Long pointed spear (7)

I believe the answer is:

javelin

(Other definitions for javelin that I've seen before include "Spear for field event" , "It's thrown in a field event" , "Field event projectile" , "Sporting spear" , "Spear thrown in competitive sport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
