This traditional boomerang is made out of a soft
rubber material. It has a reinforcing stiff core to add
rigidity, similar to what Aerobie does with their flying
rings. The boomerang is flexible enough to tune. You will
want to add some dihedral before throwing and it does
work if you don't throw too hard and if you give it spin.
Multiple colors. Order one and it is my choice of colors.
Order 3 and get three different colors.

The proFly is a classic V-Omega with a range of 25-30
metres. It has great wind resistance and it works well in
calm too! This model is the perfect sports model for
casual throwing. You can also add coins to the blade tips
with tape to extend the range 5-10 metres. Instructions
for throwing are embossed on the underside of the blades.
This is an excellent first time boomerang for throwers
ages 12 and up. The Pro-Fly makes a great low cost gift.
You will not find many wooden boomerangs that perform as
well as this model.

boomerang for casual throwing. You can also add a coin
with tape to the lift arm to get even more range.

This is an early experimental variation (1985?) of
the popular Darnell proFly or Wizard. The plastic is a
very dense form of Polypropylene, giving it more weight
and a range of 45+ metres. The plastic injection molding
flow is discolored at the outer elbow, edge, but it is in
excellent condition. Needs some wind for a complete
return as expected.

This is a modified ABS Darnell Wizard. The creme
colored ABS plastic is denser than Polypropylene, giving
it more weight and a range of 45+ metres. The blades were
narrowed slightly to improve performance. A coin weight
was added to the dingle arm with tape. Needs a hard low
throw for best results and is a very nice flyer in light
winds.

This plastic triblader is one of the easiest sports
boomerangs to throw and catch. The TriMagic is an
outdoors sports model designed by Roger Perry of
Australia. This triblader has a low circular flight with
a range of 18 - 20 metres. It is one of the better
outdoor models for younger throwers and adults who have
difficulty throwing the heavier boomerangs. This
boomerang comes mounted on an attractive card with tuning
and throwing instructions. Colors are mixed: blue, red
& yellow.

The world famous tri-Fly is made out of a light
weight Polypropylene material. This model has a flight
range of 20-30 metres. It will work either left handed or
right handed. You need to tune these boomerangs for
handedness by twisting the blades. Instructions for
throwing are embossed on the underside of the blades.
Bend the blades up and they fly higher. Bend the blades
down and they fly lower. Advanced throwers can carve
these into high performance specialty competition designs
(see Pierre
Kutek's triFly web site). The color is red (as
shown).

This tri-Fly model is made out of dark red
translucent Polycarbonate material. Polycarbonate triFlys
are almost never thrown without modification because the
material is stiff and heavy. Polycarbonate triFlys are
modified for longer range competition events like Aussie
Round (see Pierre
Kutek's triFly web site).

Plastic Boomerangs Modified for Competition by Eric Darnell
This is a Polypropylene triFly that was modified for
the Position or 40 Metre Round events by Eric Darnell in
the early 1990s. It is a great flyer with a flight range
of 35-40 metres. It requires some wind and a hard throw
for a complete return. This is an original prototype made
out of the first production lot of triFlys. May require
some fine tuning for your individual throwing style.
