Peter: which one do you think you will be making for Halloween? and how old is your son? i should get some ABS this thursday and could have one in your...
Not exactly what you're looking for Peter, but I remember posting this to the old rang-list as an idea for a new bat-rang shape, based on a sculpture in...
Dear David, Thank you for your generous offer! My son turns 5 next week, so there is still some time until he can throw any `real' boomerangs. At this point,...

My experience throwing at the beach (I live close to Surfside beach here in Texas) with blusterly winds at times has resulted with my best wind rangs made out...
Something I recently noticed when carving boomerangs is that I get more wind resistance when I carve less airfoil on the trailing wing instead of undercutting ...
Hi, my favorite wind rang is a "soft toss" trifly mod (#8 on the trifly mod page): http://www.kutek.net/boomplans/boomerang_plans/trifly_mods.php I've made one...
Wind-throwing requires more than just the correct boomerang. Thrower needs to understand winds and needs to spend time with learning to cope with changing...
