Hand Painted Aboriginal Bull Roarer 8"
$18.50
BULL 300
The bull roarer is thin piece of wood with a slight twist in its shape. When swung rapidly in a circular motion the twist in the timber causes a bass singing note. Traditionally, the bull roarer is swung using a long piece of string fashioned from bark, reed or grass. For practical purposes, we include a cotton string.
Our bull roarers are made in Australia by Australian Aborigines and are hand painted with traditional tribal animal designs (designs will vary, as they are all individually painted). If you want to know what animals are in stock, just give us a call!

| Boomerang Throwing Instructions
Caution: Boomerangs can be dangerous if improperly used. Always select a large, clear grassy area when throwing any boomerang. Make sure to follow the instructions below.
(1) You will notice that the boomerang is flat on one side and rounded on the other. Hold the boomerang flat side to your palm with the end about the middle of the palm.
(2) Face the direction from which the wind is blowing, then turn at an angle of about 45 degrees to the right.
(3) Raise the boomerang above your right shoulder, tilt it slightly right of vertical, and in a relaxed manner throw it forward and slightly upward, imparting a spinning mothion to it as it leaves your hand. Never throw a boomerang horizontally, as it will zoom sharply upward and dive to the ground in a manner dangerous to the thrower and the boomerang.
(4) To obtain accurate results in boomerang throwing, it is essential that the thrower stand on one spot and select an aiming point in the direction of the throw. If the boomerang does not return to you, throw to the right or left of the original aiming mark until it does. If thrown correctly, the boomerang will follow an elliptical course and return to you from the left side.
(5) In calm conditions, you will need to throw the boomerang harder than in breezy conditions.
Practice, Practice, Practice!
