I think the first time I met Marcus was at Clutch Shot for a marathon league. He was quiet and very, very good. But he was also hella friendly and had one of the best stickers I’d seen in the…
Interview
Axe Maker Interview/Review: Red Beaver Custom Axes
The last* Choptober was more than the closing of one tradition and the beginning of the next. Yes, dear reader, I maintained my own tradition of buying an axe at the event, despite my stupid, pointless belief that I wouldn’t.…
Axe Thrower Interview: Babs, Regional Rep and Sheath Maker
Babs, even before I started talking to him, struck me as the affable sort. A friendly demeanor, happy to carry a conversation on with anyone, and just generally into being a part of the tourney we were at. It was…
Axe thrower interview: Pops
I’ve looked up to Pops since before I started throwing in a league. In fact, it’d be safe to claim that he’s the reason I solidified my interest in the sport. When I first learned of axe throwing, I did…

I got the chance to speak with Ms. Marvel a day before we got to throw against each other in the Swiss Over tourney (a bracket I had absolutely no business being in) at Urban Open 2025. I learned a…
Tiny axe thrower interview: Huckabear
This was my very first interview at Urban Open this year – one that I tried to secure during IATC but, alas, I ran out of time. HuckABear is well known in the sport and, by all accounts, a slayer.…
