I think the first time I watched Stormy throw was at IATC 2024. She had something like six matches back-to-back, and she was so focused in, it was like watching a highlight reel in real time. I’ve wanted to sit…
Interview
Axe thrower interview: Kimmy Supnet
Look. Listen. I am generally nervous about interviewing everyone. I don’t particularly feel like anyone really wants to chat it up with me, and navigating the voice saying “you’re inconveniencing people by even being seen by them,” is a real…
Axe thrower(s) interview: the queens of Queensland.
I’m still pretty new to this sport, and very new to tournaments. In the few I’ve been to I’ve been very impressed with the strength of the Queensland women’s talent pool. While there are femme-identifying throwers as strong in other states, it’s the number…
Tiny axe thrower interview: Jenny Beams
During the New Year’s Day marathon league at Urban Baltimore, I got the chance to hang out with Jenny Beams (a local Baltimore thrower) and re-record an interview I previously mucked up from months before. Truth be told: I thought…
Tiny Axe Thrower Interview: Axestrator

Tiny Axemaker Interview: James Coverdale of Northern Axe Works
Nice axes are nice. We all know that pull when coming across a truly beautiful axe and feeling our hands, unwittingly, reaching for our Venmo accounts. James Coverdale’s work is exactly that: I almost immediately abandoned my “no new axes”…
Tiny Axe Thrower Interview: Stephen Haldis aka Heavin’ Stephen
Stephen is a longtime friend of this blog. He sent me a few messages here and there when I first started the thing, and I had the good fortune of meeting him at IATC last year while I was freaked…
Axe Thrower (Slash Photographer) Interview: Matt Traino
For this interview, I wanted to get a perspective I hadn’t yet encountered: the photographer. Now, obviously chances are fairly high that any photographer hired for an axe throwing tourney (in this case, Choptober) would have some background in axe…
