Tommy Parnell
From First Throw to Axe Throwing Addict
Here at Axe Play, every throw tells a story — but some stand out as true legends. This is the axe throwing success story of Tommy Parnell. What started as a casual date night in 2022 turned into an unbelievable journey from nervous first-timer to a ranked pro competing in IATF and WATL leagues. His story shows how dedication, coaching, and a supportive community can turn anyone into an axe throwing champion.
He first walked through our doors going out on a date in 2022. A complete newcomer to throwing. Tommy had never held an axe before, let alone threw one at a target. Our incredible staff members, showed him the ropes and after his first throw stuck he was hooked. He was one of the worst throwers we’ve come through the doors. Even still, he had tons of fun with our staff. Eventually, he joined our Monday league. Week after week, he kept coming back.
