I was first exposed to throwing in 2016 when I said I’d film some training material. Knives weren’t a great interest but I soon found that axes, the bigger the better, were. However, why throw a knife when you can throw an axe.
Around Christmas 2016 I got my first Double Bit throwing axe and was hooked. I continued throwing a variety of tomahawks and at the 2017 National Championship co-ran the combined introductory Double Bit competition.
Immediately after that I took a crazy journey across Germany to compete in the first World Championship in Double Bit Axe Throwing coming 11th.
This was followed by the Eurothrowers Championships in Hungary where I broke the handle of one of my hawks but found my new “babies” the Werner Lengmuller tomahawks I now use for precision events.
I co-organised the first British Open Double Bit Championships in April 2018 at Woodend and won the womens event. This was followed by the Irish Open Double Bit where I came 4th in a world class womens event.
This was followed by the second UK Nationals (slight disaster…), and it wasn’t until the Eurothrowers meeting in Czech Republic that my confidence returned and I achieved a PB in long distance hawk – another 80 cm would have gained a podium place.
Placing 2nd at the first monthly DB throw at Hull improved things, (love beating the boys!!!)
