Just stoppen ta say Congrats on u're Boomerang and Stick throwing Comp.
It sounds u had a great time.
IDK I really SUCK at Stick throwing Cos My Wife just Wont retrieve the Darn Stick
Like ta C u guys more in games
ALL THE BEST!

Actually I made a throwstick special for my dog....no paint and it goes about 80m...he gets really frustrated running after boomerangs. The fist time I threw one with him he ran out after it and as it turned and started to come back he slowed a bit and then as it came back and I caught it, he seemed almost ripped off somehow. Well about 3 throws later he figured out to just run out about 10m and wait and just go after it on the return Smart dog.

Hey Whip, congrats on your boomerang comp!

To be honest i dont understand how you get the ongest distance throw with an object that retuns to the very piont it was launched or how the hell you play golf with that type an object :huh

But you had fun andsomehow beet others that were attemting the same thing and really thats whats important

Was the comp held close by your cottage

Love ya man:)

Well Long Distance or LD is measured by the furthest outreaching point from the point you throw from. You throw from the middle of a 40m line and there are 7 spotters that watch and point at the longest distance and then the judge moves to under that longest spot and we use a range finder between the judge and the line. The US record holder won...again...his record is 163m.

Now for golf we use different sticks that don't return. When Kylie (Another name for throwstick) Golf was invented we used kylies that looked similar to real Aboriginal throwsticks used for hunting but made out of Lexan (bulletproof glass) or hardwoods. Like the black one at the top of this picture. The lower ones are what we use now.



I made some up to look like golf clubs...

Wow!, u made those they look really cool,how does it come back when u throw it

Oh yeah I also made into the number one spot in the top 25 ll Air Vice Marshals

The ones in the pictures don't come back since they are throwsticks...Boomerangs and throwsticks are kind of like cousins. A boomerang is light, not used for hunting, and returns...a throw stick is much heavier, is used for hunting, does not return. They both have airfoils and generate lift when spun but a throwstick you launch horizontal and it flies mostly straight. A boomerang is launched vertically so that the lifting force generated by the wings makes it fly in a circle. I make those too...This is a returning long distance boomerang I made called a Crazy Horse. I borrowed the shape but the airfoil I designed...one very similar to this one that I also made won the competition last weekend with 131m.

Me throwing long distance...

Sky Raptor...there is a gift for you in the factory!

Wow,u know ALOT of stuff about boomerangs,it seems pretty interesting,do alot of other people make their own boomerangs??

Color me very imprest!!!!
Honestly that is very cool Whip. It must feel pretty darn satisfying to compete and win with equipment you made yourself!!!

You mentioned hunting with then, I'm an avid bird hunter, waterfowl and upland game, what game do you go after with a throwing stick? I'm assuming small game, but you never can tell with you Canadians.

You have grabbed my curiosity, what type of materials do you use to construct these sticks? That one looks like carbon fiber. Also how long does it take to make one for your competitions, and what are the cost?

That's Very cool Whip, thanks for taking the time to explain it, looks fun.

Congrats SKY, well done!!!



Your a killer man!

STARR, I hope you get your password worked out so you can fly, was hoping we might MORAF the same time. Hurry bro!!!!

BTW, was in game with your little bro last night for a couple games, good guy, I asked him to come by, like to see him in the squad.

He mentioned how you liked and thought of us here, your good man Blacky!!! Wanted you to know its mutual my friend!!!!!

Hurry the hell up and get in the sky!!!!!

Well almost all make some sort of boomerang but most make wood decorative ones, I make competition booms. I mostly only make LD but I also make MTAs (Maximum Time Aloft) that we have seen stay in the air for over 17 minutes and still caught it I also make throwsticks as you saw but for golf not hunting...I have one made out of Aluminium..it's sweet!

That's Very cool Whip, thanks for taking the time to explain it, looks fun.

It's even better when others set records or compete with your booms. Lots of throwers use my booms to compete with. Well you can hunt rabbits, emu, kangaroos and everything in between. You need a big stick for big animals though....

So as for materials, Lond Distance Boomerangs I make from Carbon Fibre and nothing else. Horrible stuff to work with but so stiff and thin really it's the best material to use. Some people use G10 but it bends and doesn't return to it's original shape so the next throw after a crash is crazy! For throwsticks we use Lexan, Plywood, or G10 since it has to be tough. Carbon Fibre would be good too but if it chip you would have exposed fibers...not good, and it costs a fortune. A 1'x2' sheet is $180!!

I can make a kylie (throwstick) in under an hour but the LD is a whole different story...there is a lot of testing and adjusting and each one is a little different. Some makers use jewelers glasses to ensure the foil is just right...I eyeball mine. LD can take over 10 hours of work easy.

I found a website that mentions it...they say 17m6s it wasn't in competition soit can't be a record but many people saw it and timed it. There are also many other records here:
