Anyone here throw the javelin?

[nick1985]

I am a distance/mid distance guy, but when i got hurt this season i decided i wanted to do something instead of sit around, so i picked up the javelin. I was throwing about 90-100 feet, i wasnt very good. Then my injury got so bad that my leg was about to snap in half so i had to stop. Now my leg is healed and today i went out and practiced the jav by myself and was throwing 130-140 feet! i looked to see if i was throwing a womens jav, NOPE! not sure what i was doing differently, but my throws are deffinately looking great for some reason, i might even place at conference this next year.

anyone else throw?

Throw at 45 degrees relative to the ground for maximum distance. 🙂

that's only true in a vacuum.

So what angle do you suggest?

 

[Yossarian]

do your own physics homework 😉 iirc it's a little higher than 45.

My mom drove a real nice Javelin before her friend wrecked it, metamorphic paint and perfect interior. It was nice.

Now, throwing a javelin, no I don't do that 😛

Does an atl-atl count?

I don't think I want to throw a javalenia

Isn't that sort of cruel?

I don't think I could get much distance @ all throwing one, do they land on their feet like a cat?

 

[zerocool1]

no...but I am a pro javelin catcher...j/k I don't think I know anybody that is

No, but I used to own one exactly like THIS ONE.

If that's a euphemism for masturbation, then yes.
