I met up with Queen Bee at the U.S. Championship this year, and interviewed her JUST before she had an amazing match with Canexican – I feel like the interview would have been different had it happened just after that…

Axe Thrower Interview: the Mattador
This dude oozes cool. Calm. I’d seen him around/chatted with him before, but after the person he was with declined an interview (the first time that’s happened to me — which I’m still reeling from, honestly), I decided to do…
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,…
Axe Venue Interview: Taps, Axes & Games!
I’ve known Tim for a while. We’d see each other at tourneys and, much as I think is the case, he started treating me like a long-lost friend after maybe the second interaction. Hell, maybe after the first one. His…
Tiny Axe Thrower Interview: Marcus Artis (Throwdo Baggins)
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…

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…
Tiny axe thrower interview: Native
Dear reader: maybe a year ago, I interviewed Native. But, me being me, I actually recorded nothing at all. It’s a shame, as the entire interview happened in a rain storm, and it was very romantic/dramatic. But I had the…
Axe Couples Counseling
If you could wager on “most common responses to a question posed to a community,” I’d put the house on knowing the axe community’s most common answer to: “What’s your favourite thing about Axe Throwing?” “The people, the community, the friends I’ve made.” …
