Javelins - Written and Pictorial Sources
#1
I am looking for comprehensive source material (single or multiple source) on Javelin Practice. I know that the Ancient Olympics had Javelin tossing as a sport and obviously they were used in the Military and hunting as well so I am wondering if there is any pointers anyone passed on to us from back in the day. Wink

Some points I am looking for-

Target?
Common Distance thrown to qualify or train for
Any winners or extraordinary feats with Javelins
Javelin Descriptions Lengths,Weights,etc.
Number of Javelins Carried Commonly
or anything else...

I like Javelins... :mrgreen:
