Michael Barton from Houston has come a long way since his first attempt at axe throwing five years ago. Initially, he was terrible at it, but now, after years of practice and dedication, he is heading back to the World Axe Throwing Championships along with his practice partners from Hurling Hatchets.
Barton, along with Jorge Sanchez and Chris Kendig, have made significant improvements in their skills and are feeling confident about their chances at the Championships in Tulsa. Barton will be competing in both Hatchets and Knives categories and his goal is simple – he wants to win. He is ready to give it his all and is determined to come out on top.
When asked about the secret to throwing an axe accurately, Kendig emphasizes the importance of hard work, practice, and mastering different techniques. Barton adds that the key to excelling in axe throwing lies more in the mind than in physical skill. He believes that keeping calm and focused is crucial to being a successful axe thrower. With their combined skills, hard work, and determination, Barton and his teammates are ready to take on the world of axe throwing once again.
