i made one yesterday it was easy an took me less than 10 minutes, mainly because the branch already had the shape, i tested it just once yesterday an it flies "strong and true" i hitted the tree (wow what an acomplishment) from 30, to 40 yards, and the stick was lost in the foliage, (im not sure if "foliage" means leaves) i got it back a few minutes ago. heres a pic.
Pd. i dont know what wood it is, it is a branch taken from one of the trees in the backyard, but it is very strong and heavy, and kinda dificult to cut. i realized a rabbit stick could be a very good self defense weapon, you know, like a wooden sword-club

Looks pretty cool, is it carved flat like a blade or is it still a stick?

jaja im sorry, i tried to translate directly from spanish without consulting a dictionery.
when saying ergonomic i translated from ergonomico (duh!) it means it is made to fit perfectly over a part of human body, i think. this time it is made to fit a closed fist.

it is still a stick, it is neccesary to make it flat?, because that would drastically reduce  the weight of the stick and maybe increase it's air resistance

o wow, now i have to make one

well yeah, but you got to make sure it's made from a rather light weight metal. if it was iron, you'd probably drop it, not to mention throwing it

thanks

For a non-returner, use the symmetrical one. For a returner you need one of the two above.

I has very low drag so you dont lose energy during the flight.

thanks for clarifying what is an airfoil, its like the shape the airplane wings have, isnt it?

and i meant that if i made it flat it could turn in the air ( instead of cutting the air with the edge, expose the one of the flat sides to the air resistance)
that would cut its trayectory drastically.

i think i could carve an airfoil in it withouth any problem though.
