Dear Clutchy, I’ve decided to throw in Round 1 of the IATC – but I’m nervous about doing well enough to earn a spot in Round 2! My axe house was only given 3 spots, and I’m not the strongest…
Opinion
I finished week 7 and there’s a lonesome feeling.

I messed up by thinking too much: a guide.

We have a pro in every axe tourney. Here’s how I reset expectations.
I have a big love for Bob, our resident pro-thrower. He cares about the axe throwing community we have, is always willing to teach and talk, and is a fixture of Meduseld Meadery. The dude is also a phenom, and…
The joy of being a mid-level boss fight in axe throwing.
We all have roles in this little funtime sport of ours. Some of us are champions – collecting podium finishes, big checks, and plaques – like an overweight pigeon in a park near a retirement home. Others of us are…
Zen and The Art of The Axe Tourney: Heckler’s APATC.
One of the great things about big events is they can bring out some big surprise performances. Watching the Open Tournament at APATC 24, I saw a lot (A LOT) of unexpected outcomes. Some of my favourite conversations on the…
