Greg's Boomerang Collection- Short Version

[ventus237]

the bat boomerangs are really cool

[xLiamFielding]

20-40 feet? why don't you just say 40 feet because people may drop it and be pissed off it only went one foot =[

[flyingscience]

@xLiamFielding Most boomerangs made from 1/8th birch fly 40 feet .If you add a small amout of positive dihedral (artificial warp by bending the wing tips upward ) the flight circle decreases to 30 or 20 feet .

[xLiamFielding]

@flyingscience

But it's possible to fly is 1 foot!! So it's up to 40 feet!! :D

[garglesnot02]

cool, i still lold at the jesus boomarang

[flyingscience]

That boomerang tittled "Jesus is coming back" as a pun .

[Magzillas]

I love how conceptman thinks he's the judge of what "is" and "isn't" stupid.

He strikes me as a derivative lackey to society, since his only apparent reasoning for considering boomerangs stupid is the fact that they are rare. Seems that in his world, "stupidity" is only derived from a lack of societal popularity.

Personally, I find the rarity of boomerangs (and the rarity of people like yourself who can wield them so proficiently) are what make them interesting. Love your demonstrations.

[NamesROverated]

@concept7man well, however tacky it is, it's still art. i wasn't talking about whats painted on it, i was talking about the craftsmanship that goes into something like this to make it work the way it does. not everyone wants a gun. this guy takes it too far, but you people have your baseball card collection or whatever the fuck you have, and he has his boomerangs...

[NamesROverated]

@concept7man  boomerangs are a piece of art.. you can hunt with it..

[flyingscience]

@concept7man @concept7man Untill you see them in flight they do look silly just sitting there .That's also true of golf and baseballs ,footballs .I've preformed in front of thousands becasue others are fascinated .Watch my video "Night boomerang shows part 1" They have lights!

[flyingscience]

@concept7man  I'm puzzled about the meaning of your comment..

[ultradragonlordofwow]

[chickinstompin]

[hamalaya1229]

the bat one's are freaking nice

[rosanoisapimp]

i like the batman 1's

[pandabear440]

ummm..... do you get paid to work with bomerangs or are you a really big fanatic? cause you really know a lot of stuff about bomerangs and i dont know how to throw one hehe..:)

[flyingscience]

Panda - If you look at the video description .You will see catalogs , so yes I get paid to make boomerangs.

[pandabear440]

Okay then that's cool =') your collection is awesome lol

[cincybmx420]

I live in clermont county, 15 minutes from downtown cincy. Nice boomerangs, maybe I'll see you throwin them around cincinnati some time. Nice seeing a local on here, peace.

[DragOzze]

lol @ religion bumerangs

[flyingscience]

I've got atheist and Buddha ones too .I cover the spectrum .I'd make Muhammad on his fying Pegasus but my house would be blown up .Look up my Flying Spaghetti Monster boomerangs .

[saviorsdisciple]

Wonderful collection! Thanks for sharing.

[Twiforce]

Would you happen to know how to make hunting boomerangs?

[flyingscience]

Klyies are Very hard to make . Look up the name and videos on that .They fly very straight and dont return .Boomerangs are not kylies .Common mistake .

[Twiforce]

Isn't there some kind of returning boomerang that can knock a wild boar out or something?

Just kidding, maybe not boar, but a rabbit or a bird, something small?

[flyingscience]

Twi- no , boomerangs are too small and light to kill big game .Some birds have been killed by breaking necks but its accidental.

[Twiforce]

Oh, well, that sucks...

What about stunning them or something? Would it be possible to make a returning boomerang that can atleast injure or stun small game such as birds or rabbits?

[kjetilrossignol]

boomerangs in real life arent the same as the ones in legend of zelda, there.

[Twiforce]

Haha, I don't mean stun like that, besides the Zelda boomerangs are steel anyways.

[wilvagilly]

I do not mean to sound rude but I have to disagree.

The aboriginies originally developed the boomerang, and used it for hunting not "playing".

It is still used by them to this day to hunt anythin from a small bird to kangaroo or emu both of which are DEFINATELY large game.

[flyingscience]

Boomerangs return , kylies / hunting sticks are like flying clubs that go straight ( by definition not a boomerang ) .They can look nearly identical but wider thicker / heavier .

[flyingscience]

United States Boomerang Association addresses this in their FAQ's .

[heavenspaw]

PWN!!

[flyingscience]

There was confusion separating Kylie's from boomerangs initially .Kylies can look like very wide boomerangs but most dont ,Kylies are lethal and heavier non returners.

[n00baki13]

wtf???Nice collection man

[jmmcnc]

what wood do you use in your tribladed boomerangs?

[flyingscience]

I use 1/4 or 1/8th baltic birch .Watch my warping boomerang video .

[flyingscience]

Click my video description to see my how to make boomerang and gallery .

[zzAddictedToMusiczz]

highest priced one?

[flyingscience]

$27 for arm catch american flag one .paint job takes 30 minutes , it has 5 wings .Note most rangs are $15-$30 on internet .

[grunnyguy]

your missing the batarang from batman xD

[HentaLover56]

U know a good boomerang for a 10 old kid?

[flyingscience]

Short distant boomerangs are easiest to throw and catch learn under 10 minutes .watch this video see the end- "Boomerangs -Balsa wood mini rangs "

[08rtaylo]

how much would the bat boomerang (3rd one up) cost? w/o s/h

[flyingscience]

That mini boomerang costs $10 with shipping .Those kids were first time throwers!If he's athletic he might want one that flys further-an adult type.

[hardy330]

Hey I am wondering what kind of boomerang would be good for a beginner

[flyingscience]

How old are you? I have a brand new model that is awesome .I will film it tomorrow .Its extra wide so it hovers longer .

[hardy330]

I am 13

[flyingscience]

Watch this old video (the new one is better, longer hang time not shown ! ) copy paste-"Boomerangs -Balsa wood mini rangs "

[flyingscience]

Note the links to galleries and catalogs on the right video description blue more info .

[supergooddeal]

Very , very nice work. I noticed on most all of them you turned the tips up. How does that effect the flight.?

[flyingscience]

Tips warped up (positive diehedral ) is a must on most boomerangs .

[flyingscience]

It makes the boomerang rise more and smaller circle flight.If a boomerang cant circle all the way aroud it needs warped tips .

[flyingscience]

I have a video on how to warp them with angle of attack explanationas well .

[flyingscience]

Call me if you need to know about tape tabs , coins weignts , rubber bands velcro to affect flight .Most boomerangs are modified .

[flyingscience]

have you seen competition rangs , look at all the tricks the pros do to a raw boomerang to increase performance .I can give a few pointers on the phone .

[supergooddeal]

Thanks for the pointers. I have heard of adding the coins-weights to the tips for further flight. I am going to give it a try today if the weather gets better. I know how to throw with wind but fine tunning should be done on a calm day. I just did an indian head that will need the tips warped up.

[techdeckblind5]

you have a cool/huge collection

[ongbangjun]

neat...

[McTurtle1973]

Your boomerangs look great in this video series. Well done. :)

[greenberettt]
