Barnaby Ruhe is one of America's most beloved boomerang throwers and a strong competitor. Barnaby is a graduate of the Naval Academy (Oliver North's classmate) so he is naturally gifted in competition strategy. Barnaby was involved in the earliest days of American competition and he has a good pedigree with Uncle Ben Ruhe and cousins Peter and Larry Ruhf as family members. Barnaby is still involved in competition. He was on the International Team that competed in Japan in 2006, a full 25 years after his first international competition when he was on the American Team for the 1981 USA-Australia Challenge Match.

This juggling set was made specially for Ben Ruhe ( a seventh son!) in 1989. Both boomerangs are painted white with flourescent orange tips and dated 1989. One has " I'm The One " and the other has " The Seventh Son " to show that they are a matched set. One has a piece of red tape. The other has a piece of blue tape. This is to aid in counting as consecutive catches are made. The range on these are a bit more than 20 metres, so if you plan to juggle these in calm conditions, you might want to carefully tune them by adding positive angle of attack to all four blade tips to make the flight more circular and to shorten the range. This Juggling set is in very good condition and is a valuable artifact from an event that is no longer contested in tournaments.
