LEFTHANDED OR RIGHTHANDED
All our boomerangs will work, regardless of which is your dominant hand. Only the throwing technique is different based on which hand you use
INSTRUCTIONS FOR RIGHTHANDED THROWERS
Your boomerang has a flat side and a rounded side. Hold your boomerang with a loose grip, like a pen, with the rounded side facing you.
Throw the boomerang at 45° to 60° to the right of the wind.
Hold the boomerang at shoulder height. It must leave your hand in this position, slightly tilted (5o to 15o) towards the right.
Aim at a point directly in front of you, the trunk of a tree for example.
Throw the boomerang loosely, opening your arm. Just before letting go, sharply jerk your wrist to spin it.

SAFETY TIPS
- Find a large open area. You will need to find a large open space where you can safely throw your boomerang without losing it or accidentally hitting other people. In general, you will want an area where you have at least 35 meters (115 feet) of space on all sides. Football fields, soccer pitches, open park spaces and empty beaches are all good options. Make sure there are not too many trees or bushes for your boomerang to get caught in.
- Watch out for weather conditions. Wind is one of the most important factors in the proper return of a boomerang. Ideally, you want a nice, calm day, with winds between 0 and 4 m/s (between 0 and 9 mph). Avoid throwing your boomerang in anything above a medium wind, as it will distort the path of the boomerang and throw it off course.
- Throw the boomerang at the appropriate position, as specified in Step 3 of the throwing instructions. One of the biggest mistakes is throwing a boomerang tilted towards the right more than 30o or throwing it like a frisbee (horizontally). In this situation, a boomerang can swoop straight up into the sky and dive back at you very steep and fast, which can cause serious injury to you or anyone nearby.
- Age recommendation. Boomerangs are sports equipment that should be used only by an adult or by youth under the supervision of an adult.
