Craig,
Although a number of quarterbacks are also very accomplished javelin throwers
(Terry Bradshaw, Hall of Fame QB, for example), it is a slightly different
technique, so gauging javelin distance based on football distance isn't an exact
science. However, when I was throwing in college, I also played football, (and,
like you, high and triple jumped). I could throw a football a little over 50
yards. Consistently my javelin throws were over 190 feet. I want to make one
point though... javelin throwing is more technique than it is arm strength
(although arm strength does help). Best of luck.
John

Not only a new member, I'm a high jumper and triple jumper. I have
just finished my first season in 25 years. My first question to the
group is, I can still throw a pro football 50+ yards. I have never
done the javelin. I live in Co. and have no availability to throw (
don't even have javelin yet). Can anyone give me an idea of what
distance I might be able to expect? Any masters throwers on this
site? Thanks Craig
