What is a Gallic throwing stick?
The throwing stick is an ancient object designed to be thrown.
Unlike the modern returning boomerang, which is primarily designed to follow a curved path and return to the thrower, the throwing stick belongs to a different category of throwing objects.
The Gallic throwing stick shown here is a replica inspired by ancient traditions and the history of the Celtic and Gallic peoples.
Its appeal is as much historical as it is athletic: it offers a chance to discover an ancient throwing sport through a wooden object.
A replica inspired by Gallic history
The design is inspired by the traditional throwing sticks used by European peoples for hunting and throwing.
The shape of the stick allows you to experience the feel of a traditional throwing implement while benefiting from contemporary, expert craftsmanship.
A throwing stick made of solid recycled walnut
The Gallic throwing stick is made of solid walnut sourced from planks of recycled old furniture.
Using wood salvaged from old furniture gives existing material a second life.
Walnut is also prized for its natural appearance, density, and grain. As a result, each piece may exhibit natural variations in color, grain pattern, and texture. These differences are not defects; they are a testament to the wood’s natural and unique character.

How do you throw a javelin?
The throwing stick is thrown using a different technique than that used for a return boomerang.
Before you begin, choose a very open area and make sure no one is in the throwing zone or in an area where the object could land.
Start with controlled throws to get a feel for the stick's trajectory.
You should increase the intensity gradually as you become more comfortable with the movement.
Wind conditions must also be taken into account: gusts can significantly alter the trajectory.
