I get a lot of ideas, at times. Sometimes from what other axe throwers say, sometimes from the middle point between waking and sleeping. But those little ideas, well, they often don’t materialize into complete, full-fledged posts.
They need to go somewhere.
They need to pain you, dear reader, as much as they’ve pained me.

iatf announces new ruleset and tourney circuit
The IATF, recognizing the median age of axe throwers is creeping higher and higher, has recently announced a new ruleset designed specifically for the 50+ crowd.
The International Senior Axe Throwing Federation (ISATF) (Thanks, Chopman) will not change the core of the game, according to IATF representatives. Rather, additional considerations will be made for members, including:
- 1 break during matches to complain about aching joints
- Points awarded for whoever takes the least amount of time to bring up the level of noise in the venue (thanks again, Chopman)
- Naps
- Megaphones for scorekeepers
- Ensuring all venues have double the amount of chairs they have now
- Prune juice on tap
- Each tourney will have at least 3 people under the age of 25 to make fun of

(Turns out, I’m too flighty to actually plan anything, but AALOTO was kind enough to entertain me when I sent like six messages to them about actually doing it.)
How long can I hide under an axe-maker’s table during a tourney before they notice? A Badger goes undercover.
I wore (X amount) of battle vests while throwing: A story of resilience and hope.
