Riddle

I have many feathers to help me fly. I have a body and head, but I'm not alive. It is your strength that determines how far I go. You can hold me in your hand, but I'm never thrown. What am I?

Choose an answer

A.A dart
B.A javelin
C.A frisbee
D.An arrow
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 7 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

An arrow

Why this is the answer

An arrow has fletching ("feathers"), a shaft ("body"), and a point ("head"), and the archer's own strength -- not a throw -- is what sends it flying from the bow.
