This strip laminated Challenger III was made out of Oak strips by Volker in 2011. This is one of the last strip laminated boomerangs that Volker made before his death. This boomerang is unweighted and it is in new condition. Because this boomerang is unweighted, the flight range is only 40-50 metres. The underside has " Challenger III ; Oak Laminated 2011 " written on the underside with Volker's signature. A one of a kind collectible. Please take good care of this one.
Volker Behrens was a well known commercial manufacturer of sporting 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. |
