Two Bladed Fast Catch by Eric Darnell
Price: $25 ; Availability: 1 RH

This Fast Catch was made out of a Polypropylene Wizard by Eric Darnell in 1988. Narrow blades and cambered airfoils and with a coin weight on the lift arm. Relatively fast (20-25 sec) and safe for a two blader. A great piece of history that is also a fun short range sport 'rang.

Poly Fast Catch by Léo Ribeiro
Price: $22 ; Availability: 9 RH

This Poly Fast Catch was made out of a Polypropylene triFly and modified by narrowing the blades and by adding airfoiling for right handedness. Has lead tape on underside to extend range to 20 metres. Nicely painted and works great, but you have to have some tuning skills. You need to adjust height by adding dihedral and you can adjust range by angle of attack.

Prana by Mark Legg
Price: $25 ; Availability: 2 RH (1 reserved)

Prana is a Fast Catch boomerang made out of 4 mm Birch plywood and with beautiful art. It is not cambered. There is a small hole in each tip for aerodynamic balance. This FC is designed for a round of 20-25 seconds, so it is not as Fast as the World Record booms, but it will get you a respectable score and it is easier to throw and catch than the hot models. Some fine tuning for your throwing style may be required.
