Boomerang Updates
I haven't really been writing lately. I have been way to busy with work and travel just takes the extra drive out of me. Since the last posting I did get to attend the Houston Long Distance Boomerang Shootout and get in two rounds of throws. I only managed one legal throw for 79 meters but my last two tosses were over 90 and 100, having just missed clearing the left side pole by a few feet.
Also in the news is Ian has written an article about the graduation project on boomerangs for the USBA Journal, Many Happy Returns. The article, with a forward by me and some photos, takes up three pages in the next issue and should be available withing the next couple weeks. Ian's presentation is also scheduled very soon so we will get the results of his hard work.
Those of you looking for a project to make fun returning objects may want to check my Webshots album at: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/561119395tNvpCP
In the album I show how to make tumblesticks from left over political signs. Many of these signs are made from corroplast (corrugated plastic) and make great tumblesticks if you can find ones large enough. I'll post some photos of how to throw them. My sister tell me this is the ultimate recycling project. First of all, you recyle the material. Then the tumblesticks recycle themselves every time you toss them. Is that great or what?
