Book Reviews of Boomerangs: How to Make and Throw Them
Book Review: A fun, do-it-yourself sport/hobby for all ages
Summary: 4 Stars
Mason tells how to build and throw an assortment of throwing objects besides the boomerangs, built out of wood or cardboard. As well, he suggests forms of competitions and judging. He puts a big emphasis on safety -- boomerangs and throwing sticks were designed to bring down small game, or even enemy warriors, so they require care in use. This would be a great addition to the after-school or summer fun program of your park, club, or school. It's also fine to do by yourself during the hours the playground is empty.Book Review: Who knew there could be so much to learn about boomerangs!
Summary: 4 Stars
My son has an affinity for the Aussie weapon. He often would try to construct a model boomerang from cardboard and other materials. A few would last for a brief duration while others failed altogether. I purchased this book to help him better understand the structural considerations among the various boomerang designs in use. The book is a quick read, and soon afterwards my son was designing better boomerangs.Book Review: Pretty good reprint...
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book as a kid so I purchased a copy for my kids.
Everything you need to know to make boomerangs of all types is covered here. The book does show its age some, as do many Dover reprints (you are unlikley to find the wooden sticks used by service stations for checking gas level anymore... use a thick yardstick instead).
Book Review: boomerang making
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent introduction to making and throwing boomerangs, but is a little out of date. Unless you want to make a left handed boomerang, this book will show you everything you need. I found the section on tumblesticks especially interesting.Book Review: Very easy to read
Summary: 4 Stars
Very easy book to read and understand. I have yet to try to build any of the booerangs it explains how to build, but I now have the basic understanding of how to do just that.
