Throws missiles at furry things (5)
I believe the answer is:
pelts
'throws' is the definition.
(pelting is a kind of throwing)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pelts that I've seen before include "Animal hides" , "Animal skins with fur still on" , "Animal furs" , "Throws missiles for animal skins" .)
