The modern sport of axe throwing involves a competitor throwing an axe at a target, attempting to hit the bullseye as near as possible. Axe throwing has historically been an event in lumberjack competitions.[1] As of the fall of 2020 there are commercial locations in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Poland where participants can compete, similar to dart throwing, as well as opportunities at festivals and some theme parks.[2][3][4][5][6]
