Sharpshooting bar patrons flock to new cutting-edge competition

NEW YORK - Leave it to Brooklyn hipsters to combine craft beer and sharp objects.

A bar called 'Kick Axe Throwing' is the first in the Big Apple to pick up on the ax-throwing trend that is sweeping the US - a sport that some enthusiasts hope will take off the way bowling did in the last century.

"People are like, 'Sharp objects and beer? What a great idea that is!' But truthfully, after you have a couple drinks you start to actually throw a little bit better," said Alexander Stine, a resident "ax-pert".
