This beautiful strip laminated throwstick was made out of Shagbark Hickory, an American hardwood. The underside has " R.A.F. ; H.L. #6 ; 10-90 " etched into the surface. There is a lead weight embedded in both blade tips. This hunting boomerang has a very smooth oiled surface. An incredible flyer with a 100+ metre flight in calm conditions. It works either right or left handed. When I throw it right handed, the flight is straight and true for 100 metres and then there is a small amount of hover at the end. When I throw it left handed (I am left handed) I get an incredible flight of 125+ metres. The flight is a very shallow " S " with a slight left bias at the beginning of the flight and then a slight right hand bias at the end of the flight as the forward velocity and spin rate slow down. Overall, it is extremely accurate over 100+ metres of flight range. My favorite throwstick to use in competition. This hunting boomerang is in slightly used, but excellent condition.
