To throw a boomerang correctly, follow these key steps: 1. Grip:
Hold the boomerang with the flat (unpainted) side against your palm. Pinch it between your thumb and middle finger, with your index finger resting on top to help apply spin when throwing

. 2. Position and Angle:
Hold the boomerang nearly vertical or with a slight tilt of about 10 to 15 degrees from vertical. Avoid throwing it flat or horizontally, as this can cause erratic flight or dangerous dive-bombs

. 3. Wind Direction:
Face into the wind and throw the boomerang at about 30 to 45 degrees to the right of the wind if you are right-handed (to the left if left-handed). The wind helps the boomerang complete its circular flight path and return to you

. 4. Throwing Motion:
Curl your arm back and then uncoil it in a smooth, fluid motion. Just before releasing, snap your wrist downward to impart strong spin on the boomerang. The spin is crucial for the boomerang’s returning flight

. 5. Release Height and Aim:
Throw from around shoulder height, aiming at a point directly in front of you, such as a tree trunk or distant object. The boomerang should leave your hand with a slight tilt and spin

. 6. Catching:
Catch the boomerang with both hands in a clapping motion as it returns and slows near you. Avoid catching when it is diving or moving fast to prevent injury

. Safety Tips:

• Use a large open space free of obstacles and people.
• Avoid throwing in strong winds (ideal wind speed is 0-4 m/s).
• Never throw flat or sidearm.
• Boomerangs are sports equipment, not toys, and should be used responsibly

With patience and practice, you can master the throw and enjoy the boomerang’s unique flight and return
