"Had a kid pick up the 8 lb shot, throw it like a baseball about 80 ft. "
Uh, I don't think it is possible to throw an 8 lb. shot like a baseball. I tried it once and nearly dislocated my shoulder.
>>I don't think it is possible to throw an 8 lb. shot like a baseball. I tried it once and nearly dislocated my shoulder.
It's not. I used to toss 12 LB shot in high school, and we used to pick up the women's 8LB shots. Even though they were lighter, you still couldn't toss it like a baseball.
And no way could a kid toss it 80ft. If he could, he'd be Olympic champion by now.
