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"

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

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