ONE Boomerangs

On the weekend I received a boomerang order, the order was for boomerangs that weren't in the Catalog but we're from a time when I made them in the past, I was happy to oblige as they were great designs that weren't popular from a sales point, I'm not sure why as they have so much potential for competition, anyway I went down to my workshop and got stuck into cutting and shaping, I revised the airfoil to make them even better than before, I went and tested them in the park and they were fantastic flyers, both a ton of fun and super accurate.  The improvements were so good I will be putting them back in the Catalog shortly, I am very happy to say the least.  The two designs are the Blast and the Cyclone, the Blast is a 50m triblader, tiny and compact, it likes a bit of wind, totally mesmerising in flight, the Cyclone is a multi purpose boomerang, it's best suited to accuracy, endurance or team relay, again lovely flight and dead on accuracy.  I feel I have breathed n...

ByI have decided to make my boomerangs at extremely affordable prices, same performance as always, the only difference now is they are no fuss finishes, this means you save and still have a high performance boomerang that is more than capable of making you a winner in competition or recreation, visit ONE Boomerangs   to find the boomerang that suits you. www.competitionboomerangs.com www.adamcarrollboomerangs.com www.realboomerangs.com

Times are tough everywhere as we know but that hasn't stopped me revising the boomerang range and making them even more affordable for my customers, I have slashed prices by half, the performance is still the same, the difference is the finishes are more simplified and only available in flourescent colours, the surface of the boomerangs are textured to greatly improve grip.  All boomerangs in the range are an absolute bargain, now is the best time to buy a boomerang from  One Boomerangs

I started making a range of flourescent polypropylene boomerangs again, they look fantastic and fly great, they feature a rough texture that makes the grip very secure which inspires confidence when throwing.  The range will be up on the ONE BOOMERANGS website very soon and will be available at very affordable prices, there will be something go for everyone, these will include fast catch, trick catch and Aussie Round style boomerangs.  For high performance boomerangs go to www.oneboomerangs.com

I have made boomerangs out of in the past and it's only until now I have realised the benefits of ABS over other plastics, the density is just right for performance in just about all the boomerang range, the only exception being MTA which is still made from phenolic. I have reduced the size of all the boomerangs and now they are mini in size, they feature the same performance as bigger boomerangs but are more compact and easier to throw, also they are easier to transport as they take up very little space.   Here are some photos of the current range, I will keep adding new boomerangs to the Catalog from time to time. All boomerangs are available from  One Boomerangs

 Hi all, I have just come back to boomerangs from a long break, with work and family commitments something had to give, anyway I am back and feeling all enthused with many great ideas, the range of boomerang designs has been trimmed down and I now offer a my boomerangs in a variety of plastics. I am exclusively using fluorescent paint on all boomerangs as it is so much easier on the eyes, my main colours are fluorescent pink & orange, I also spray a clear coat which really makes the boomerangs pop, they look much better. The plastics I am using are ABS, phenolic, and polypropylene all have their benefits for different designs, ABS is for more recreational boomerangs, phenolic is more for the boomerangs traveling 50+ meters, the polypropylene is great for the trick catch boomerangs and the fast catch designs. Take a look at the photos and remember these boomerangs are available from ONE Boomerangs, visit my site at www.oneboomerangs.com   #boomerangs #australia #austra...

I have recently gone through some changes and a relaunch of my website, I've changed the finishes and boy they look dramatic and stunning and the same time, I am mainly focusing on bright colours, the aim is to make the boomerangs highly visible for safety and to look visually stunning as well, I think I have succeeded in my endeavour, hope everyone likes them. www.oneboomerangs.com #boomerangs #australia #australianboomerangs #returningboomerangs #boomerangsforsale #oneboomerangs #aussieboomerangs #handcraftedboomerangs #boomerangcompetitions

I cant remember what year it was but somewhere in the 90s ? a few of my boomerang friends decided to go into the city of Sydney and do a night boomerang throw, it was late and dark but this was a great idea, from memory the photo was to be used as part of a presentation for an upcoming boomerang competition and to be given away as part of the awards. Gunther, Kevin and I hopped in the car and drove to the city, we found an amazing spot right next to the harbor, the lights from the buildings were shining on the water, the Sydney opera house and Harbor bridge were in full view, this was the perfect setting for a photo, all our boomerangs had sparklers attached to get the effect of the flight of the boomerang, we threw and threw all trying to get the honor of the perfect shot, my boomerang landed in the harbor, Kevin said to me "Go on be a man dive in and get it" my response "There is no way I am going in to get that" it was dark and scary looking in the water and I ...

I have been experimenting with a wide variety of plastic for my trick catch boomerangs, some turned out good and some great, I have tried many ideas and designs.  For trick catch boerangs I knew I needed a plastic with high density and very thin, this was the criteria, the reason for high density is so the boomerang would have better wind resistance, the same goes for the thickness, if it is thinner it will also be wind resistant and be able to cope better with the conditions.  I have been using PVC for years but predominantly in 3mm thickness, I purchased a sheet in 1.5mm thickness and got to work on cutting out and shaping some tribladers shapes, these turned out great and the proof is in the performance ! I went to the park and threw some doubler style booms and they went up very high and I found them to be super stable with a gentle hover, fantastic, I am hooked, the PVC is the way to go for trick booms. I will now be making all my trick booms in pvc, these will be availab...

I've made many boomerangs and I've done pretty paint jobs, all smooth and shiny for customers, this is fine and the customers I'm sure appreciate it but smooth can also mean slippery, of course this depends on the conditions and the throwers grip and hand strength.  Some boomerangs on the market feature really glossy finishes but very little grip, especially when wet, of course I can't speak for all boomerangs on the market but I have noticed some throwers adding grip tape to a smooth boomerang when I think it could be added during the finishing of the boomerang.  Of course in the end it comes down to what the customer wants. The above picture of a ONE Boomerangs  "Spirit" boomerang features a very grippy surface and I believe it still looks presentable. These days I prefer to add texture to the surface of the boomerang to increase grip, sure they mightn't be as pretty to look at but I have always placed boomerang performance as the #1 cr...

Well, when I first started making boomerangs I could see it was a hard task, not only was good quality plywood hard to find but if you did find some it cost The earth to buy, I did try a wide variety of plywood, everything from Queensland maple, Hoop pine, Meranti and Finish birch, all reasonable quality but I couldn't find any consistency from sheet to sheet, the grain varied a lot and the density was always different and not consistent, this doesn't help repeat ability when making boomerangs. I like the fact to that plastic is incredibly easy to tune without breaking, especially polypropylene. Then I had a bright spark, what about I use plastic, not only is it consistent in density but it's easily available and there is a diverse range of plastic that are more readily up the the job, polypropyle was available just down the road from where I lived, this was great, the only one that seemed hard to get was phenolic but a few phone calls sorted that out and I c...

Wow, the possibilities are endless, the colours and designs can all be chosen at random, want a particular colour ??, If I have it in stock you can have it, that is the beauty of choosing a boomerang from www.oneboomerangs.com you the customer get to choose a real Australian made boomerang, not a boomerang that is designed to be hung on a wall, you get a boomerang that has been thoroughly tested and refined over many years, at www.oneboomerangs we stand behind what we sell, real returning quality boomerangs at cheap prices.  All ONE Boomerangs are made from high quality German polymer, no cheap rubbish plastic, you will only receive the best made in Australia again at reasonable prices.  After 30 years of making boomerangs I know what I am talking about and if you aren't fully satisfied you will receive a full money back guarantee, I want you happy with what I have made, that is most important.  So next time I put are lookin...

Wow, by popular demand the amazing Spirit boomerang will be reintroduced to the ONE Boomerangs Catalog, some people are referring to the Spirit as the best boomerang they have ever thrown, I have been inundated with requests to bring it back, so it will be up as soon as I can get to it.  New features will include a thinner Polypropylene material that makes it a superior and fantastic performing boomerang, who would have thought this boomerang could be improved any further but I have managed to squeeze all I can out of this boomerang, same distance but even easier to throw.  I have also made the Spirit boomerang more compact by including a mini version and the regular all time favourite that everyone loves.  You will be able to buy your Spirit from www.oneboomerangs.com very soon, and remember that one boomerangs is the home of made to order boomerangs, we specialise in performance boomerangs and not mass produced sausages.

Well, I have to say it is an amazing experience just to help people,  I have learnt a lot from sharing what I know from years of making boomerangs,  every now and then I get people asking me all sorts of questions, mostly regarding how to throw and tune boomerangs, it's something that is learnt over time just like anything really,  the only difference is there isn't much information about the subject!!, there is probably two really informative boomerang books that go into great depth on the subject.  I have found some new and amazing friends on social media,  some are completely new to the craft and some have been making a lot longer than me, all this keep it interesting and only want to help people more and more,  it also give me an avenue to share my information with those that want to know more.  I think the social media has been so important to connect with other boomerang throwers,  I have made some great friends that will continue in this a...

Well, I am changing the way I paint my boomerangs, I have tried many finishes and I have found that people are loving the new stencil designs, the new range will be vibrant and exciting and fresh.  Also I have some new boomerang shapes in the works, some of the exciting new boomerangs will be for trick catching, fast catch, and Aussie round.you can visit my site for more info: www.oneboomerangs.com #boomerangs #australia #australianboomerangs #returningboomerangs #boomerangsforsale #oneboomerangs #aussieboomerangs #handcraftedboomerangs #boomerangcompetitions #boomerangsport 

Coming up with new boomerang designs can be a daunting task,  it takes many hours to make the perfect boomerang to perform a particular task, there are many failures and many victories, also there can be many trips to the park back and forth constantly tweaking and trying different materials to get it right.  Boomerang making is definitely a labor of love, I have literally made thousands of boomerangs, some have been great and some just needed a little bit more time and redesign to be great.  I am working on several new designs right now that will be for fast catch and trick catch competition, also I am looking at older designs that can possibly be made more user friendly with just a few design changes. All boomerangs I make are available from my website  www.oneboomerangs.com   #boomerangs #australia #australianboomerangs #returningboomerangs #boomerangsforsale #oneboomerangs #aussieboomerangs #handcraftedboomerangs #boomerangcompetitions #boomerangsport...

Hi everyone, well the 21st December was a special day, all boomerang throwers around the world were invited to throw a boomerang on the same day. The significance of the day was in 2012 the world was meant to end on the 21st of December 2012, as we know it didn't because we are all still here ! To celebrate life and the continuation of life and everything it brings to us we as boomerang throwers throw on this day every year since 2012. This event was brought about by American boomerang maker and thrower David Fantone, he is an amazing boomerang maker and highly regarded the world over for his performance boomerangs. The following is my account of the day. It was a rainy and miserable day here in Tasmania on the day of the throw, I said to my wife I that I am going to wait for a break in the weather and I am going to throw even if its raining, nothing was going to stop me participating in this amazing event, that afternoon there was a break in the weather, I quickly grabbed my...

When I started making boomerangs there wasn't much help available regarding how to do this and how to do that, I taught myself, I asked lots of questions to fellow boomerang throwers but when you are competing against other throwers it can be difficult to get information because after all they want to win too! I actually questioned a thrower as to why he doesn't help me, his response was "Of course I don't help you because you are a really good thrower". The word persistence springs to mind when I think about my struggle to design a better boomerang that would suit my needs in competition, I can remember buying sheet after sheet of a variety of plastics in order to learn the craft, most of the plastic ended up as waste and went into the bin, it seemed to me just too hard to learn how to shape the different boomerangs into flying and returning objects, I would spend countless hours running back and forth to the park, making subtle adjustments in tuning to get the...
