The potential hunting range of a given model of throwstick is the max range we reasonably expect it to be able to be accurately deployed by an experienced and skilled thrower for game hunting against an intended target, carrying enough energy to that range to be lethal for that target. In some models this target would ideally be a mob of emu, a flock of turky or waterfowl, or single rabbits at closer ranges. Smaller kylies are more oriented for smaller game and this should be taken into consideration.

Human accuracy is also typically unequal to the accuracy of the kylie itself. Our potential hunting range is an estimate and may be exceeded or not equalled in actual hunting situations. We are giving a reasonable guess in most instances based in the flight performance and energy carry of the particular model of stick. Beyond potential huntring ranges we see the throwsticks begin to lose more significant airspeed, energy or accuracy. The individual factors that may limit a specific model are often specific to that model and its intended application.

Hopi Rabbit Sticks are for rabbit hunting at shorter ranges. They can travel 90 meters but carry little energy towards the end of the flight compared to sticks of similar weight like the karli. The karli carries its energy well out to longer ranges but being light weight, it still isn't quite adequate for larger sized game. The Central Desert Hunter carries significant energy out past 100 meters but accuracy begins to diminish significantly towards the end of its flight because human throwing errors are magnified at such great distances. It may be able to still do damage to a flock of ducks on the wing at 120 meters but we feel that generally this is beyond its reasonable, potential hunting range of most game.

The total range that our models of throwsticks will travel is measured and updated periodically in meters, from where the stick is thrown to where it has landed. A stick may skid on the ground for a few meters after landing, or may carry significantly less kinetic energy at the end of its flight, making total range a longer range than practical hunting distance. We are very objective in our measurements of total range and use a meter wheel to obtain them.
