Stick tipped with iron (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quarterstaff

(Other definitions for quarterstaff that I've seen before include "Downsize by 75%" , "Stout pole once used as a weapon" , "Long wooden pole once used as a weapon" , "stick for old disputes" , "Former long wooden weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
