- I have another suggestion if you throw in wind (I should know living in
- Oklahoma): buy a boomerang designed to fly in a stiff breeze. From the
- least design changes on up try these: add lead tape to the tips, buy a
- heavier rang, get one designed for wind (B'man sells several and I've
- tossed the Colorado Matterhorn, Outback Chinook Aussie Round, Colorado
- Eagle to name a few), or if you really have a hurricane, try Jim
- Mayfields Colorado Condor Comp which is weighted, drilled and has two
- concave cutouts on the bottom. Not the most exciting flight, but you
- will need quite an arm to get it too far away on its return.
-
- Enjoy your tossing...
