A javelin is typically used as a throwing weapon in Track and Field competitions or hunting. Its design allows for long-distance throwing with accuracy, making it useful in sports or for hunting prey from a distance.
The distance a javelin is thrown is measured from the point where the javelin first strikes the ground to the nearest mark made by the point of the javelin that remains in the ground. The measurement is then taken in a straight line from the first mark to the throwing line.
If a javelin does not stick into the ground, the throw is measured from the point where it first strikes the ground to the nearest edge of the curve made by the javelin. This method ensures a fair measurement of the distance thrown, even if the javelin does not stick into the ground.
A measuring tape is commonly used to measure the distance a javelin travels. The tape is extended from the starting point to where the javelin landed to determine the distance thrown.
