Bunny Read was one of Australia's best boomerang throwers and a major manufacturer for many years. He is the father of Leanne Read and the grandfather of the famous Baby Ben Loveland who won an accuracy tournament when he was only 2 years old. Bunny made an assortment of really nice hooks and traditional models out of Coachwood plywood. He would paint beautiful Australian art scenes on the elbow in less than 60 seconds using a unique brush and finger painting technique. Some of the traditional boomerangs that Bunny made were very large and there is a very famous video of Bunny throwing and catching an 8 foot boomerang on the television show "You Asked For it". Bunny's daughter, Leanne, is still producing quality boomerang products for the Boomerang Man.

This Bunny Read competition hook is an unweighted commercial product that was made in the early 1980s out of beautiful Coachwood plywood. The artwork on the elbow consists of a simple kangaroo. The tips are painted red and white. The reverse side has a Wycheproof stamp on the elbow. This hook is in very good condition. It is a very nice flyer and the range is approxmately 35 metres in low wind conditions. From the Larry Ruhf collection.
