This skilled axe thrower from Nova Scotia, Canada manages to perfectly execute a variety of trick shots ranging from double bullseyes to no look shots.
The trick shots include underarm and overarm bullseyes, under the leg shots, no look shots and landing hats on the axes.
Matthew Pushie, who nailed these amazing trick shots over the course of four years, said: "This [two arm double bullseye] is one of the first trick shots I got on video, I love doing them now. A good friend of mine gave me this idea to try.
"When I made the shot finally I was in complete amazement, it is probably the most awkward shot I have ever made.
"It’s like trying to pat your head with one hand and rub your belly with the other while holding a couple of axes that weigh between 3-5 lbs!"
Pushie also told Newsflare that his team are hoping to travel to Sweden later this year for an axe throwing tournament: "I am part of 'Team Canada' as we are calling it, there are the world championships of double bit axe throwing going on this year in Sweden.
"We are doing all we can to raise money for the trip, we have been looking for sponsors, collecting donations, going to the events in our area selling goods, and teaching people how to throw an axe."
This is one of the first trick shots I got on video, I love doing them now, a good friend of mine gave me this idea to try, it took me about 6 tries in total, overhand throw using my left, and an underhand throw with the right, on two different targets at the same time, ended up hitting not one but two bullseyes
When I made the shot finally I was in complete amazement, it is probably the most awkward shot I ever made, it’s like trying to pat your head with one hand, and rub your belly with the other, while holding a couple of axes that weigh between 3-5 lbs lol, I was all by myself if I didn’t video it no one would have even known it happened.
The world championships of double bit axe throwing is for people who throw axes, not for tomahawks, knives or hatchets like the use in almost all other throwing venues, it’s open to anyone to sign up for, u don’t have to be the best in the world to make it, but they best always do come out to play, you get 6 rounds of throws, 6 throws in every round, and your final score is out of 180, the most points you can get in a throw is 5, this will be the second world champion and this year it will be held in Sweden, it happens every two years, the first one was in Germany, no cash prize as of yet, but there are some pretty nice prizes to win, which is up to the host country to decide on, it’s just a sport with friendly people who want to see everyone do good, we all cheer for each other, it’s basically like a giant family that gets together for a reunion, we all call in the #AXEFAM, doesn’t matter if your Canadian, German, Swedish, Swiss, Czech, Irish, Scotish, American or any other place we are all there to support each other.
This is me again lol, and me filming, after I was able to get a double bullseye with two axes, using two hands, it just seemed like the next shot to do lol enjoy
