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…
Axe Thrower Interview: Huckabella
Huckabella is easily one of the most well loved people in the sport. She is kind, competitive, and part of an axe throwing dynasty that’s shown it’s possible to be friendly and fierce. This interview was a quick one, but…

Axe Thrower interview: Derv
I met Derv for the first time at ChillAxe (her home venue), just after watching a match. She has a very wild kinda throw (two handed, full send) and that was just enough for me to think to myself “hey,…
I could use some help
If you’ve been any sort of reader of this site, you know that I’m not some independently-wealthy, landed gentry. No, I’m just a writer who, like most of us, needs to consider how buying classic or deluxe Kraft Mac N’…
