¿Question #5004?
Randy Cox: How far could you throw (put) a shot?

PolarDad: How heavy is the shot?
ocdspectrum: 33 feet.
pricero1: Not very far, it would appear.
styates: Longest throw was 45 ft. I never had very good form.
Caedmus: Idunno 2 or 3 feet? :)
Felimid: If I managed more than five or ten feet, I'd be surprised.
popsicola: 3
kathleenryan: I hope far enough so it won't land on my foot.
Spirit of 70: Not far. I'm really out of shape.
DasViktor: Look up the women's record for shot put distance. Yeah, now cut that in half. There you go.
theDuckFarmer: Not far
gmcash: not far
ZeroZilla: I work with my arms a lot... and I need to push things often. I'm hoping that would help. Consequently, I'll go with a 'a healthy distance' since I don't want to look up how heavy they are and then estimate more accurately.
Ardos: no clue
vandemonium: depends on how much Jagermeister I've been drinking
Abigail: 6 metres.
jannelle: Up to my lips
DHEK: Not very far. I'm not very strong.
TheArchAngel: not far
aleo09: maybe 10ft.
Boarass: Um, perhaps a few centimeters.
Ender Barney: 23 feet
MightyMike: maybe 12 meters? long time ago I tried
illicit: A shot of what?
duron600: 10 meters maybe? Never tried...
pattonre: Been there done that ... but not well ... 30'-35' ... best that I can remember
vampywife: not very
Nekura: A lot further if I use a gun...
Favre4MVP: 200 yards. More or less.
brainrob: I've not done that for around 30 years so I don't have a clue
Watchmaker: Probably 30 feet?
djlg: Depends on the weight. About 10 feet IIRC.
bigbadsteve: never tried, but probably none too far
chrisinky: 10 feet, if I'm lucky
Mark Smith: Hopefully farther than my big toe.

Jim_P: That far ---------------------------------------------------------->
skrutsch: about an inch.
confuse_a_cat: Are we talking Olympic-weight?
javelin98: Far enough
Tim Synge: Is an area code like a postcode? If so, please note that my area code has letters in it as well as numbers.
flyinghogfish: How much are you paying?
RandallPeek: all the way
scriptorum: Far enough to avoid hitting my own foot, but not much farther.

fractaloon: 6 feet, maybe less
skelebone: Not very far, that's why I didn't do so well in track in school.
melissa: not far enough
jttm: Never tried, but hopefully, further than my feet.
CDRodeffer: Ugg. How heavy is such a thing? If it's less than 10 pounds, I might be able to toss it 30 feet. If it's 20 pounds, maybe 15 feet. If it's 50 pounds, maybe 5 feet.
Spielfreak: 10 - 12 feet? No muscles + no technique = weak result.
chaddyboy_2000: The last time I did it was in high school. I think it was somewhere around 20 feet.
Lord_Prussian: Haven't tried since junior high and I don't know these days
