Are you sure you don't have any stonefall traps?
...or active catapults?

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Is there a quick way to go about that?
Sure. Fire up Dwarf Therapist (which you should already be using) and click on the military tab. Click the Throwing column, and you can resort the list into descending order. Check for any dwarf with 0 or greater skill (0 = dabbling with XP, blank = no skill/XP).

Fin.

I was going to post something much like this. Then I fired up Dwarf Therapist to see exactly what that column is labeled. I discovered that there isn't a Throwing column. Nor a misc. object using column. This is in Dwarf Therapist version 0.6.10 on linux, if it makes a difference.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

Mine either, but I think you can make a custom layout that shows it, just forgot how to do that.

Another option is Runesmith.  You can't sort by attribute/skill (That I've found) but you can view it in the right tab, and just scroll down the list of dwarves until you find one with some skill.  Assuming it hasn't rusted away by now...

I had this happen recently too, didn't notice it at the time but I remember the 'spinning' report. I'll check and see if I can find it.

"Spinning" in a combat report can refer to any projectile or trap object, from arrows to steel serrated discs to thrown stones.
