Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship
promoted by Knifethrowing.info andAxtwerfen.de and Eurothrowers.orgTo promote the exchange between axe- and knife throwers in Europe, in 2001 the European Throwing Club Flying Blades (Eurothrowers) started the "Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship". The meeting has since been established as the central annual competition and meeting place for throwers from all over Europe, and is assigned to a different country each year.
If you are interested in organising the event in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.
