This strip laminated omega was made in 1985 out of thick strips of Hickory and Walnut. John drilled a hole in both blade tips and inserted lead weights, so this omega is weighted for extended range, even though you do not see the weights in the photos. It is signed and dated. I acquired this omega in a trade in 1986 and used it in the Aussie Round event for 2 years before retiring it to my collection box. It still looks like new and it has a marvelous 60 metre flight. The quality is every bit as good as Al Gerhards' S/L boomerangs. John only made 100 strip laminated boomerangs. A very fine and rare collectible in mint condition.

Specifications: Right Handed ; Tip-to-tip Span = 36 cm ; Weight = 76 gm


John Flynn has been one of America's top boomerang throwers for almost 3 decades. John is especially well known for his competitiveness in the Fast Catch event. However, John is skilled in all of the competition events and has been a prominent member of an American boomerang team in almost every international event. John makes a large percentage of the boomerangs in his throw kit. He also made a series of 100 strip laminated omegas and hooks that had the same high performance as the famous Gerhards hooks and omegas. Very few Flynn boomerangs make it into collections because John rarely made anything for sale to others.
