Plenty of quizzes can tell you how you'll succeed. The scientists at The Axe Badger dared to ask: can we create a quiz about failure. After years of patient research and exciting breakthroughs, our crack team of real, absolutely-do-exist Axe Badger R&D Department put together this 100% accurate quiz to help throwers peer into the future (but with science) and determine how they'll donk up their next marathon league. Fortunately, we used science and years of research to put th

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 pup was one of the first celebrities I knew about in the sport.

An anonymous IATF insider shared with the Axe Badger Newsroom a number of possible equipment additions -- additions that will become mandatory should the panel of throwers vote to implement the safety-equipment changes.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away," that sort of stuff. Unfortunately, there are precious few aphorisms for axe throwing. I'm here

I should have known about 10 minutes after waking up. All the signs were there, after all. Today (today being January 1st) was not the day for me to marathon. I wasn't ready for a marathon. I hadn't slept well, I didn't prep my bag or self. I was so sweepy and hungry and in the middle of a rather unenjoyable visit from the black dog himself. In short, I should have known, even at that early hour, that staying home would be a pretty smart move. But if you've learned nothing el
