So, I finally got to a football field to throw my Cold Steel non-returning boomerang. Went about 45 yards first throw. I was very happy. Need to practice with it, to get my accuracy honed in.
My returning boomer was hand made from black walnut, signed and dated, so I have opted NOT to play with that. However, I do want a returning 'rang. I found http://KendallDavis.us What a great site! I found directions to make a cardboard indoor returning quad arm 'rang I made from a file folder. So (you know me ... LOL), I went to the hardware store, found a 2 ft. x 2 ft. x 3/4 in. ply, clean on both sides. Locate center. Put the paper on that and traced it - then took a wide plastic ruler I have (2 in. x 18 in.) and extended each of the four arms. Sanded it down, and now it goes about 270 degrees of arc. Need to fine tune it.
I will post pictures once I get it where I want it.
Anyone else throwing?
