Throws and hides (5)
I believe the answer is:
pelts
I believe this is a double definition.
'throws' is the first definition.
(pelting is a kind of throwing)
'hides' is the second definition.
('pelt' can be a synonym of 'hide')
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for pelts that I've seen before include "Animal skins with fur still on" , "Throws missiles for animal skins" , "Animal hides" , "Animal furs" .)
