I’ve had mine for the last 5 or 6 years and it’s been one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite. One of the best returning boomerangs I’ve got. Takes hardly any practice to get to come back but of course takes a bit more to get it to come back consistently (much like others of course). Definitely recommend for beginners and experts alike.
Just received the avenger wooden boomerang today, haven't had a chance to see how it flies yet so this review will just be from my initial impressions. It is a bit smaller than I expected, 10 1/2" from tip to tip. Looking at the picture posted here, zoomed in appears full size. Had to take off 1 star for a flaw in the paint, the triangles do not appear as sharp as they do in the image here. One is not centered correctly on one of the wings and is overlapping the bezel, almost touching the edge; another was not printed correctly and appears faded. Item appears to be screen printed so I'm sure each model will vary slightly. While it is a minor annoyance it in no way ruins the overall visual effect of this stylish boomerang. I can't wait to go to the woods and lose it forever.
I was impressed with the Seagull boomerang. Smooth controlled flight. Never seen or used a boomerang that was SO easy to use. I hate to tip everyone off because I want more for my family. It is a well made quality product exceeded only by Colorado Boomerang Customer Service.
Just need a bigger open space
My son absolutely loves his new Red Bolt Boomerang.
First day throwing the Kilimanjaro was initially frustrating, as I repeatedly dumped it into the ground. But after some trial & error; adjusting release angle (with extra layover of 30-45+ degrees), it flies far out (without wind) – almost straight out, while climbing, then returns on a narrow U-shaped path, which was unexpectedly cool! Eventually got a catch. In windy conditions, flight path differed (more elliptical), but getting a catchable return was rare, as it'd sail past me. With more practice, this 'K-boom' will be amazing. For now, a half-star deduction for the rough paint finish and learning curve (at least for me) – 4.5 stars. If you have a strong arm, good technique, and like challenging, long-distance flights, get this boom!
The Lazy Hook is a sweet-looking Roger Perry design, with a snazzy paint job and glossy finish. It's mid-sized, thick in the middle, with a tapered trailing arm, and a weighted leading arm. I found it flies higher than the description, but that's probably from some wonky throwing. However, it returns well, even without a strong throw. I recommend it for recreational or serious throwers!
Bend the tips down minutely for a lower throw. Bend the tips up slightly if you want a higher throw.
