Update: After this post published, the IATF reversed the decision to require jerseys this year. You can read their statement here. I kinda waffled on writing anything about this IATC jersey topic. For one, the way it blew up on…

Axe Thrower Interview: Miss Julia
I don’t know that I met Julia before the U.S. Championships, but what an introduction she made! During the Adeline Cup, she used a whole lotta skill and determination to reach 2nd place — the entire time being laser-focused on…
Axe Thrower Interview: Nikki “Penikillin” Miller
I’ve had the good fortune of talking to Nikki a few times over the years as various tourneys, so I decided to just go ahead and get it on the record. “It” being an interview – not Nikki. They were…
IATC Round 1: Consequences, Accountability and the cost of progress
If you’re even a little active on axe throwing social media (first, God help you), you’re aware at this point of the fall out from the IATF’s decision to disqualify throwers from BATL and Celtic Axe due to throwing outside…

Tourney report: US Championships, gifts, kindness, the blood god.
We’re now a fair distance from the U.S. Championship events of 2026, and after allowing my noodle-y brain process everything that happened, I’m ready to share some of the highlights, what was wonderful, and what was less-than-stellar. Think of this…
Axe Thrower Interview: the Mattador
This dude oozes cool. Calm. I’d seen him around/chatted with him before, but after the person he was with declined an interview (the first time that’s happened to me — which I’m still reeling from, honestly), I decided to do…
