Big Throwers Meeting / European Championship

promoted by Knifethrowing.info and (external link / new window)Axtwerfen.de and (external link / new window)Eurothrowers.org

To promote the exchange between axe- and knife throwers in Europe, in 2001 the European Throwing Club Flying Blades ((external link / new window)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.



Standard competition rules

In September 2008, representatives from 4 European countries negotiated a common set of competition rules. After a revision in 2010, those are used in most international European competitions:
