Dear Clutchy,I’ve been throwing for a while now, and do pretty well in my league. But when tournament time comes around (or even when I’m throwing in a regular league and the score is close), it feels like I always…
Opinion
Tearing down to build back: is relearning to throw worth the heartache?
Sometimes, dear reader, sometimes the universe just lines stuff up for you to notice. To get your attention. The universe, in all its immense, unknowable indifference, sends you a series of coincidences just to make sure you’re picking up what…
I straight up quit an axe throwing marathon.
I want to say I’m rarely a quitter, but I don’t know how true that statement really is. I do have gumption, for sure. It’s a fact – I won a tenacity award in college. I had a real Rudy…
New throw. New axe? A story in 3 parts.
For the past…I dunno…almost year or so, I’ve been throwing the same axes. They are lovely. I love them. And I like to think they love me, too. And if you’ve paid attention at all to this lil’ novel I’ve…
Dear Clutchy: I’m throwing in Round 1 – please help!

Axe throwing isn’t dying, so stop thinking it is.

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…
IATF Announces new pay-per-month premium app. I have feelings.
The IATF announced today the upcoming retirement of AxeScores (bye, bud. Thanks for my unhealthy obsession with ya), and the upcoming release of the IATF App: “The IATF is excited to introduce our new IATF App, set to replace the…
Great Axpectations: Set goals, but don’t depend on ’em.
First, let me apologize for abandoning you last week. You see, I had the Norovirus, and I was only capable of sleeping and cosplaying as a gargoyle, so I didn’t have much drive or desire to write pithy things about…
