Competed in another marathon axe throwing tournament on Sunday. The level of competition was crazy, 12 out of 19 people hitting the max score throughout the day, i hit it 6 times, the top guy hit it 12 times. Finished the round robin in 3rd and then after an incredibly tough finals came home with 3rd place. Everything is really coming together, i have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the last 3 major comps ive entered and its all great practice for Sydney in September :)

Nice to see you too :) Yeh it can be tough, small adjustments can make big differences and trying to be consistent is the key :)

Interesting! What distance(s?) do you normally throw in the competitive scene?

If you win in Sydney do you then have to compete against Jason Momoa? 😊

About 4.5m for hatchet and 5.5m for big axe. Momoa got nothing on me :P
