Title: Boomerangs
Post by: Scunner on August 03, 2010, 19:18:38 PM
I wonder, is it all a bit of a myth or can you get boomerangs that come back to you? Toy ones never seem to and I've never seen a 'real' one actually do it.

I do wonder about some rubbish sometimes but I am interested to find out :D

Rolf Harris never got his back and he must have known how to throw it being from down under:D ;)

Yep - seen it in real life when we were at some Aboriginal show in Oz. I had to use a left handed one - being a left hander  :)

Better to be a left hander than a left turner

Here's some guys using sport boomerangs to kill what I think are giant fruit bats.

Quality boomeranging:

Now that this puzzle has been solved perhaps people can resolve this knotty issue: does chewing gum lose its flavout on the bedpost overnight?

Reading this thread makes me realise how much I missed the forum when my internet wasnt connected for a couple of weeks.  You have had me smiling all morning.

End of the road, turn right.
Take next right.

Take next right.

You're there. Boxing kangaroos every Thursday.

A friend of mine made Boomerangs for a living and sold them in crafts markets for over twenty years, most people who bought them did so for there novelty
value, never believing they would work and of course the few times they tried, they didn't so they end up on a wall or in the novelty draw.
The fact is they do work but you need a lot of space to throw them, the real clever bit is catching them, many times I have tried to catch one that is slowly spinning
over my head after a good return but misjudge the catch and your finger tips feel like you have just touched a hot plate, painful in the extreme.

PS.
The hunting Boomerangs are not made to return and have a thickened end to supply the knockout blow. 8)

Quite true - how would they come back - with a bat on the end:D[?]

If it's not made to come back it's called a stick:D
