Boomerang is a hunting projectile used by ancient people. It could be made from a crooked stick, cut from bone or mammoth ivory. A special property of this curved object is that, having described a complex trajectory in the air, it returns to the one who launched it. The boomerang is thrown vertically, but it flies back in the horizontal plane.

Instructions
Step 1
If you are going to launch a boomerang, find out if you have a two-way or one-way projectile? If both ends are the same, then it is a double-sided boomerang. On one side, one end is flat, and the other is rounded. The round side of a one-sided boomerang is its top. It is very important to determine when you are going to throw the boomerang.
Step 2
For those who are just starting to work with a boomerang, the first launches are best done in complete calm. The trajectory of the boomerang's flight is very sensitive to the slightest gusts of wind, which may even be invisible to the eyes. Launch the projectile in absolutely calm weather, and then, when you master the technique, you will be able to control its flight and take into account deviations due to the wind.
Step 3
To launch, you need to choose a location - there should be enough space. Do not have electrical wires nearby or people walking around. Boomerang is a dangerous object, do not throw it towards people and animals.
Step 4
Take the boomerang vertically, squeeze the very end of it in your fist. Choose a target. The most conveniently positioned target is slightly higher than the level of the launching hand. Hold the boomerang firmly, but lightly and loosely enough without straining. The main fingers holding it are the index and thumb. The boomerang launch plane is vertical, the movement should be sharp and biting, the whole body and especially the wrist.
Step 5
Catching a boomerang is more difficult than launching it. If you have a shell purchased at a random place, without consulting a knowledgeable person, then at first do not try to catch it, watch how it comes back. Some boomerangs have sharp edges and can be dangerous to catch. They take the projectile like this: they clamp it with two palms, as if they want to clap their hands. Use gloves at first to avoid injuring your hands.
