I heard about a guitar-throwing contest on the radio - some kind of promotion.
How far do you think you could throw a guitar? What technique would you use?
I think I would use a one handed toss like a tennis swing. I think I could throw one at least 120 feet.
Thoughts?

You're greatly overestimating your ability to throw a guitar. I threw shotput and discus in high school and with a lot of training, my best discus throw was about 120 ft and a discus is considerably lighter than a guitar. I think that your best bet would be to utilize a hammer throw technique (http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/8682/ham.htm) with both hands.

Im not a math guy but I am fairly certain 120 feet does not equal 90 yards

While that particular comment was pretty stupid, 30 yards is a much longer distance to throw something than people realize.

As am I. I completely thought you meant 90 feet. Either way, 40 yards is still much farther than you realize.

the discus is NOWHERE NEAR THE SHAPE OF A GUITAR. 120 feet is NOWHERE NEAR THE DISTANCE THAT AN AVERAGE PERSON COULD THROW A DISCUS. assuming that racersedge is SOMEHWAT THE AVERAGE PERSON.

I have no idea how far I could throw one. Electric or acoustic? Either way, I'd go with a hammer throw.
