The Stinger
Inspired by so called "fighting boomerangs" (kylies) of the Kimberley, Australia, the Stinger is our entry level product for short range hunting (32-54 yards / 30-50 meters).

Hand crafted from tough, black polycarbonate
Approx. 580mm/22.875" x 315g/11.1oz
Potential hunting range out to approx. 32-54 yards / 30-50 meters for skilled throwers
Total travel distance of approx. 65-93 yards / 60-85 meters (individual results may vary)
Fully ambidextrous and can be thrown by either arm for different effects. Recommended to be thrown by trailing arm.
Universal tapered "ice-pick" grip to accommodate almost all throwers. Strong grip strength recommended for best results.
Mid wing grip area is a useful dig/carry handle and aids in secure belt carry retention
Vertical knife style throwing possible but watch for bounce back as with a throwing knife.
Ideal for short range small game hunting and target throwing
Ideal when space is limited, and as a multi-tool
Not a long range kylie. Loses energy to drag at longer ranges, which keeps it in a smaller area.
The Stinger is our entry level hunting boomerang. It is designed to be a last ditch survival tool for short range small game hunting, clearing brittle brush and digging. One tool to do it all....
Lacking many of the aerodynamic refinements and ergonomics of our higher end models, but in exchange, featuring sharply pointed ends..., the Stinger is a formidable flying weapon for those who are limited on space or who are looking for a multi-tool backup weapon to add to their kit.
Shorter range sticks are less likely to hover out and be lost in the distance, and so possibly more ideal when targets are presenting very close up or when working in darker environments. Being short in length, it's also an excellent choice for tight spaces in the forest where a longer stick can become entangled in brush.
The Stinger is fully ambidextrous and it offers a variety of throwing options and techniques to master. From vertical knife like throws at short range, to horizontal throws held by either arm. The trailing arm hold offers more float at lower speeds and is our recommended technique.
A smooth and accurate release from the tapered grip allows for fantastic accuracy for strong hands, but retention is more difficult than with other models for the same reason. Concentrating grip strength towards the smaller fingers which are wrapping around the tip of the stick allows for best results.
As our entry level model, the Stinger is not a long ranged kylie. It will not magically retain energy and level flights for extreme ranges like some of our other models. But if you are working with limited space, limited budget, or want a kylie as a backup to your other gear, then this is a great multi-tool to acquire.
In the video we show the Stringer being used to aid in climbing. It has proven to be very effective at this but please note that there are dangers to this and we do not recommend this practice. The pointed ends can create a stabbing hazard, climbing is inherently dangerous, and it should not be relied upon to navigate difficult terrain or as a reliable earth anchor. Also because of the pointed ends, this is not the recommended stick to take while on horseback or running, as a falling incident could prove injurious.

I received my first Stinger from you and love it! In fact, I love it so much I just ordered 2 more for my nephew's birthdays at the end of the month. I want to thank you for making a quality product. That is such a rarity these day. I can't say mine will ever be used for the original purpose of hunting. However both of my nephews are young bucks in The Boy scouts. One of them is working on his Eagle Scout. They will definitely put these Stingers through the paces! May you, your family, and your business know the blessing and prosperity of the Lord. Thank you again for your blessings of a great and fun throwing stick! - Scott (Oklahoma, United States)

Not my first stinger but a I really like the stinger & it’s versatility. I take it on almost all my hikes. I’ll toss it for fun; but I end up using it a lot for climbing in mud, snow & steep places.

Love it! The Kimberly Stinger flies straight and true and hits hard!!
A lot of fun to throw and I should have bought two or three as that would
mean less walking to the target. - Marc A. (Louisiana, United States)

bought it as a gift for my brother's birthday and he loves it. (he tends to love anything outdoorsy). He also says that it throws well and didn't break after hitting a few trees. I definitely plan on buying some more as gifts for family members as well as one for myself. Also, the black with the white stripes look great.

I received my Kimberley Stinger a few weeks ago, and I’ve hardly been able to put it down. The videos were convincing enough to make me give it a try, but I can’t believe how fun it is to get out and throw. They make no sound, require no ammunition and little cleaning, and after several unfortunate knocks into concrete fence posts, only minimal wear can be observed that doesn’t affect performance. I highly recommend these throw sticks, and can understand the “primal feeling” one experiences when participating in ancient hunting techniques. I will be making more purchases in the future. - Carl S. (Indiana)

Good stick! Flies nicely, durable, and can handle power. With slight tail winds can reach a range of 100 yards, but would not be very useful at that range. - Miller B. (Iowa, United States)

I received the stinger and have been developing my skill with it. I purchased it to hunt rabbits that are plentiful in our suburban neighborhood. I am now accurate up to about 20 yards that is all I need for rabbits here. I am an older person, and I am developing my strength to throw for distance. It is a great weapon, and I practice every day, thanks also for your videos.
PS: also a lifetime archery hunter. - Fredric H. (Illinois, United States)

Happy Holidays
Hi Ben
Enjoying tossing Kimberley (lol) around. Figured out how to make her spin vertically into a mess of flying quail at the right moment. Still practicing, send you guys a video later. My friends are still in amazement when Kimberley brought down a quail , (28 attempts). - Manuel S. (California, United States)

Having fun with this , I'm working on accuracy but am impressed by how lethal it can be . It's kinda like a throwing knife but you can throw for 25yards. I'm betting I can skewer a rabbit. - Jeffery W. (Michigan, United States)

Great product, will be purchasing more sticks. I purchased a Cold Steel polypropylene boomerang and it is not as durable as your throwing sticks. - Timothy S. (Virginia, United States)

The Throw sticks were gifts for Xmas. The 2 guys that got them were very happy with them. We have not thrown them yet due to our cold weather here in Ohio and West Virginia. I have made my own throw sticks and have purchased 2 from you last year. Since the recipients were left handed the stinger was a good option. - Michael K. (Ohio, United States)

I am enjoying my Kimberly stinger. I have been practicing and am getting better at throwing it. I think this will be a hobby that will bring me a lot of enjoyment in the years to come. I'm impressed with it's quality construction and good looks (mine has the wood finish). All though I like the look of it I have spent a considerable amount of time looking for it, and for my next one I'll be requesting the orange finish. Shipping was very fast. It arrived well packaged. Ordering was easy. It has been an all the way around good experience, and I look forward to adding more items from throwsticks.com to my collection. Thank you, Satisfied customer. - James T. (Idaho, United States)

I lost my last Stinger (black with white stripes) in the woods somewhere. My new one, brown with white stripes, I thought would blend in even more but to my surprise so far has been easier to spot among trees or in the brush. - Mark S. (California, United States)
