used to throw a 12 pound one around 37 ft or so in high school if my memory serves me
I was the 8th grade city champion discus thrower and could put the shot about as far as the guys that were "shot putters"

Put it 49' in highschool. Got 3rd in district

With no practice, probably 15-18 ft.

I have a feeling I would be sorely disappointed in my result.

I'll try and report back. I'm guessing 15 feet, if I'm being optimistic.

That was soph year. If I tried throwing a 16 lb one now I'd probably throw it 10 feet and tear a muscle
More like tear a muscle picking it up and fall over 10 feet.

Remember how many we have who could easily throw an NFL football 60+ yards? Farther than many NFL quarterbacks threw in the QB long distance challenge?
My favorite was how many couch potato guys who said they can throw 80-85

I can do that while laying on my couch

Could barely put it 40' in high school. It would make better use as a bocci ball today.

My daughter is 15.5 pounds and I can throw her across the room.
So about that far
