Q&A for How to Throw a Boomerang

No. Non-returning boomerangs were originally designed for hunting, so the purpose of their design was to get the most power and accuracy out of the flight. Having them return makes the flight too unpredictable and without enough power to actually hunt something, but they're still fun to throw!

The boomerang continues to spin (you have to put a lot of spin on it for it to return) and follows an elongated loop back to your non-throwing side. For right handers, that means it travels away from you, turns to your left and makes a big circle coming back.

Either you aren't throwing it correctly, or it is a non-returning boomerang.

It would be too light to return to you, and it would have to be thrown indoors because the lightest breeze would make it impossible to throw. However, you could try gluing multiple layers of cardboard together.

Not with an origami or wooden boomerang, only four spiked boomerangs can be thrown like a frisbee.
