Local veteran students may have an ax to grind, but it’s all in good fun.

The Western Illinois University-Quad Cities Veterans Resource Center, along with local colleges and universities, is hosting the Commander’s Axe Throwing Cup 24-25 on Thursday, September 12 from 5-7 p.m. at Big River Bowling, 2902 E. Kimberly Road, Suite A in Davenport.

The Commander’s Cup is a quarterly competition among veteran students at WIU, Black Hawk College, Augustana College, St. Ambrose University and Eastern Iowa Community Colleges. Participants compete in bowling, ax throwing, archery, trivia and other events. The winning college/ university will receive the traveling trophy. The competition is open and free to any student veterans from the sponsoring schools.
