Five years ago, Michael Barton of Houston, Texas first tried axe throwing and struggled with it. But today, he’s headed back to the World Axe Throwing Championships alongside his practice partners from Hurling Hatchets. Barton will be competing in both Hatchets and Knives, setting his sights on winning and giving it his all.
According to Kendig, the key to throwing an axe with accuracy lies in hard work, practice, and mastering the technique. Barton believes that being a successful axe thrower is more about mental strength and staying calm during competitions. As they prepare for the World Championships, Barton, Sanchez, and Kendig are ready to showcase the skills they have honed over the years and demonstrate their passion for the sport. With determination and focus, they are looking forward to making their mark on the competitive axe throwing scene.
