Boomerangs

OREGON HAT

“HAT” shape makes a more comfortable grip. Retains more spin at the end of flight for more hover than other beginner models. Made from aircraft plywood, some of it through-dyed before lamination. Range, 25-35 meters (75-120 ft.); Span, 335 mm (13.4 in.); Weight, 65 grams (2.25 oz.).

TRI-BLADE

Looks like an airplane propeller in flight. Easy to catch. Great for learning to throw. Made from 5-ply marine mahogany. Range, 15-25 meters (50-80 ft.); Span, 330 mm (12 in.); Weight, 2.5 oz.

STONES THROW

For many years this small, basic Aussie wood ‘rang’ has taught thousands of kids and adults the fun and excitement of boomerang sport. Light to toss, easy to catch, and reasonably priced. Crafted in Australia. Natural color with Aussie decorations. Ideal for beginners. Range, 17 yds.; Span, 14 in.; Weight, 2 oz.

NOR-WESTER

Just when you may have been thinking the “old fashioned” traditional shapes were no longer interesting or exciting, along comes the NOR-WESTER. Doug Dufrene has created a very modern ‘rang’, based upon his years of making and competing. With his special strip-laminated, hardwood construction using northern maple, this new boom takes an easy toss (or hard if you dare). It handles all sorts of wind conditions, gives you a beautiful spin and exciting final hover. Range, 35 yds.; Span, 15 in.; Weight, 3 oz.
