John Flynn, of White River Junction, a ten-time member of the U.S. national boomerang team, practices his throwing and catching at the Dresden Athletic Fields in Norwich, Vt., Sunday, May 7, 2017. "Most of the exercise is in chasing it," said Flynn, though an ideal throw returns to the position at which the boomerang was thrown. "There's like 550 pages of physics that describe what a boomerang does. A guy got his PHD on it in 1973," said Flynn. "I haven't read it." (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
