RH Competition Boomerangs Modified by Larry Ruhf
|
All of the boomerangs listed below were made or modified by Larry Ruhf in the mid 1980s for use in competition. Most of these have a range of 30-50 metres and were made for use in Australian Round or in team events, such as Position. Competition is usually held in the middle of the day when winds are high, so most of these have additional drag because of added holes or slots. These were covered with tape and then the tape was removed partially to match the wind conditions. The slots were also used to insert cyalume light sticks for use in night throwing. These boomerangs are for advanced throwers who know how to add coins, tape, etc. to optimize perfomance. Also, most of these require a hard throw, so they are not good boomerangs for children. You can add camber to the underside or cover holes or slots with tape or tape a coin to the upper surface of the dingle arm to make these easier to throw. This group is organized so that the easiest to throw boomerangs are at the top of the list. |
