You and I are probably the only two people here who have ever thrown axes. Before you were born, I was an actor and stuntman from 1977 on through the 90s. I worked on the Rockford Files, Fall Guy and Hill Street Blues to name a few. Bruce Barbour one of the best stuntmen in the business took me under his wing and taught me among many things, how to throw an axe. Thanks to him I was damn good. Here's a video of Bruce teaching his daughter Meagan how to throw a knife. Keep up the good brain stuff! Derek /Users/derek/Desktop/Bruce teaches Meagan.mov
No, I have never thrown an ax, but you had me at "frail medieval prince," which I think was the translation of my Hebrew name. Another delightful, dare I say...BULLSEYE?! Yes! It was there and I said it. And now, like Brave Sir Robin in Monty Python and The Holy Grail, I run away!
Where to begin. You referenced my namesake and relative - which is cool. I think throwing an axe is also cooler than firing a machine gun at one if those Vegas places. But , I worry about your Dads safety. First , your Mom gets a gun to shoot targets, and now you start to throw an axe.
Will - sorry you are so angry about today's world. I agree that it isn't a very pleasant place and I am sorry that my generation is leaving your generation and hopefully future generations the mess in which we find ourselves.
That said I have to say that my axe throwing experience was not as fulfilling as yours. Perhaps that was due to my failure to stick the axe blade in the wooden target. Perhaps I would get better if I spent more time at it.
But I do feel compelled to remind you that capitalism is the reason why we have axe throwing centers. Where else would you be able to start a business charging consumers for the opportunity to throw axes?
I guess I get some of my relief from today's messy world by playing softball with the Camelshits. Still hoping you will someday come back out. We can always use a frail prince and for the hour or two of playing ball with fellow frail princes you might find some relief from the everyday grind.
No axe throwing for me. I do however have axes to grind.
give the former a try, it might help with the latter!
Sound advice!
Hahahah frail medieval prince
Metaphorically… “He who throw axes has ten thrown back at him.” But sometimes, it’s damn worth it! LOL
The thing about axe throwing is he who throws axes has to go retrieve them if he wants to throw them again

I don’t think you know this, Eric, but Steven’s an explosives expert. All in the family!
