I like a far throwing rang, and this delivers. Can be a little fickle in the wind but can be tuned pretty well. I like a more circular flight, but this can also be adjusted with tuning and layover, but it isn't a rang you're going to catch every time, but that's ok with me. I bought it for exercise because I am either sitting behind the computer monitor doing takeoffs or sitting behind the wheel going to do takeoffs, so a little walking to pick it up 5 or 6 times outta 10 ain't a bad thing. I'm not a pro or even approach that level, but 50percent catch rate for me is fine. I'd like to find one that goes even further than the50 to 60 yards I can get outta this, but I do like the Kilimanjaro quite well. Had the lazy hook before and LOVED it. Lighter and faster and a tad more consistent in catching. Easier to throw for long periods. Will be getting another lazy hook for sure. All in all, this is a good rang for strong arms and I got that. Just saying. BUY IT DAMMIT!

manu sells his 3 blade booms on this site.. you need to tune a fast catch boomerang.. its not like anything else u have ever done . It takes patience
Manu makes his own boomerangs. Whatever he used would be optimized for his arm strength. It is also very difficult to throw and catch a fast catch boomerang with a hard throw straight around like that. He actually uses an old ski mitten worn in to catch with impact mainly on his left hand as the impact is hard. He also measures the radius of throws for each boomerang in order to just barely pass the 20 meter mark. It would be best to try several models to throw with, and utilize different ones for different wind conditions. You might want to try one of our new “Kuzco” boomerangs which are very light and fast and capable of sub 20 second times. It would be good to have a heavier, more wind resistant model with holes drilled and such for better performance on windy days. You never know what wind conditions will be available in any given tournament.
Hi, do you have any idea what type and model of trirang Shutz used for his fast catch record please ? (Or is that a Euro team secret?) Would like to find out who the maker was because I would like a seriously accurate and equally fast, well tuned trirang to train with for this event,
Angle it closer to vertical and gentler force in stronger breezes,
Thanks,
Francis.
