Let this be a warning: if you're not good at throwing an axe, don't do it while people are around. Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth was teasing an upcoming segment about Timbersports when he threw an axe, missing the board.

The axe may have missed the intended target, but it did hit Jeff Prosperie, a drummer in West Point’s marching band.


I was hit by an axe while performing a drum solo live on National TV.....words I never imagined saying! This happened last Sunday and I have been reluctant to post but starting to receive inquiries from concerned family and friends. I am thankful to God that the double sided blade only hit broadside on the outer elbow with significant impact and a couple of cuts as it fell along my wrist. It could have been much worse or fatal. Focusing on full physical and emotional recovery.
