Lars Andersen shoots arrows the fastest

harlequinn says...

Yes they are projectiles, so they are akin to an arrow. The big difference is that a bow has stored energy that is directed into the projectile (arrow). Spears and boomerangs do not - they are thrown.

They did have a device that gave mechanical advantage for spear throwing called a woomera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woomera_(spear-thrower)

I guess we'll never know if they would have arrived at the bow.

Just change archery to projectiles and it's 100% correct.
They just didnt have bows yet...
