How about a creature similar to a chameleon:
that can also spinspin and throw an object super fast?
Chameleon's tongue is ultra quick with a crazy fast release (imaging 0 to 100 km/s in 0.01 seconds!). It has a telescopic mechanism for stretching/retracting. This provides both high speed and high accuracy for even catching the flying insects. And it has a sticky end for getting the prey to its mouth.
I can imagine a similar mechanism on a creature for doing the reverse: throwing. It picks up the rocks or other (small enough) objects with its "tongue", retracts it and then stretches it with deadly speed and releasing the object with the momentum.
For adding extra range (and accuracy), its tongue may also have the ability to give a spin to the projectile. Like the rifling in almost every modern gun.
