Polypropylene Pro Sports Boomerang - For ages above 10 years old

Polypropylene Pro Sports Boomerang - For ages above 10 years old

Amazon Price: (as of 05/26/2012)Buy Now

The Pro-Fly is a classic V-Omega boomerang with a range of 30+ meters. It is made from a very durable polypropylene material and is priced for volume sale. It makes a great gift for kids over 10 and adults like it also (yes, even the 50 year old variety!). Boomerangs are a great leisure sport as there is not a lot of running involved if you throw it correctly. It gets kids outdoors and gives Mom and Dad some excercise also.

Boomerang

Boomerangs come in many shapes and sizes depending on origin. Most boomerangs are associated with aborigines from Australia but can be found in many other places like California and Arizona in the United States and Africa and Poland.
The most recognizable boomerang is the throwing stick, which returns when thrown correctly. The size of the boomerang can range from 10 cm to over 2 meters.

Boomerangs were once used for weapons or hunting but now most are used in competitions and as toys.
In a boomerang competition the thrower must propel the boomerang at least 20 meters away to qualify. The thrower stands in a ring, which is marked so as to see the distance thrown.
The Aussie Round tournament is the greatest test of skill for the boomerang thrower. In this competition the boomerang must travel at least 50 meters and return to the thrower. This tournament gives each thrower 5 tries and they gain points for distance, accuracy and the catch. If the thrower catches the boomerang behind their back they get more points. Throwing two boomerangs give you double points.

The design of the boomerang is like two wings that flies through the air in a spinning motion. When thrown high the wings produces lift and the rapid spinning causes it to fly in a curve instead of a straight line and when thrown correctly will return to its starting point.
The boomerang wings are connected at an angle so the air will travel faster over one side than the other. The difference in air speed creates lift. Each wing of the boomerang is constructed to oppose the lift of the other causing the wings to try reach equilibrium resulting in the boomerang traveling in a curve instead of a straight line.

    My sister bought her son a boomerang. First throw, he hits the neighbor's kid in the head and he gets stitches. No more boomerang. I tried throwing one in college and almost killed myself. They are great to watch someone who knows how to use them, but like numchucks, you can beat yourself up pretty good learning. They are cool though!
