The IATF has a unique problem. I’m here to solve it.
One of the more surprising things revealed during the two Q&A sessions – at least for me – was how close the IATF was to releasing the new knife throwing portion of the business. As it was explained, including knives…
I finished week 7 and there’s a lonesome feeling.
Maybe it’s because of the music I’m listening to right now (The war is won, yet I am lost), or maybe it’s because I finished out the league in 3rd place which, in my opinion, is the highest one can…
Tuesday tips: getting better means remembering the basics every throw.

I messed up by thinking too much: a guide.
Yesterday was the fourth week of our Wednesday league. A day, dear reader, that I normally feel is a little special. A little treat during the week where I get to do something I’m fairly good at, enjoy the company…
Axe care tips for people who don’t know a damn thing about axe care.
The love that axe throwers have for their axes (and, subsequently, the hatred axe throwers can feel for an axe that doesn’t “work” for them) is inescapable. We give them names, we talk to them between throws – hell, sometimes…
