In the SCA, Thrown Weapons refers to throwing knives, axes, and spears. Some events also include atlatl (also called a “spear thrower,” this device throws long darts or arrows).

Unlike other martial activities, you do not need to be authorized (you do not need approved armor, or a minimal level of training) to participate in Thrown Weapons, although the Marshall will inspect your weapons for safety.
