The pro lumberjacks got into ax throwing, but so did a teacher or two from the Ely school. And of course the kids who got an afternoon out of school were VERY happy!

Nice series Steve. Great expressions on the kids faces.

hey! Some great shots! Looks like you were having fun!

Fun? Of course I was having fun. Why else would a fella take up photography?

Lucky for you they were a good aim.

Of course you're right, but sometimes it looks like you're having more fun than anyone is entitled! I thought you were going to jump into the fray when they started to throw the axes!

Great action shots. That would have been a fun event to watch.

Thanks, all. I have thrown double-bit axes in competition before. It was great fun.

I'd have liked to get a few different angles, but of course those liability-insurance-minded folks organizing the event wouldn't let me stand directly behind the target. What's wrong with those people?

Great pictures except for the obscene words on the kid's sweatshirt in the upper left corner of the second picture

Good thing you weren't a little more to the right.

Awesome shots Steve. Looks like a really fun day.

yak, I've NEVER been a little more to the right.

Yak. They are rated #1. Again. What's so obscene about that?

Great shots Steve! In your avatar you look a little like a lumberjack.

I hope your insurance is up to date Steve! Flying axes make me nervous!

Great shots Steve! But i gotta tell ya, I would have ducked and missid every shot when they started throwing the axes.
