Classic Hammer Throw Kids T-Shirt

The hammer throw evolved from its early informal origins to become part of the Scottish Highland games in the late 18th century, where the original version of the event is still contested today. In the contemporary version of the hammer throw, participants use the handle to whirl the hammer around their head and then throw it as far as they can. The shot put is a favorite at all good Highland Games. Competitors throw a large stone of around 20 - 26 lbs in weight as far as they can.
