked if he would join us. After he stopped laughing he said yes and put the date in his calendar. We set the date with the location, brought kosher pizza and beer (location required groups to byob and food). Men's Club members received a discount when registering for the event. Throughout the night we threw axes, hatchets, ninja stars, knives, a javelin, and even a hand shovel (that was Ed Herzog's favorite). At the beginning of the night, after the safety briefing, Rabbi Rovinsky (the Mohel) did a d'var about sin and missing the mark. Fun was had by all and everyone walked out with the same number of appendages the had when they walked in.
