The Meadery, after seven (?) years of hosting some form of axe throwing or another, is shutting its hall on Sunday. As far as axe venues go, it’s a tiny place – just 4 axe lanes. We could only do…

Happy 3-year anniversary to the axe badger!
Welp, we’ve managed it for another year. Somehow, despite all of the factually-inaccurate posts, absurd drivel and syrupy earnestness over a sport where we throw things at wood, we’ve managed to hit another anniversary. As is my right, I’m going…
Be the loudest voice: pressure vs points in axe throwing
So I’ve taken up a bad habit. But really just with one thrower: whenever I’m throwing against Joypocalypse, I tell her she’s a coward for staying down for points (which, to be absolutely fair, she only really does during tourneys).…

Axe Thrower Interview: Lemons
Lemons, an owner of RIOT Axe, once grounded me in a big way when I was kinda spiraling at an axe thowing tourney. I kinda used this interview as an excuse to tell her that (after like, a year), because…
Axe Thrower Interview: Nessa
Nessa and I have tried to sit down/stand up/walk around for an axe thrower interview for the past year and a half. Each time, something stopped us from actually doing the thing – but we finally found the time at…
What do we do with Loss in this sport?
Yesterday, I saw a series of posts about the death of Danté Dunn – Peachy D. in the axe world – a thrower I’d seen and chatted with almost exclusively at Urban Baltimore though he was from Cincy. He was,…
