Boomerang News #49 - 5-98
Cover: Australian Tourist Items with Boomerang Art.
News From The USA:
Steve Conaway has a thriving business making competition boomerangs out of G10/CF material. These booms come with a durable air-brushed finish and have a range that is well suited for the Australian Round event. I recently sampled the Classic Hook and Xanadu models, pictured below. The Classic Hook made a huge perfect circle, about 10 metres larger than the 65 metres claimed by Steve. Xanadu had a range of about 45-50 metres. These booms require winds greater than 5 MPH and a strong throw. These booms are very responsive to added weights and flaps. For more info, call Steve at (805) 524-2913 or email: abosteve@vcnet.com or write to:

The May 1998 issue of "MacAddict" magazine had a half page advertisement for "Action Utilities". In the last frame, the main character turns into a Super Hero with a boomerang. Their web page can be found at: http://www.actionutilities.com The Boomerang Man now has the four bladed LMI Fox Skyblader (BN46P6) for sale in the USA. These are available in either LH or RH in 4 different materials: "Poly" is a flexi-grade of plastic, that is easy on the hands. "Polystyrene" is stiffer and ideal for most throwers. "Graphite" is excellent for moderate winds. Feels good and very easy to toss consistently. For eye-appeal, Carbon with MALIBU ART is a winner. This one spins the fastest. Also in stock are the Carbon S44 and S55 boomerangs, now at a substantial price savings. Send an inquiry for pricing information. For ordering info, email: bmanrich@iAmerica.net or write to:

John Weigel found a book with a chapter on boomerangs: "Whittlin', Whistles, and Thingamajigs, the pioneer book of nature crafts and recreation arts" by Harlan G. Metcalf, 1974; Stackpole Books, Harrisburg Pa, ISBN 0-8117-1882. Look in Chapter 8. The May/June issue of "The Sciences", published by the New York Academy of Sciences, has an extremely well written 4 page article on boomerangs by Dan Drollette titled 'Return to Sender'. The article is littered with colored photos of Aboriginal boomerangs and throwsticks. You can order a copy of this excellent publication for only $3.95 by calling (212)-838-0230. Inquire about a subscription while you are calling. You won't be sorry. This is a terrific magazine. Listen to Earth & Sky on public radio stations on 18 July. Karen Munro of Iowa City will ask "Why does a boomerang come back?" Karen, and 3 million other listeners, will hear a detailed explanation. Peter Toenjes manufactures really nice looking folding cross sticks with a central wingnut bolt. These four bladers have really pronounced airfoiling and spray painted upper and lower surfaces. Peter sent me one to sample. The one I received required the addition of extra dihedral to all four blades for best results. The flight was fast. The range was less than typically found in similar cross sticks due to aggressive airfoiling. This one was fun to play with and the workmanship was better than that found on most commercial cross sticks. The price, at under $10, is right too. For more information, contact Peter Toenjes at:

TEK Boomerang is a new commercial product made in China and imported by Trendmasters, Inc. of St. Louis, MO. It has five bat shaped wings and black stripes over a bright glow in the dark color. It sells at the stunning price of only $2.99 at Meijer stores in Michigan. Although this boomerang has heavily biased RH airfoiling, it comes with Darnell style tuning instructions for either LH or RH throwing. This boomerang has the weight and stiffness of a wet sponge. After throwing it for more than an hour in a variety of wind conditions, I was only able to get a full return on a single throw. This boomerang also failed the Toby dog durability test. My recommendations are to stay away from this one until the manufacturer comes out with a lighter and stronger material, unless you want one to hang on the wall. Will and Bestylew Miale-Gix did a demo in Kingston, Washington on 3 May to help two girls raise money for a "People to People" trip to Australia. Will Herlan started off the show with a throwstick demonstration. Then it was the Bestylew and Will show, with Will Herlan as the master of ceremonies explaining the various types of boomerang contests, trick catches and techniques. Everyone was able to try their hand at throwing booms after the demo. Will Herlan won a Bob Burwell hook (donated by Will and Bestylew) and a live pig (75 kg) for $170 in the auction that followed. Will mentioned that the pig is a poor returner. USA Boomerang Team members are selling T-shirts & Sweatshirts to help cover expenses. These have a large Red and Blue on White USA Boomerang Emblem on the front with a smaller 1998 Boomerang International Team Cup and Individual World Championships and THE RAD logos on the sleeves. You can see a sample at the web site: http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~brazelto/teamuniform.html The price is $20 for short sleeve T-shirt, 100% cotton; $25 for long sleeve T-shirt, 100% cotton; $40 for long sleeve Sweatshirt, 50% cotton.

On the periphery, there will be sales tables of boomerangs, didjeridoos, and related crafts. A small demonstration area will be provided where oncomers can throw Darnell indoor and backyard foam boomerangs under the guidance of experts. A large portion of the kiosk display will be devoted to a boomerang museum and boomerang art. The boomerang museum will feature throw sticks and boomerangs from various cultures and modern manufacturers. There will also be a table for consignment sales of collectible boomerangs gathered from interested sellers around the world. People interested in contributing museum exhibit items on loan or consignment pieces for sale can contact T. W. at (541)-465-9461; email: teedub@efn.org, or write to: P. O. Box 11332, Eugene, OR 97440. Congratulations to Kim Galeazzi who made $25 and was elected Mr. Picante at a Cinco de Mayo company party for catching his boomerang with one toe. To accomplish this, he borrowed a foam tri-blader that was given to his daughter by Rob Croll. An article about Adam Ruhf is planned for a future issue of Teen People Magazine. Keep your eyes open. A date is not yet available. AUSTRALIA Brother Brian Thomas found several Australian tourist promotional items (depicted on the cover) that integrate boomerangs into their design. Brian would like to trade some of these items for signed boomerangs for his collection. A MTA boomerang would be much appreciated. The editor has four sets of the following: Letter Opener + Boomerang Shaped Ash Tray + Zippered Wallet that I will send to the first four readers from the USA who respond to Brian's request for a trade. Contact the editor for details before sending the boomerang to Brian. Overseas readers can contact Brian directly. Brian can be reached at Günter Wandtke's email: redgum@comcen.com.au Brian's address is:

Editors note: David will have several of these new Long Distance boomerangs for sale at the World Championships in July.
*********Special Note from Bob Burwell************************
FUN TIMES WITH DAVID SCHUMMY These last couple of years I have the great fortune to be living near David Schummy. David will be known to many in the boomerang world. He is extremely competitive and was part of the Australian team in Christ Church New Zealand in 1996. I have no doubt there are many views of David. Here are mine! I first met David when I toured The United States of America in 1984. This was my second successful trip. David was not a part of either Team at that time, (USA versus Australia.) Some of the Australian team members viewed David as the enemy. He appeared to be lending support to the USA team. "How dare he!" My view is, if you are not breaking the LAW or offending general community expectations, "do what you love, love what you do". (thanks, T shirt for that little bit of wisdom). In Christ Church I was a member of the Masters Team. From an Aussie team member I was called "traitor". Some Aussies never change! I am a team player, and will do my best for any team I am with. David still does what he loves. This is reflected in great results he is achieving. New designs, New performances, with a finish you would expect from a perfectionist who makes a living as a creative craftsman. Also teaches what he does in college. David is doing great things with many new & old materials. To see him produce a replica of one of my 3mm distance sticks "80 meters" in one attempt was something to behold. His reproduction flies up to 20% further, looks, ten times better. The main thing David retained was the flying performance. i.e. very easy to throw, smooth flight with excellent accuracy. His absolute mind blowers are his night flyers. The way he integrates lights, battery, & switches to provide optional combinations is something to behold. To top it off, they have good fly ability. They are real "Night time, light entertainment!" I have been involved with throwing boomerangs since October 1945. Thanks David for the sharing your skill & friendship in keeping my boomerang love alive & sparking. Last weekend at the Aussie Nationals David Schummy Popped a few eyes & caused a few Jaws to drop. You have probably already heard that he set a new Aussie Distance throwing record with a measurement in competition of 141 metres & return. That was the only boomerang throwing record I had to pass from me to another lover of the sport. - Bob Burwell
BOB BURWELL RECORD FREE AFTER FIFTY TWO YEARS !!! Starting in 1946 I achieved my first worlds best. Or so it was reported. I was said to be the youngest most successful boomerang thrower in the world. My boomerang skills have caused me to be custodian of numerous records since that time. The most memorable was the sixty nine juggle catches in Maryland in June of 82. That was especially sweet as all my skills were utilized to head skim spectators then ride up and down the embankment in the target throwing area. Albury November '81 runs a close second in the memory stakes. This was at the time of the USBA tour in Australia. Sorry again Peter. I have had success with Largest, Smallest, Consecutive Catch, Aussie Round, Rapid Catch, Accuracy, etc. On many occasions I have taken on that pleasant but temporary role as World Record custodian . I am pleased to report that my one remaining custodial record, that of Australian Distance Champion has now passed to my friend David Schummy. Congratulations David with a throw of 141 metres. Nothing pleases me more than to see competitors going hard at it to capture records for themselves to achieve that pleasurable role as World Record custodian. While ever I see this happening I know the sport I love is alive & well. Congratulations to all who have achieved, and to all that have enjoyed themselves trying. - Bob Burwell

BULGARIA Georgi Dimantchev and the Bulgarian Boomerang Club received excellent coverage in the February 1998 issue of "Aviofen", a Bulgarian produced magazine about Aviation. The article was a full page and had 8 color photos. There was also a great photo of Georgi throwing one of his mini-booms on the cover. Georgi was also featured in the Bulgarian book "Forgotten Glory; Bulgarian Aircraft Designs", published in 1997. The 240 page book had 2+ pages about Georgi's Ultralight plane: Optimum 88, a unique design for Bulgarian Aviation. The section on Georgi's Aircraft mentions Georgi's activities in the sport of boomeranging. Georgi is busy writing a new book titled: "BOOMERANG PUZZLE" which will be published in English. The book will have 100 pages and contain the chapters: * In memoriam * Chronology (1882-1998), * Results of all National, European and World Championships, * National and World Ratings, * World and European Records, * Best throwers in the world and their results including Super Catch Honor Roll. * Record Boomerangs (more than 50 shapes and datum about) * World Famous Lefty Throwers * and more ...
The book will cost between 15 and 20 USD and will be avialable when Georgi competes in the German Kiel Competition in June 1998. For more information about this exciting new publication, contact Georgi at:

CANADA Andy Cross did a report on boomerang flight simulators for his Chemistry class at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta on 15 April. John Cross traveled to the University to assist him. The brothers finished with a demonstration for 20 students. John Cryderman is working hard on helping to raise funds for the 1998 World Championships. John is making a plaque out of solid wood with a plywood Herb Smith design boomerang on top. The plaque measures about 2 1/2 feet by 3 1/2 feet and has the names of everyone who has purchased one of John's catalogues. All net proceeds from the catalogue will be donated to the World Cup. There is still room for 36 additional names and addresses on the plaque. Everyone who purchases a catalogue will have their name and state affixed to the plaque identifying them as a supporter of the 1998 World Championships. The plaque will be raffled at the World Championships with all proceeds going to the Cup. The catalogue costs $5. It has 40 pages and has lots of information about how to make strip laminated boomerangs. If you want to help John raise funds for the 1998 World Championships, please send payment of $5 to John Cryderman as soon as possible to the following address:

ENGLAND Congratulations to Lawrence West who won the 'Mega Lab' television show indoor boomerang contest on 20 March with 20 throws (and catches) around a pole positioned at three metres. Edward Cadman has the program on VHS PAL tape if anyone is interested.
GERMANY Volker Behrens is one of the best known boomerang manufacturers in the World with his line of Birch and Paxolin material competition boomerangs. One of Volker's most popular models is the Vulcano. I recently sampled two versions of this hook, the mini and midi models. Both of these have a shape similar to that of the classic Gerhards hook. They are attractively painted and made out of strong and dense Paxolin material. The Midi-Vulcano, with a dingle arm finger notch, a span of 35 cm and a weight of 80 grams, has a range of more than 75 metres. This one is an eye popper with much more range than you need for Aussie Round. The power requirements are proportionally less than the Challenger III or Straight Shooter. The midi-Vulcano likes moderate wind for a full return. The Mini-Vulcano, with a weight of 42 gm and a span of 30 cm, lacks the finger notch of it's big brother. The range of the mini is also considerably less than the midi, topping out at just beyond 50 metres. The mini works well in either calm or wind, making it far more suitable for the Aussie Round event than it's big brother. Volker has begun making replicas of Herb Smith designs for those of you who cannot afford (or don't want to throw) authentic Herb Smith boomerangs. Models that are currently available include: Sussex Hook, Sportsman, Marathon and Tornado, in either 3 or 4 mm paxolin.
