DIY Hunting Boomerang


Boomerang is one of the most non-standard weapons. It was used to hunt and defeat unlucky opponents in ancient Egypt, India, Africa, Indonesia, etc. A boomerang is not difficult to make, but in case of a miss, it returns to the owner. The shock power of a combat boomerang is such that, if it hits your head, your opponent will be fatal, falling into other parts of the body will lead to serious fractures and injuries. Therefore, caution is above all, there is a danger of entering the Guinness Book of Records, like a moron who took his head with a boomerang ...

In principle, for making boomerangs is all you need - This is a set of labor from school and a piece of plywood:
1. Jigsaw
2. Sandpaper
3. Plywood 10 mm thick
4. A sheet of paper, pencil and scissors

Procedure:

Step one. We draw a sketch of the future boomerang. Take a piece of thick paper, preferably cardboard, and apply a grid with a square side equal to 50 mm. Be careful, the aerodynamics of your boomerang depend on how correctly you prepare your sketch. Make sure that the sides of the boomerang are symmetrical.

Step Two Cut your workpiece with scissors and transfer it to plywood.

Step Three Now, as you already guessed, you need to carefully cut the future boomerang along the contour.

Step Four The finale and, probably, one of the most difficult and painful steps, if you have nothing to sand other than sandpaper. The surface of the boomerang should be perfectly smooth, so polish it with sandpaper. During polishing, the boomerang thickness decreases by approximately 2 mm.

You can look at the second, third and fourth steps for clarity in this picture:


In the end, if you have the opportunity, you can paint the boomerang with varnish. Then it will last longer, the varnish forms a strong film that is well resistant to various external physical and chemical influences.

Thank you very much for the detailed description and drawing. Do not believe what my husband is doing today ... looking for materials for crafts according to your model! Before that, he made a slingshot from the rubber chamber of a bicycle.
We didn’t do this at school, so he got the idea to throw a boomerang. The use as a weapon scares me, I have to hide away from his "training". Most of all I liked the idea of ​​painting a boomerang, I think I will have to take this function on myself. It’s a pity, you didn’t share the equipment and will it not affect its main task - return?
For the first time I hear that boomerang is used for hunting. I more perceived it as a toy with which people have fun on vacation. Simple enough to manufacture, without unnecessary troubles. Boys will definitely like such a boomerang. Special thanks to the author for instructions on the proper use of this device. Personally, I never even held it in my hands.
To be honest, I did not know that the boomerang was originally intended for hunting. It always seemed to me that it was created for entertainment - to run it into the distance and wait for the return. This master class turned out to be very informative for me in the history of its application. I wonder what makes the boomerang come back and what is its weight?
Since childhood, the mechanics of boomerang flight have fascinated me. Indeed, a boomerang is an amazing hunting weapon that can cover a distance of over 100 meters. I did not know that there is still a non-returning boomerang. In this MK proposed boomerang returning. It is a pity that I myself do not know how to use a jigsaw, otherwise I would have definitely made such a son for entertainment.
That's right, but it’s impossible to train in throws without real weapons in your hands. The boomerang made is akin to the rookie fighter school. If the teenager has enough patience in literally following the instructions, it is already clear that he will get the hang of taking into account the wind, really experiencing the possibilities of a boomerang.
Boomerang can also be made of plywood of smaller thickness (for example, five-layer 6 mm) - the “flight” qualities of the projectile will not be affected at all. By the way, making a boomerang is much easier than learning how to throw it correctly. Firstly, there are several options for capturing a projectile during a throw. And for each of these options there are some nuances.
I made exactly the same boomerang at school at labor lessons. The most difficult and longest is the cutting of the workpiece itself. Since many people do not have much experience with a jigsaw, the nail files often break and need to be changed. Of course, you can still later wipe it with sandpaper and apply whatever the picture, but it's a long time.
