This is an early long distance hook made out of 4 mm Paxolin material and painted on both surfaces. Volker made this model in the 1980s and 1990s. This model has a flight range of about 100 metres which will not win any LD events in today's competition circle, but you will get a safe score when others have longer flights that don't cross the 40 m line for a score. It also makes a great sport boomerang when you want to make impressive throws of 100+ metres. You can add a lead weight to the lift arm tip to increase the flight range. This boomerang was owned by a collector and not thrown. It is in new condition.
Volker Behrens was a well known commercial manufacturer of sport and competition boomerang products. Volker was also a competitor and a member of the German International Boomerang Team. Volker was a pioneer in the development of long distance boomerangs and he demonstrated throws of 150 metres in the 1980s with his popular Challenger III Paxolin Hook. Volker made the last of his boomerang products in 2011 and he died in June, 2012. His boomerangs have become great collectibles because they are considered to be comparable to boomerangs made by Herb Smith. |
