Plumbata were really nasty fletched throwing darts used by the Late Roman Empire and apparently they could out range javelins, so apparently 80m or so. But can they?
My friend Michael who throws Javelin for Team GB came along to see how far he could throw them. We don’t know how far they have been thrown in the last 1500 years, but his efforts must be up there.
For budget medieval replicas of fantastic accuracy and value
For commissions and custom work
For merch
For those who enjoyed Arrows vs Armour
Many thanks once again to Michael Allison of Team GB, follow him here
