Aim Games Interview Series

In our work to elevate sports throwing and evolve our organization’s impact, we find highlighting the successes within the Aim Games community to be a greatly important component. The wealth of skills and talent, countless hours of collective hard work and shared love for the sport among the athletes, performers and business owners, contain unique stories of experience and accomplishments. By gathering these stories, we are building a window to the world of what we do in our Interview Project, a collection of ongoing series published exclusively on our website, featuring the athletes, star personalities and many more who participate in and partner with the Aim Games. 

The project was initiated in Spring of 2024 with the “Stars Of The Aim Games”, presenting interviews of the strongest throwers of our tournaments, from around the world. From this series, we are building our Trading Cards project, featuring the best of these top competitors across the history of our games. However, it is but one of many exciting series, active and coming soon.  Currently running along with Stars Of The Aim Games are our “Performance Stars”. We’re reaching out to the living greats of the Impalement Arts, presenting firsthand insight into the performers of the most challenging art in the activity of knife throwing. With “Facilities Highlights”, we’re talking to the throwing venue owners that operate Aim Games lanes in their facilities, hearing their experiences becoming venue owners and both playing and hosting the Aim Games. 

In our upcoming "Impact" Series, we’re taking time with those who have earned through competing in our tournaments, opening up an in-depth look into the changes made in athlete’s lives playing the Aim Games. Down the road, in our future Art Contest series we will exhibit what goes into producing themed art for the Aim Games and the artist’s history in participation and successes. The Aim Games community is a rich resource of sports throwing wisdom and history, brimming with insight into our work. In presenting these interviews, we hope not only to teach the world about our organization, but to elevate our community and showcase their stories. We encourage everyone to check out all the exciting interviews currently published and stay tuned for more as we expand the view into the Aim Games and Sports Throwing.

1. Facility Highlight of The Traveling Axt

The Traveling Axt

Hailing From: Minot, North Dakota

Established: March 2021

Owners: Tyler Jung and Ron Doty

The Traveling Axt is a truly unique entity within the Sports Throwing Venue industry. While they opened their brick and mortar location in Minot on Mother’s Day of 2023, owners Tyler Jung and Ron Doty have been operating their business as a mobile Sports Throwing entertainment package since its inception in the Fall of 2021. They have done everything from team building exercises, Christmas parties and other corporate events to more personal celebrations such as weddings, proms, homecoming banquets and more. At their venue, the focus is ongoing tournaments and league play. The Traveling Axt can host any league wanted, whether it be women’s, youth, church group, anyone.  All leagues are welcome, and both mobile and venue activities are open to all ages. 

Starting as throwers themselves in their backyards and garages, Tyler and Ron eventually found a trailer suited for their needs to open as a company, and in fall of 2021, spent a week welding and fabricating out the trailer for an event the next weekend with a local bar that has been a huge supporter of their business ever since. They cite Dustin Kerr of Perplebunny’s Axe House as being the biggest influence in becoming Sports Throwing venue owners, helping them to get their leagues and tournaments going. 

Along with making memorable experiences and spreading the love of Sports Throwing, The Traveling Axt has a serious mission to help athletes improve their game. In 2023, Tyler and Ron saw four of their customers place in the top-8 at the International Ax Throwing Federation’s regional tournament, with two advancing to the top-4. 

When it comes to the Aim Games, they’ve been hosting and playing since K20 and say they’ve been having a blast. Tyler tells us, “Our customers have done pretty well with it. We try to explain the general rules and gameplay thoroughly before they start an entry. We also typically help film and make sure to answer questions and help them so they are aiming for the proper target. My wife, Shannon, and one of our throwers, Daniel, help us out and have become pretty versed in the games, quickly. Setup has been pretty quick for all the games, and K20 was really easy. One of the best parts is that you can throw at your own pace and time. Gameplay has been pretty straightforward and the Aim Games staff answers all questions quickly. It has given our customers another target system to throw at and allow them to compete in a tournament that is easy to enter at no extra cost to them. This is a great opportunity”.

We recommend booking well in advance, especially the mobile entertainment packages as they are very popular, but walk-ins are always welcome at their venue. If you’re in Minot and looking for the Aim Games, look no further than the Traveling Axt. Visit their website at https://thetravelingaxt.com and book today!
