Part of a javelin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shaft

(Other definitions for shaft that I've seen before include "Long rod or column of light" , "Stem, handle; (light) ray" , "Vertical excavation" , "Mine access; handle" , "Ray; access hole to a mine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
