12 Pound Shot Record?

[bigfish]

Has anybody thrown the 12 pound shot further than Michael Carter? Am sure Gary Hill knows this answer-I don't

I read about some practice marks, obviously very unofficial: 14# 83'0?, 15# 78'? by Oldfield in '77,'75. 4k/8.8# 91'10" Edward Sarul '83.
Speaking of Carter's record, is there a film of it?? Sure would be nice if someone could put it on this website so we could have a look. Especially if it were a nice perpendicular view, so the whole distance could be appreciated.

I don't remember where I read it, but I did read of 90' with the 12lb shot by at least one individual. I wouldn't be suprised if there were more.
