I’ve sat down and started this blog post and edited it a few times. If you haven’t noticed, its almost a month after the Final Choptober that I am posting. You probably wont believe this, but about a week ago I was ready to make it live. However, I decided I would make it live on Thanksgiving Day instead. First, because of the spirit of being thankful. Second, because in my mind, maybe people are stepping away from the fast pace of life and relaxing with family and friends that day. If they are, they are going to need to get away from them for a few minutes (HAHA) and maybe releasing this will ..read more

There is a LOT coming up, so thought it would be good to put it all in one place. It’s not easy to find what we all internally know about what is coming up…. and I personally suck at letting people know. I had every intention of doing this prior to the last few marathons that went on, but I failed. Here is my attempt at getting it all out there now! The Choptober Challenge – 2023 Edition So we all know this is coming, but there is a lot going on. Let’s break it down by day. Thursday Starting on Thursday Oct 25th, we have (probably) one of the biggest IATF Marathon Leagues ever run simultaneous ..read more

The final Choptober Challenge. You took it for granted all this time. Who could live with themselves if they knowingly missed the LAST Choptober Challenge?! ….On the 5th anniversary! Not me.

First, thank God its over! Second, COME BACK! What a weekend! The 2022 Choptober Challenge did not disappoint. Absolutely one for the record books and one Choppers can be proud to have hosted.

The 2022 Choptober Challenge will be taking place this year. Mark you calendars and save the dates! It will take place October 28 – 30th As you are probably aware, the Choptober Challenge was the first to attempt and successfully host a 256 person axe throwing tournament.

Not an axe throwing tournament, that was fun. Will you help make history, again? More details will be released as things progre ..read more

The Countess Cup is in the record books!

What an amazing weekend of women’s axe throwing! The Countess Cup has FINALY taken place! It’s hard to believe that it was the spring of 2019 when Choppers originally announced the very first, all women’s, major axe throwing tournament. Other women’s event have taken place at other venues since, which is awesome and we are so happy to see it. However, this one, the Countess Cup, was ours. Good or bad, we owned it. It became something that kept me up at night. There was not anything we could have done to prevent the delays we faced from the Covid-19 shut down in 2020. The nasty emails, DM’s, pr ..read more

March Madness is Back!

Eighty years ago, in 2020 we held one of the first team tournaments for our March Madness TPS! event. My idea at that time was to create teams players could form, but needed to fall in certain parameters to help handicap the teams to help make it more balanced and fair. I still defend the formula created then, but know it is far from ideal. That TPS! turned out to be one of the all time favorites people always bring up. I know there is something to be said for having teams and it will progress the sport of axe throwing in a much needed way. So when Joey the Hat came to me with a different idea ..read more

The Countess Cup’s new date of April 30th – May 1st is quickly approaching. We announced this date in June of 2021. Unfortunately, there are some who are not able to make the new date.

We are not charging any transfer fees, we simply just ask you fill out a transfer form. If coordinating this event without any hiccups isn’t hard enough, we are dealing with many other hurdles completely out of our control. Keeping tra ..read more
