I was jumping up and down with so much excitement, you'd of thought Maury just told me I wasn't the father.
I'm coming for you Aussie bastards soon enough.

the original purpose is to throw around a tree full of birds, then kill one with your other (non-returning) throwing stick

True story: obtained boomarang. Wife kept trying it throw so it would return. After many failures, she successfully ranged the boom and 1/2

Well, I stand corrected. As an old Aussie I thought it was an obvious joke. Learn something new everyday, if one has an open mind.

iirc boomerangs are curved on one side and flat on the other, allowing it to curve through the air when thrown correctly.

Throw it angled edge first, not the open side and BTW, it hurts like hell to catch it, they move fast and have sharp edges.

They do, but you have to get all the variables right. Have to throw at the right angle and it has to be the right weight, etc.

You _can_ make a boomerang come back, but when hunting that's not what you're doing with it.

they're not supposed to. if you caught a real boomerang in motion, you'd shatter your hand. they're hunting weapons to kill birds.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 2

Still, having it land next to you is better than having to look for it.

boomerangs used for hunting will return if they don't hit a bird. still not a great idea to catch it.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I was also told this by a bunch of aborigines. They said it would be madness to try to catch it mid flight

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

I've seen them caught. You've got to get your hand speed close to that of the boomerang before you catch it, then slow it down over >
