“The skill of muscle-propelled ranged weapons, such as throwing knives, spears and grenades.”— In-game description
“The higher your Throwing skill, the more likely you are to hurl a thrown weapon like a rock, Molotov cocktail or grenade exactly where you want to.”— Cut description from Fallout 3

Though the Throwing skill was removed from Fallout 3, this change was not made until partway through development of the game. The Throwing skill itself remains in the game's resources, but is not included in the skill menu and is not used by any weapons or items.
