These are examples of typical boomerangs.
Two Australian wood rangs in the tradition or "trad" style. They are what most people think rangs look like. The top rang is Rotary Maple, the bottom rang is Coachwood. Both feature embossed art detail.
Two brightly colored 3 wingers-this style is often referred to as "radial wing" because the wings "radiate" from center of the rang. These are handcrafted in ABS Plastic. Weatherproof, and durable.
There are many radial types on the market. Many with 3 wings, some with 4 wings. There are several technical reasons that contest throwers use radial wingers. Once you become involved in this sport, you'll understand the popularity of radial wing rangs.

Australian Aboriginal Weapons
A mulga wood wall plaque that illustrates 3 of the basic Australian Aboriginal weapons: Boomerangs; Spears and Woomera(a spear throwing device unique to the Aboriginals of Australia) The boomerangs I sell are NOT weapons, but true sports devices.
Early Boomerangs
The very first Aussie Boomerangs I began selling in 1975. They are the Basic traditional wood rangs designed by LORIN HAWES.
In the early days of the annual Smithsonian Associates Boomerang Workshops, Ben Ruhe provided this easy to use rang. It continues to be one of the best basic rangs. The tan rang is the M-17, the blond boomerang is the KP-16.

If you are ever traveling through Monroe, Louisiana(Hwy I-20), give me a call. I'll be happy to give you a tour of my shop. Weather permitting, we might even get to do some throwing in Forsythe Park.

Boomerangs work. However, it's important that you select a "rang"
that you or the thrower can handle. If you are giving a boomerang as a gift, remember that rangs come in both Right Hand and Left Hand versions.
GOOD ON YER!
