A group of Houston Axe Throwers looking to hit a bullseye at the World Axe Throwing Championships!

Houston's Micheal Barton first tried Axe throwing five years ago and he'll admit, "I was terrible".
Five years later, Barton is headed back to the World Axe Throwing Championships along with a number of his practice partners from Hurling Hatchets.
Barton, along with his doubles partners Jorge Sanchez and Chris Kendig, has all come a long way. The three have worked their way up the ranks and they like their chances in Tulsa at the World Championships.
Barton will compete in both Hatchets and Knifes. "My expectations are I want to win, I'm going to go at it with everything I've got."
Is there a secret to throwing an axe with accuracy? Kendig says it's simple.
"It's a lot of hard work and practice, lots of technique." Barton says it's more of a mind game, "the secret to being a good axe thrower is all in your head, it's about keeping yourself calm."
